Trump or Hillary for President? More like who even cares! I can proudly say that, in this election, I am not voting for the President of the United States. There are many reasons that come into play when I make that statement and honestly the main reason is I know nothing about politics and how things work... I’ve had many people shame me for making this choice, but I think it's the best option.
I’m 20 years young and it’s been two years since I’ve been able to register myself to vote, and to this day I still haven’t and will continue not to. In my personal opinion, why does my vote even matter? No matter who I vote for, our country is going down hill. No, I don’t spend my free time reading up on how the election is going and honestly why would I? Trump and Hillary have done nothing but make fools out of themselves in front of everyone. Do you really think one of these two are going to make a change?
When I think of someone who would be a great candidate I think of someone who really wants to make a difference. This person would be someone who wants to help all social classes, not just the lower and middle classes, to gain votes. This person would be honest, open minded and charismatic. They would want the input from the people to hear our real honest thoughts. They would work with our enemies and try to make them become our allies. They would notice the violence and want to make a change to help save the lives of our people. They wouldn’t degrade others of a different race, gender, or personal love choices because they don’t like them. They would make ethical choices when they are deciding something. I know this is a lot, but really take a second to think about those qualities.
I’ve thought over and over again why I don’t want to vote… Each time I find myself getting scared, scared of what is going to happen to our country. Neither of these candidates give me an at ease feeling. Hillary deletes government emails, and Trump degrades everyone who isn’t white, American, and heterosexual. They fight over Twitter looking like young teens. It’s embarrassing. I don’t think I’m alone when I say I’m tired of hearing about these two. Do you really want one of these people to run our country? I know I don’t.
Again, many of you may say I’m wrong for making the choice that I have, but I still haven’t been given a good enough reason who I should vote for or why. Don’t shame us young people or anyone who doesn’t want to vote for that reason. This elections is scary… Our world is going to change and not change for the good at this rate… I know this for a fact, if I don’t vote I can’t complain, I am well aware. Until then I will give my thoughts. I think we should all vote Ellen Degeneres for President because who doesn’t love Ellen?
