Who would you rather vote for: A Giant Douche? Or a Turd Sandwich?

Although a South Park reference, this hyperbole rings true in romanticising the vulgarity of this election season. Between the raunchy poster boy for the alt-right and the blue devil herself, we cannot decide who is worse. This is why we refuse to endorse either candidate this election year.

Hillary Clinton has proven herself to be unreliable. She has made it clear that she will voice whatever opinion will get her what she wants, and what she wants right now is the presidency.

As she continues her campaign against Donald Trump, she has been preaching about climate change and how we as a world have to learn to rely on green energy. Yet when faced with the decision to pass the proposal of the Dakota Access Pipeline, which is the largest environmental concern in the U.S. as of late, she was in total support of the fossil fuel industry.

At first we thought this wishy-washy nature of hers could be from her learning new information, but when you look at the facts it’s clear it’s just her doing whatever she can to get what she wants.

According to Greenpeace, “Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Super PAC supporting her have received more than $6.9 million from the fossil fuel industry.” When she needed big business funders she wasn’t afraid to appease these oil giants. However, now that she and Trump are getting closer to the election, her best bet at winning is swinging the millennial voters. It’s no secret that one of the issues we millennials care about most is climate change, because we will be the people who have to fight it most.

So here she is, hypocritically preaching in her debates and speeches that climate change is a beast that we all have to tackle together, when some of the biggest causes of climate change are the reason she’s able to stand at that podium in the first place.

Unfortunately, her running mate is no better. Trump has proven himself to be unapologetically racist, sexist and xenophobic. His questionable past and plans of the future make it clear to us that he is amazingly unfit for the presidential office.

Trump often boasts that he wants to run America like he would a business, with little outside influence and a focus on internal affairs. He uses his net worth as a marker of his preparedness for office. However, we believe the best qualification is one of political experience.

Gautam Mukunda, a professor at Harvard Business School, explained in an interview with the Huffington Post, “[Business] Skills are far less transferable than we think they are. Even when you move from one company to another, you may not be successful. When you move from a company to the government, that’s a larger leap.”

While success in business is no easy feat, it takes a certain set of skills that aren’t always cut out for other positions, even those in other fields of business. Assuming that Trump’s 31 years of success (the amount of time he has been successful without the aid of his father) would be equivalent to that of someone who’s been successful in politics is naive. Yet it’s a thought process we have been seeing in a large amount of Trump supporters.

Our issue isn’t just with the candidates, but also with the counter culture surrounding each campaign. Both sides of our political infrastructure have morphed campaign rhetoric into hate speech. This dangerous game only serves to separate, divide and devour our society into an abyss of discontent.

People no longer take serious time to learn about their potential candidates. They listen to biased media blindly without forming their own opinions. People should not rely on any one media source, including us, for all their facts. No matter how these publications and news shows try, there will always be a spin.

That being said, that’s not entirely the people’s fault. For many people, mainstream media is their only source of information. It should be their job to share all information about both candidates. We’ve noticed that most right-wing biased stations and papers have focused on Clinton scandals while generally avoiding discussion of Trump, while left-wing media does exactly the opposite. By doing so, they’ve let the country down.

We believe the entire election process has been poorly handled, and we hold the country accountable. By not endorsing a major party candidate, we are actively not condoning the behavior that has come with the election. We refuse to play into our outdated system.
