While I do not agree with the notion that HRC and Trump are the same, I do aknowlege that they both carry considerable baggage that influences my decision to vote for either. In Trump's case he is without a doubt unqualified for the job, has anger management isssues, and is a Republican, so it's a no brainer that he will not get my vote. HRC is a little more problematic. I cast my first vote for President with Jimmy Carter while I was serving in the US Army, and have voted straight Democratic in every election since, and 2016 will be no exceprion. Unfortunately my vote in this election will bring me no joy, and precious little hope for much change in the direction our nation is moving. HRC represents much of what is wrong with our political process and does not inspire me with confidence that she'll work to correct those problems. So yeah, I will do my duty as a Democrat and vote for Clinton in November, but for the first time in my political life I will not enjoy the experience.
