If You Don’t Like Hillary or Don, You Have Other Options
This post is for anyone who has not cast his or her presidential ballot, and who are not willing to settle for putting “any old body” in the White House.
Weeks ago, I began “examining” the other candidates running for president, researching to see which political pair aligned with my desire not to throw up every day for the next four years in disgust (I felt like I slept walked through Bush II’s presidency, but damn if I don’t remember how he got there–Al Gore still looks like he hasn’t recovered from it).
So, if you care who will lead this country in less than two months, please do your own Google search on the following candidates:
For the Libertarian party, we have Gary Johnson. I think he’s a little “bomb-shelter” weird, but, hey, if that floats your boat….
For the Green party, we have Jill Stein; her running mate’s last name is Baraka (I don’t know if it was intentional or not), a Clark Atlanta University graduate, and has the term “radical” associated with him a lot. I don’t know if he’s related to literary great Amiri Baraka, but if he is . . . shit. They would indeed be a spectacular Oval office duo.
Then we have the Independent party candidate, Evan McMullin. McMullin has a “soccer mom” type running mate in Mindy Flinn. He’s 40, a Mormon, and a former CIA operative–doesn’t that sound like the premise for a good thriller–novel, small screen, or big screen? I call dibs!
So, there you have it folks. The anidotes to Hill and the “Trump.”
Now, go out there Tuesday and be a good citizen… VOTE. And remember, you can always “write in” your candidates.
Aww, democracy.
