Fair warning: This blog is expressing my personal opinion on political matters. Don't be an ass, because I promise I can out-ass you and you will look like a fool.
It is approaching that special time that comes every four years. The election to decide who will be the one fortunate to gain the title of "The Person Who Ran Our Country into the Ground." Having only just turned eighteen a month ago, I am among many first time voters that is stuck with a choice between the lesser of two evils. We are faced with the difficult choice of the unsuccessful ass of a businessman, and the late-middle aged woman who just wants her old house back. And don't try and tell me that there is always "Third Party" choices, because all third parties are are just ways for minorities to think that have a voice in our government while the Big Two always make them irrelevant. But anyways, back to the topic at hand. Both Trump and Clinton are lacking in not just a couple small policies, but all policies. They never seem to have concrete opinions of their own. And yes, I know plenty about how many people like Trump because he "Says what he wants," but in all honesty he is just pushing the same exact policies the Republican Party has been pushing for years, only he uses smaller words and his celebrity status to make them seem like his own. Hillary on the other hand is spewing nonsense that is fed to her, but none of the policies are her own. So therefore, I support neither candidate at all, but know I will be forced to live under their rule for at least the next four years. And so, to those that have picked a side, I ask you, do you know what the hell it is you're supporting? Do you choose one side just because its what you have been told to pick? Or are you a die hard believer of these two "Politicians," claiming to know their values and their policies when they themselves do not know? I myself do not care who you support or why you support them, just for Christ's sake if you're going to wear a Trump or Hillary button, know what it is you support, and who it is that you're supporting.
You say you need to vote between "a lesser of two evils" but instead you could just not vote at all. We're told our vote will be wasted and it's better to have a say then no say at all, but we haven't been here long enough to really know what our world needs at the moment.
