As an 18 year old, this election isn't my idea "first time voting" scenario. I will start off by warning my readers; i do not know the most about politics, but i still have my opinions. At this point i really am starting to believe that Canada is our only option.
Let me start off by giving you my opinion on Donald Trump. I do not agree with his beliefs, his mouth, or his treatment toward women, but c'mon guys... at least his name doesn't start with H and end in illiary. Also, people claim to hate the things he says but have they heard the music of today's time? DO NOT get me wrong, i do not think Mr. Trump should speak that way, especially considering he's running for office, but the things he says aren't necessarily unheard of in todays society.
Next we have Hillary Clinton. I do not have an ounce of anything in my body that would push me to vote for her. I am all for women empowerment, but when it comes to a women who acts the way she acts, i do not want any part of it. Who in their right mind deletes emails? I do not know what those emails consisted of, but if it is bad enough to delete them, there is no telling what secrets were imbedded in that computer screen.
Some people believe that if you're voting third part you are "throwing away your vote". I personally have two opinions on that matter.
1. I do not think we should completely knock out third party considering our other choices of candidates. If you're like me and don't want either Trump or Clinton, you've looked into all your other choices.
2. Do we really have that much say in who gets elected? Honestly. Yes our votes count and it is our right as American citizens to vote. BUT at the end of the day, there are certain high and mighty people who will get whoever they want in the office because they have that authority and $$$$$.
After it is all said and done, if we get a president who isn't doing his/her duty and things go south? I have a strange feeling that Canada will be getting a lot of new residents. They're so peaceful and polite..but they don't have the potential leaders that we do, so who could blame em, eh?
