My aunt posted something on Facebook, wondering if people really thought that their posts would change anybody's mind in the upcoming election.
And all the comments were like, no way. Some others were like you can't just vote against a person if you don't like the other.
And I'm like, God, I hope so. I hope that when someone posts a fact-filled article about either candidate or either party that you read it. That you read both biased and non-biased articles posted by your friends and family and that you take the time to both think about "your" candidate and the other candidate.
Because that is how our country is going to work best. If you keep an open mind. If you look at their policies, their party, and their actions and words. If you take in all the information possible and then, then you decide.
So for all those people who are talking about the lesser of two evils. Here's why my candidate is great. I'm going to vote for Hillary, because she has a plan. Because she fights for women's rights and the rights of children. Because she has proven diplomatic skills. Because she is poised and collected in the face of all that has been thrown at her.
The fact that her opponent is Donald Trump. Well, that's just icing on the cake.
The best coincidence? She's a woman. I am voting for a major candidate who is strong and is a woman. Nearly a hundred years after women fought for our rights and one of our candidates is a woman. A woman who has all the qualifications necessary.

It's not the lesser of two evils...
This election, it's about more than that. It's about a candidate who has the credentials that the electorate could only dream of. And a candidate who has had no political aspirations, beyond playing devil's advocate.
It's about a candidate who is cool and calm in the face of hatred and anger. It's about a candidate who throws tantrums anytime a negative thing is said about them.
It's about a candidate who focuses on hope and helping vs. a candidate who preys on your worst fears and focuses on deepening divides.
It's about a candidate endorsed by leadership and organizations from all over. It's about a candidate who is endorsed by hate group.
Forget for a moment that one is male and one is female. Look at the facts that matter: a candidate who was a senator and a Secretary of State, who helped revitalize the White House under two presidents, a successful lawyer for years, an advocate for children and adults alike. And then you have a candidate who considers 14 million dollars a series of small loans, who fought against Barack Obama for years after there was no doubt that he was an American citizen, who has filed for bankruptcy 6 times, who has gone bankrupt in multiple casinos, who would have more money if they invested it, who is proud that he has not paid taxes in years, who believes that transparency is not the best bet for the American people, who believes that violence is the way to end terrorism(nope, wrong answer, tried that in '03...and it worked out swell).
Here's the biggest flaw is voting for Trump, though. He's a businessman. First and foremost. He will not have your best interests in mind, because they won't be his. That's it. How can he be unbiased when he has millions tied up in trade abroad?
So, forget for a moment that Hillary is a woman. Forget that she is a she. Because her gender does not matter. What matters is the fact that Trump will not be for the common person (have a small loan anyone...).
He can't be, because he has never been one.
And I am proud to say that I am supporting Hillary. I am proud to say that in less than one week, I will cast my ballot for a candidate that I believe can run our country with poise and confidence. The fact that she is a woman, well, that's the cherry on top.
