We deserve better than either candidate

Posted August 04, 2016 1:00 am

The 2016 presidential election is arguably featuring two of the worst candidates in the history of our country. That's great for the establishment, not so much for the average American.

Even though the media portrays the candidates as being polar opposites, sadly, they are very much the same. They are both puppets of the powers-that-be and neither will do anything to change the status quo.

Sorry, Trump supporters, Donald is not an outsider. They are both extremely out of touch with the people that make up the true America. They are both arrogant, selfish, greedy and dishonest (great presidential qualities that our children can model). Last but not least, they are both incredibly divisive, Does anyone really believe either of them could unify our country?

The establishment has exactly what it wants - a win-win situation. Division is what keeps them in power. These two candidates will undoubtedly guarantee that.

Hardworking people have made America the greatest nation on earth. Clinton or Trump? We deserve so much better.
