Isn’t it odd that, even though I hate my depression I love it at the same time because it’s comforting. I love being skinny and the sacrifices I take to stay that way is pathetic but I can’t find myself regretting why I am this way. The fact that no matter how much I want to change I find myself yearning to keep my demons alongside me because they are there when nobody else is. I find myself looking in the mirror and wondering why I have to be this way but yet again there is nobody else like me and nobody else thinks like me and even though I scream into my pillow breaking down when nobody else is around, I keep quiet in the company of others because why would I want them to feel the way I do. I beg for a different life and it never happens and I try to change it but then end up again in the same patterns. I love with all of my heart but I find myself second guessing that because I am no where NEAR a work of art and find myself tearing the others around me down without intention. I’m meant to be alone and pushed aside because love is fragile and beautiful and I am undeserving of such beauty. I’m meant to be this way, filled with depression, anxiety, borderline lies that fill me with comfort even though i know I am not meant to be this way. But I can’t even stress who I’m meant to be because I have no clue, I switch between personality and fathom at the thought of normality but that will never be me.

Look at me. Look me in the eye. On November the 8th, 2016, one of two things will happen: Hillary Clinton will become president, or Donald Trump will become president. These are the only two possibilities. The superdelegates aren’t going to switch. An indictment isn’t coming. There is no third possibility. There is no space between the spaces where you can hide. Every vote for Donald Trump requires two Hilary Clinton votes to overcome. A Hillary Clinton vote can only be overcome by two Donald Trump votes. If you stay home, a Donald Trump vote doubles its power. This is the real, actual reality of the situation. There is not one other option.
And there’s no ctrl-alt-del for the election. Read up on 2000 if you doubt this.
And to those of us who supported Bernie, he WANTS you to vote for Hillary. If you believe in him and his mission you will follow his advice. He knows that writing his name in, or voting for anyone else besides Clinton, is effectively voting for Trump.
Refusing to vote for Hillary is a vote for Trump, no matter how much you scream and say how it’s not. And if you’re standing by to do nothing in regards to taking down Trump, then you ARE grouped along with the rest of the people in this country that ruin things for everybody else.
No, seriously, go read about the presidential election in 2000.
If you weren’t old enough to remember and/or understand the ramifications of the 2000 election, I WILL TELL YOU.
Do not let Trump win. Please. I beg you. I went to grad school with people who voted for Nader in 2000 and my FB feed is full of them begging others not to make the same mistake they did. Bernie has his priorities straight, and the priority is stopping Trump.
And if that doesn’t do it for you, this is the Republican platform 2016. It calls for:
- Conversion therapy for queer kids. Let me repeat that. CONVERSION THERAPY FOR QUEER KIDS. Some members of the RNC even wanted to endorse it more explicitly than they did.
- Zealous opposition to same-sex marriage. Here’s the quote: “Our laws and our government’s regulations should recognize marriage as the union of one man and one woman and actively promote married family life as the basis of a stable and prosperous society. For that reason, as explained elsewhere In this platform, we do not accept the Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage and we urge its reversal, whether through judicial reconsideration or a constitutional amendment returning control over marriage to the States.”
- Reversing the Obama administration’s order to grant trans students access to restrooms, locker rooms, etc. The Republicans feel that such things should be based on biological gender, not gender identity.
- Treating internet porn as “a public health crisis.” Quote: “Pornography, with his harmful effects, especially on children, has become a public health crisis that is destroying the life of millions. We encourage states to continue to fight this public menace and pledge our commitment to children’s safety and wellbeing[.]”
- Gender discrimination. To quote Time magazine: “[T]he platform committee voted against including the word “gender” in a list of types of discrimination that should be opposed. On Tuesday, one member described the attempt to add that word to a list including qualities like race, sex and creed as a “sneak attack.”
- Repeal of the Johnson Amendment. The Johnson Amendment currently prevents churches and other tax-exempt organizations from organizing politically, endorsing political candidates, etc. Repealing it would throw separation of church and state out the window…not to mention that it would give evangelical churches and televangelist organizations much more power, driving the country further to the right.
If you vote for Trump, these are some of the planks of the platform you’re voting for.
Vote, vote, VOTE!
Seriously though, guys. If you thought the Bush administration was a nightmare, it’ll be nothing compared to a Trump presidency. While Hillary isn’t Bernie, she does support several political points that we need. While she doesn’t believe in making college tuition free, she does care about lowering it significantly to make it affordable.. She cares about keeping Planned Parenthood clinics open, which by extension means she cares about your rights to bodily autonomy. She has no plans on repealing on the Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling. Her plans for the presidency aren’t as good as what we’d hoped for under Bernie, but she’s a far better option than Trump.
And I know how much it sucks that our current system works the way it does, but there is no alternative. There has never once been a 3rd party candidate who won, and if you think we could change that this year and make history, you’re wrong. It would only be a repeat of the 2000 election. If you want to prevent Donald Trump from ever sitting in the oval office, you gotta play the game.
