A terrible choice
We are faced with a terrible choice in this year’s election. On the one hand we have a career politician, Hillary Clinton, who has been accused by political opponents of making corrupt deals, which has never been proven, attacking her husband’s mistresses (I’m shocked), and meeting with foreign countries as Secretary of State. She was quizzed for 11 hours by a committee called up for the expressed purpose of discrediting her politically. She has repeatedly been called a liar, because she refused to confess to the crimes she was accused of, even though nothing was ever proven. Back in the good old days in Salem, the accused could get a quick death if she confessed, otherwise she would be burned at the stake, and you never even had to prove anything. On the other hand, we have Donald Trump. He is a “successful” businessman who bankrupted six companies and lost almost a billion dollars as the house in a casino. He’s been sued 3,500 times by contractors, employees, partners, investors whom he cheated and victims of his scams. He was fined for using undocumented Polish workers to build Trump Tower, then sued by them when he refused to pay them. He’s making promises that the courts, the military and Congress won’t let him keep. He talks about bringing back jobs, but he has no logical plan to do this. He will cut taxes – for himself and people like him. There is no real third choice. If you don’t vote or throw your vote away on someone who has no chance, you don’t get to complain about whom you get.
