My goodness, you have a country on the precipice of a fascist dictatorship, and anybody actually arguing over this once donald trump to overthrow our government seriously. Trump rapes young girls. Get over yourselves you're not going to have a perfect candidate. You people objecting are the reason why trump got in and bush got in because of objections over palestine voting for jill stein voting for ralph nader for whatever reason.
