Well, it looks like the results are finally in. This November, expect to see Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump, the two worst possible candidates this season duking it out over who gets to be President for the next four years. One is a lying scumbag that would do anything, say anything to get your vote. The other is Donald Trump.

Interestingly enough, the one person who hasn’t seem to have gotten the memo is Bernie Sanders. Though he certainly proved popular with quite a few people, he did not have the momentum to convert that enthusiasm into votes and has ultimately come up short. Now the Democratic Party has put the bite on Sanders to get in line and drop out, though he doesn’t seem to be backing out of the race anytime soon and has sworn to fight on to the very last vote.

Doing so might be good…for Trump. Sanders’ continued resistance to the Democratic Party’s railroading of Hillary has created tension, and Hillary has not done an admirable job in shutting down the self-styled Democratic Socialist. In the (probably unlikely) event that Sanders decides to ditch the Democrats and go back to his independent roots, it could draw enough votes away from Hillary that Trump can pull ahead and win. I still don’t want Trump to win, as at this point it’s gone beyond his policies to the fact that I just don’t like him as a person. A contentious Democratic Party adds just one more fracture to the already cracked American society, a fracture that we really don’t need right now.

And that’s all we’re really going to get for the next six months; Trump, Clinton, and/or Sanders will continue to fight one another, trading barbs and attacks that drift from reasonable concerns to just petty name calling. Democrats and Republicans will lose any sense of civility and just call the other ignorant idiots instead of debating and understanding their differences like civilized people. Then once the dust settles and a winner is crowned, we’ll all realize we voted for an idiot. But it’s too late for us to turn back.

So, you can already tell that I am not looking forward to this particular election. And to think I was so enthusiastic about it a few months ago…But I am still going to vote, though.
