I argued with myself long and hard on whether I wanted to post this article or not. On one hand, politics are important to me, but on the other, I am sick of this election. I hate both our options, despise them both with a passion, to be more accurate. I feel like crying when I remember these are the two options I have. I decided I wanted my opinion heard, so I early voted and posted this article.

I voted in the primary, and the feeling of voting this time was totally different. When I voted in the primary, I was practically bouncing up and down in excitement. I waited with my Nana in the line that was mainly full of people about her age to cast my first vote for the Republican candidate. I debated on who to vote for because I liked Carson's politics better, but I did not want Trump in office.This led to an excited vote for Ted Cruz because I approved of him, and wanted nothing more than to keep it from coming down to Trump vs. Clinton.

To my disappointment, that is exactly what happened. I watched the political news sighing every time a new story broke. I dreaded having to vote for one of the two because I knew against the two Trump was the one whose political beliefs matched most closely with mine. Eventually, early voting came. I got a ride home with a friend and went to vote with Nana, again. On the way there, I told her just how much I did not want either of them to be president. She sighed and agreed with me but said something that made my vote for Trump easier. She said that she heard a quote from Oprah, in support of Clinton,saying something along the lines of, "You're not voting for them. You're voting for the Supreme Court justices they are putting into office."

So I went into the election office in a different mood than my first vote. I slowly made my way through that line full of people older than me with dread. When it was finally my turn, I walked into that booth, plugged my nose, and voted for Trump as quickly as I could. I wanted to get the ripping a band-aid off effect.

This president is going to get to put new Supreme Court justice in office,and although I don't truly think Trump is as conservative as he claims, he is more likely to put conservative justices on the Supreme Court. This is why despite my dislike and disdain for Trump, I voted for him.
