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?

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
