This years election is a circus parade. For the last year or so, we've watched candidates pledge to "make America great again," call one another names, and make fun of each other's appearances. It's been terrible. Here's a list of 10 things that have happened in this election that should make you worried about the state of our government.

1. Donald Trump making sure everyone knows his hands aren't small.

2. Hillary Clinton repeating Bernie Sanders nearly verbatim.

3. Donald Trump's obsession with building walls.

4. "Birdie" Sanders.

5. Ted Cruz being the most awkward human ever.

6. Ted Cruz vs Donald Trump: epic rivalry.

7. Jeb Bush.... poor Jeb Bush.

8. Hillary Clinton pretending she doesn't receive money from banks and corporate America.

9. Hillary being investigated for sending confidential, government emails.

10. Bernie Sanders' campaign is proof you have to buy your way through an election (which he refused to do).

This election as shown the horrors of the election system, from campaigning to voting and everything in between. My advice for those eligible to vote in the upcoming election is to do research, don't listen to everyone else's opinions, find a candidate who best fits your beliefs and stand behind them, and most importantly, VOTE. Get your voice heard. No matter what side you're on, have a say in what happens in this country.
