I am writing this post to present a little clarity on my views during this Presidential Election.
This has been a truly historic cycle of events. We have a completely unqualified Republican candidate who entered this race with a 1% chance of winning the Republican nomination. His campaign has brought record numbers of newly registered voters into the political process. Running on no platform at all except not being a political insider. One who bowed to party pressure before the GOP convention so that he could receive financial support from the RNC for the general election. Picking a vice presidential candidate who by any judge of human rights is a total failure. Trump has also agreed to represent a GOP party platform that specifically calls for supreme court appointments and reversal on hard fought for and earned civil rights in this country. Recently he has appointed a new spokeswoman who has openly campaigned against LGBT rights. Worst of all. He has become a total media maniac. They hang on his every word and report about what he says every minute of the day. I originally hoped that after the GOP convention he would show some human character traits and not continue to behave like a schoolyard bully who desperately needs to have the living shit kicked out of him. I dont know any household in the United States where anyone would be allowed to behave the way he does. Frankly its time somebody put a boot in his ass and their fist in his mouth and taught his some manners.
On the Democratic side we have had history making events as well. The First Woman nominated to a major political party. Also from one of the most political corrupt families in recent U.S. history. From her involvement in the Whitewater real estate scheme, The White house travel and transportation debacle, He daughter is married to the son whose father is serving 80 plus years in prison for one of the worlds largest ponzi schemes. Her newly appointed campaign manager, who also handled her first presidential bid, is implicated in the current DNC e mail hacking scandel. To her vice presidential pick who was in charge of the DNC is a devout christian who is just as bad in his own way as Mike Pence. He will give you all the rights you think you deserve all the while taking your money and giving it to those he feels are less fortunate than you, Clinton had to battle a self admitted Socialist who also brought millions of new voters to the election scene who have never voted before. Also selling out at the last minute to try and unify the party so that Trump could be defeated. Lets not even take the time to discuss the fact that she has taken money from foreign governments, and superpacs that are funded by countries that continue to brutally kill and oppress women, LGBT, and Religious minorities.
Everything about this election is purely politics as usual. The American public is getting screwed while the two major political parties ignore what the voters are telling them. This election is strictly about those old political parties fighting for their own agendas at the cost of the American public.
The LGBT community and the minorities believe that Trump is the Devil and Clinton is their savior. The scary thing is Trump doesnt care what people think, and Clinton will tell you anything as long as she wins your vote and the American people are too stupid or too lazy to see the obvious evidence that is right in front of their eyes.
What is very true about this election is that it will have historic importance on the make up of the Supreme Court of the future. The Supreme Court is in place to without bias interpret the laws as they are written and apply those laws without bias when cases are brought before them. Something that they find increasingly hard to do. There is already one empty seat and Judge Ginsberg cannot live forever. So the next elected President could very well appoint two Supreme Court justices that will shape the laws of this country for years to come. This is were the serious issue lie. I believe that both Trump and Hillary have shown evidence of the ability to be bought for the right amount of money as long as it helps them achieve their personal goals and agendas.
Unlike most Americans today. I am not happy with the way our country is headed and I think vast reforms are needed. I am not happy with the status quo, or the choices that are being forced upon us. When I post videos in support of equal rights for the LGBT community it is because that is one of the issues that concerns me. Trust me I am not supporting Clinton in any way. I also cannot bring myself to vote for Trump, a man who has openly sold out to the far right in charge of the Republican party. I will vote for the third party candidate Johnson. You may think it is a waste of a vote, but I choose to view it as a statement of how unhappy I am with this country and our two political parties in charge. If enough people vote maybe the powers that be will see that a vast number of Americans are not happy with the way things have been handled.
I assure you the platform that the far religious right has pushed through at the RNC, is just the beginning. They will push harder and spend money like they are printing it if Clinton is elected. We need to fight for equal rights, banking reform, manufacturing jobs,a fair health care system, fair tax laws, and fixing our educations system which is broken from top to bottom.
