Elections are just around the corner. Campaigns launch themselves into the public, the lies and scandals pile up, and many Americans are left feeling helpless. Despite the feeling of futility and resentment towards our candidates, it is vital for America that we take voting serious. There are many factors between both parties to consider.
Donald Trump is, in my opinion, an idiot. He wouldn't be able to suppress his opinion if someone gorilla glued his mouth shut. While it is admirable in some accounts to be fearless in saying what needs to be said, it is inappropriate and crude in other situations. It stimulates fear of him causing another war due to his lack of negotiation skills. Furthermore, it seems rather idealistic to expect Mexicans to build a wall to block their people from coming into our country. Though it is true that illegal immigrants have cost us jobs and money, our previous administrations were only conducive in these efforts. Trump should come to terms with the fact that our government has let them in, so it wouldn't make sense for him to put all the blame on Mexico. It was past actions (or lack of) that allowed them into our country, so the most we should do is correct it. Hillary Clinton has consistently lied throughout her entire political tenure, saying she supports gay rights when she had previously and firmly stated she did not support such things. She has done countless other acts to prove her reputation of lying. With Clinton as our president, we would have a controlling manipulator as opposed to an offensive moron. It is mortifying what she did to our soldiers in Benghazi. She is a murderer, and she should have never had the opportunity to even run for election. Furthermore, she is beckoning refugees to come to America without having background checks or anything. Hillary Clinton is not that stupid, so she must foresee the negative effects that will come with them. Though I think it is terrible what innocent families have had to endure in Syria, we cannot haphazardly let them in without discovering their intentions for our own safety. Instead, they should go through the process like everyone else, but perhaps be prioritized in order to get innocents to safety, yet keep dangers out. If I were to vote, I'd vote for neither. I would strongly encourage others to vote for the independent party before choosing our next leader based off of keeping a party out of office. A lot of citizens will not even consider the independent party. Unfortunately, our independent is horrifically stupid, unable to even name one world leader (i.e. Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un). Voting should not be about parties, but instead, the person themselves. Our elections have become corrupt, and we could be falling towards the dark days of no freedom whatsoever. Perhaps we should find a new way to enforce balance in our government and ensure that one party does not have absolute control for four to eight years. If we do not figure out something fast, our country is in danger of falling.
