For goodness sake, STOP BASHING TRUMP! Okay, look, I know that many of us are or are not fans of the business man. To be frank, I'm not a fan of him, nor am I a fan of Hilary Clinton. To be honest, I'm really hoping there is a "I hate them all, reset the candidates" option on the ballot. Both candidates have more cons than pros. Clinton with her "can't trust", "email scandal", "corporation connections", and Benghazi involvement makes me wicked uncomfortable to have her as the Democratic Party's selection. Then of course, there is Donald Trump, whom I just can't stand.

But here's the thing, unfortunately there is no "reset" option on the ballot and this election I'm going to have to pick someone and pray that in the next four years they don't destroy the country and we get better candidates (sorry, Kanye, I'm just not feelin' you).
At this point, the Presidential election is not a "who are you voting for?" kind of thing, now it's a "who are you voting against" kind of thing (which is terrifying). There is no use in complaining about how on earth we got to this terrible position, instead we now have to deal with the candidates in front of us. Clinton or Trump?
Honestly I'm voting against Trump, I have watched this election listened to videos and speeches and policies from both sides of the coin and to me, Trump is the worst option for our country. He has made countless derogatory marks against current citizens of the United States, religions (Islam is a peaceful religion, ISIS is NOT Islam! It's kinda like the whole all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares), women, and races. He has been endorsed by enemies of the United States and what we stand for such as North Korea and Russia. Look I would love nothing more than for Trump to surprise and somehow become a wonderful President who truly cares for the people and can bring this country back to it's former glory but considering his track record in the public eye, and his actions when he knows he is being publicly scrutinized, I really doubt it.
Look I get it "He's not a politician who lies" "He tells it like it is" "He's a great business man". Okay so he's a change and we all really want a change in our politics. We're tired of candidates who say they will do things and then don't, or candidates who are funded by major corporations and don't look out for the little people, and Trump, well he's funded his own campaign.
But he has no interest in looking out for the "little guy", his catchphrase is "You're Fired", his businesses have failed epically (See: Trump Airlines, Vodka, Steaks... and more), and he's openly gone back and forth on policies (See: Ban on Muslims, Defeating ISIS, Taxes, Immigration... and more). He's just not a great guy to be deciding the entire country's fate.
In order to stop adding fuel to the fire that is Trump, stop positing about him. Ignore him, pretend he doesn't exist. Donald Trump lives off of the media attention he's getting. His fans are not going to listen to you when you try to explain the damage he might do. All these Sanders fans crashing Trump rallies are given them more reasons to vote for him. Stop giving them reasons to fight you and defend their choice. His voters have already made up their minds and by attacking their candidate, they're just going to fight you as a tiger would backed into a corner. It doesn't matter to them if he's done something wrong, they will only see what they want to see about him. At this point in the election, you're best bet is to just ignore him.
So please stop bashing Trump on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram. It's not helping, you are just making this worse. If you really don't want Trump to be President than vote! Don't sit there and say "I don't like either so I'm not voting", get off your butt, head down to the polls, and vote!
Then afterwards, together we'll hope enough of us voted, and hunker down for the next four years and wait for a better candidate to come along.
