Election time.

Those words probably make some of you nervous. Some of you excited. Some of you regretful. Some of you joyous with the power of a thousand suns.

We often see on social media and in the news that “most” Americans do not like Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, but yet here we are with them backed by billions of dollars and millions of Americans.

So I’m forced to ask then, are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump accurate representations of The United States?

We’ve all seen the radical Trump followers who chant “build a wall”, and the Clinton followers that just “want to see a woman in office”, both of which are frighting as a voting taxpayer, but maybe this really is our country, and we are just denying it?

I can see Trump and Clinton everywhere, and as much as so many Americans show distaste, what are we doing about it? The most common response is simply “I just won’t vote.”

If nearly half of the U.S. does not vote, then are Clinton and Trump the result of years of political apathy? How did we get to this point where our two “best” candidates are corrupt ego maniacs? If more people cared, maybe our candidates would as well?

Perhaps our distaste of them comes from the distaste of ourselves. We complain about our communities and our country while we sit on our butts eating cheetos in front of our endless screens judging the world from our personal thrones.

At least, thats what I do.

The office of the President is meant to be that of a public servant. Do you believe that Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton want to serve you? That they want to put their interests aside and fight for the American people?

Do you fight for the American people?

You decide this November. All I ask is that you research all candidates, and vote for the one you truly believe in. Its our civic duty!
