Why I Can't Vote For Donald Trump

I can not stand both candidates but I can not stand Trump more.

Why I Can't Vote For Donald Trump
www.ibtimes.co.uk

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Both names send shivers down my spine and make me cringe instantly. I can not see myself fully respecting or liking either candidate. This election in my eyes, has people voting on who they think will f**k up our country less. Taking all into consideration, I just simply could never see myself ever voting for someone like Donald Trump.

Now I’m not here to tell you that you shouldn’t vote for him, because I DO respect everyone’s political opinion, but I am here to question why? I understand that both candidates have faults, and that Hilary Clinton is not the most respectable and trustworthy person based off what has occurred, but how could you see Donald Trump as a president? I have a hard time wrapping my mind around the concept of this man running our country, and being able to take him seriously.

I can not vote for someone who talks about women in the most disgusting, inappropriate, and disrespectful ways. Him saying that if you don’t have big boobs then you can’t be attractive allows society to continue oversexualizing women. Blatantly bragging about sexually assaulting women allows for men to see rape as okay.

I can not vote for someone who makes fun of people for their disabilities. Or tells the terminally ill to “hang in there” until election day.

I can not vote for someone who has little to no experience in politics and is unpredictable in every aspect.

I can not vote for someone who disrespects people’s race or religions. That sets our country’s progress back years.

I can not vote for someone who rips off small business owners as well as citizens of the United States with his fake university.

I can not vote for someone who is hot headed with a bad temperament. How do you think he is going to act in tough situations with other countries?

I can not vote for someone who at rallies tells his supporters to “punch” protestors in the face.

I can not vote for someone who questions why the United States can not use nuclear weapons. And clearly can not be trusted with them.

I can not vote for someone who wants to punish women for abortions.

I can not vote for someone who wants to ban an entire religion from entering the United States.

I can not vote for someone who blames immigrants on the rape of our “women and children.” When in fact many studies show that there is no correlation between immigrants and crime.

I can not vote for someone who talks about illegal immigrants taking all our jobs when he in fact used them to build his establishments.

I can not vote for someone who suggests “second amendment people” to act against Clinton.

I can not vote for someone who makes me fear about my future as well the next generation’s future.

Once again, I am not telling you who to vote for. I am simply questioning, based off these statements and many other reasons, why?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
