(CNN) Hillary Clinton is not the lesser of two evils in this election. There's only one "evil" in this race, and his name is Donald J. Trump. That was on clear display during Trump's speech Wednesday, which was riddled with falsehoods.

I say this as a person who passionately supported Bernie Sanders during the primaries. After all, Clinton was -- and continues to be -- the less progressive candidate on issues both domestic and foreign. She maintains uncomfortably strong ties to Wall Street and remains hawkish on international affairs.

Of course, there are other issues that have given Sanders supporters room for pause. Clinton received extremely large paychecks for speeches at Goldman Sachs and other big banks after leaving the State Department. She supported a controversial 1994 crime bill that disproportionally affected minorities and then referred to young black men involved in criminal activity as " super predators ." (She has since apologized for the use of that term.) Then there's Clinton's email server controversy -- though frankly this is an issue raised more by conservative opposition than by progressive liberals.

And all of this has taken a toll on her overall favorability. A new CNN poll out Tuesday finds that Trump and Clinton are tied with an abysmal six in 10 Americans viewing both of them as unfavorable candidates.

But the difference between Clinton and Trump is about more than their divergent views on tax law, immigration, or foreign policy. It's about the battle of good versus evil.
