When the final two candidates for the next election period were announced, my reaction was something along the lines of “Well… there is no way on God’s green Earth that I am voting for Hillary.” I would've had the same reaction if Bernie was the Democratic candidate. A millennial not voting for Bernie? I know, I know. How about we just move on. Fortunately, we live in a country where we are blessed enough to chose who we want to vote for; however, I decided that if Hillary was the only candidate that I could vote for, these are the things that I would rather do in place of giving her a vote.

- Shave my eyebrows.

- Go to Wal-Mart on Black Friday.
- Go to Target on Black Friday.

- Vote for Trump.
Sure, some of these options are pretty out there, but what it comes down to is I don’t want to give my vote to someone who should be considered a criminal. I am not saying that Trump is someone I want to vote for, but he is sure better than Hillary in my mind.
Last thing: If you don’t vote, you don’t have the right to complain because you did nothing to try and change the outcome of the election. Even voting for a third party candidate is still better than not voting at all.
