Third party is wasted vote

On Nov. 8, citizens all across the U.S. will go out to vote to elect a new president. For many, the topic of conversation is: I don’t want either candidate, Clinton or Trump.

But the reality is one of them will be elected. For those who are thinking about voting for a third party, if you really don’t want Clinton or Trump, by voting third party you are not going to help the situation. Because there is no way a third party could be elected.

So, you really need to ask yourself which one you could live with – and vote for that candidate.

If you listen to Clinton and Trump, Clinton is talking about the issues at hand. On the other hand, Trump is spending his time bashing Clinton. He is not giving any specific details of what he would do. In reality, he does not know what he is doing.

As we go through the next few months, your vote will affect this country for the next four years. It’s one thing to think it will be good to have a Republican in the White House, but you need to look beyond the first day and ask, what good will he do to help the country along? Take these next few months to listen and make your choice on who will make a difference.
