If the race comes down to Hillary vs The Donald, who would you vote for?
attaching poll
Setting aside the fact that I don't vote for several reasons, the most prominent being that I don't feel it proper when I don't live in the country anymore...
Neither.
While Trump is outrightly, obviously, far-and-away the more repulsive candidate to me, the reality is this.
Voting for Hillary is voting for things to stay the same. While Hillary herself is relatively mundane as American politicians go, that is one of the highest insults that can be paid to a person.
Trump is disgusting in an obvious sort of way. He just comes across as a genuinely ignorant and terrible human being.
But how much do Hillary's better manners actually matter? She's owned by people who don't represent most Americans, and she'll gladly throw most Americans under the bus to get herself some perks.
A vote for Trump is a vote for chaos -- at least to whatever extent it matters, since the president has much less impact than most people think.
But voting for Hillary is voting for the continued degradation of the American people's well-being, in the same way it has been for the last several decades. It's been a grinding, depressing slide to watch.
Which is worse?
I can't possibly decide.
And however disgusting Trump is, there is some small part of me that wonders if perhaps it's better for him to throw America into chaos than it is for Hillary to keep on keepin' on, like slowly boiling a frog in a pot. Most people don't seem to notice that they're cooking.
But with whatever chaos Trump would bring... perhaps if that happened, people would wake up. It'd be a horrible 4 years, and probably a horrible decade or two later. But sometimes you need to rip it off like a bandaid.
Yeah. I've gotten to
that point.
Of course, I could also be wrong. Perhaps Trump-induced chaos would change nothing. And if he gets elected, causes chaos, and no one responds, I will be so depressed at what has happened to my country that I will swear off American news to whatever extent I can. I can't take it anymore.
I don't know, man. I just know it can't go on like this forever.
