It seems that it's about time that I respond to the overbearing question: Hillary or Trump? Neither, to be blunt. Honestly, I wish that Obama could serve a third term because Trump and Clinton (I think she should be referred by her last name since all of the other candidates are normally referred to in this manner, and she is no exception, even if she has a vagina) have turned politics into a Twitter war, a who-can-trash-who-better contest. That's not what the election should be about. It should be about informing the public of the plans that are necessary to help our country thrive, but instead it's pitting everyone against one another. How can America thrive if we all hate one another so viciously and violently?

Trump has promoted hatred towards minorities and groups of people that long for peace and love. He advocates racism and violence towards those who are different, and he will ultimately force our nation to take 10 steps backwards. We will once again face lynching and murder, possible slavery, and the streets will be lined with protesters and blood because people failed to acknowledge the harm in his motives. I do not support Trump in the slightest.

"Let's build a wall." A wall? Is it going to be around Trump 24/7? In that case, he can have his wall and all the hatred that he can muster. I'm tired of hearing him talk about how we should deny immigrants who seek a better lifestyle into the U.S. This country was built on the basis of immigration and we should be taking people in who want to achieve the American Dream. We must all come together for our country to function; otherwise, the country will tear itself apart with the hatred that so many throw out into the world. We are all different and that's what makes us all special and unique. If we don't start accepting each other's differences, then we will never be able to live in peace. I was appalled at how my hometown advocated Trump, his beliefs, and his "solutions" to making America a great nation once more, although it never ceased being great. The direction that we need to be going is a direction involving peace and love, not building a wall and promoting racism.

Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, has had so many allegations made towards her concerning secret e-mails and the FBI that I honestly don't know what is truth and what is not. When she was running against Obama, I supported having a female president, and I was somewhat on her side again this go-around. Bernie Sanders was also an excellent candidate who advocated for the working class. Now, I'm not sure what to really think about Clinton since she and Trump have a bashing war taking place on Twitter, taking jabs at one another over stupid issues that have nothing to do with the government.

It's painful to watch presidential candidates cut deep into one another over stupid shit. There's always issues that get argued over, such as abortion and contraceptives, which shouldn't be argued over since women should have access to both if they deem it necessary. People need to start focusing on the important issues, such as employment and minimum wage, instead of fueling hate and bigotry. We need to strive to love one another and accept our differences to keep our nation from diminishing.
