If you were like me six months ago, you are completely uninformed about the current presidential election. Well, if you're a dumbass like me, here is a guide to what is happening in the election.
First the candidates:
On the Republican side we have John Kasich, who is the governor of Ohio. Some of his key policy positions are that he wants to eliminate wasteful spending from the Pentagon, he wants to make health care a state-regulated issue, and he is pro-life. Kasich has only one won primary in Ohio (his home state), and finished eighth in the Republican caucus in Iowa.
Also on the Republican side we have Ted Cruz, who is a Senator from Texas. Some of his key policy positions are that same-sex marriage should be left to the states, impose a flat tax, and opposes abortions except if the mother's life is in danger. Cruz has won seven primaries for the election, as well as the Iowa Caucus.
Lastly on the Republican side we have Donald Trump, who is a businessman from New York. Some of his key policy positions are that he wants to expand treatment for people suffering from mental health, ban all Muslims from the United States, and to build a wall (yes, a wall.) along the border of Mexico and the United States to regulate immigration.
On the Democratic side we have Bernie Sanders, who is a Senator from Vermont. Some of his key policy positions are that he wants Medicare for all, wants to raise the minimum wage, and he wants to lower the rate of public college tuition.
Also on the Democratic side we have Hillary Clinton, who is the former Secretary of State. Some of her key policy positions are that she is opposed to the Keystone Pipeline (a pipeline that would extend from Canada to the southern US), stricter gun control, and wants to lower interest rates on college tuition.
Now that you know the candidates, you should know how to vote in primaries and on actual election day. According to pollsters, if you want a Republican in the White House, you should vote for Ted Cruz. Cruz has higher numbers when going against Hillary Clinton than frontrunner Donald Trump. So if Hillary wins the Democratic nomination, you would want Cruz against her. And she's probably going to win. If you want a Democrat in the White House, Hillary is your best bet over Bernie, since she is most likely to win the presidency.
In conclusion, if you don't like who is the running for President for your party, still vote. Don't say that you're going to "flee to Canada" because you know what's easier than going to f*cking Canada? Voting.
