Rear Admiral Burd here. And if you wonder why 'Rear Admiral', you must be new here!

I don't make journals often.
I don't like telling people what to do.
In this case, I feel it must be done, even if what I'm gonna say is going to upset people, because frankly, in this situation, fuck your feelings.
Do. Not. Vote. Clinton.
Whatever you do. Don't vote for Clinton.
I'm gonna say it a third time: Please, please, please don't vote Clinton.
Ignoring the gigantic, mountainous piles of evidence stacked against her for a dozen different federal offences, all of which would make her ineligible for the office of president.
Ignoring the fact that she's very, very clearly NOT of sound enough health to become president.
Hillary Clinton actively wants to start World War Three. I'm not kidding. Why?
Hillary Clinton wants to establish a no-fly zone over Syria.
Currently, Russian aircraft operate over Syria, in support of the Syrian government.
That means that, to enforce said no-fly zone, US forces would have to start shooting down Russian aircraft.
The United States would have to commit acts of war (and a war of aggression, as the US would be the ones firing the first shots, meaning NATO wouldn't be required to help the US out) against the Russian Federation in order to establish a useless no-fly zone.
Yes, Donald Trump is a gigantic orange gorilla with no filter between his mouth and his brain. I hate the guy as much as the next person.
But at least he's not openly and publicly advocating the start of a war between the two most powerful countries in the world.

First Past The Post voting, as used in the US and UK -inevitably- results in a two-party system.
Voting third-party also doesn't work, because no matter what said third-party is, they will draw votes away from whichever party they're closer to, and through that, guarantee a win for the party they're further from.
The reason the Brexit referendum happened was because the Tories courted a lot of potential UKIP voters by saying they'd hold the referendum.
This kind of shit that happens 11 days before an election is a joke, it should not have happened. And the medias should not be able to freely discuss about politics and influence people so close to official elections. Bernie would have probably won if the medias had been fair with him. This country is not a democracy and therefore these elections don't mean anything, since they do not represent anyone.
You also gotta realize something, your hate against her is hugely influenced by everything that was leaked public, a part of it hasn't even been proved yet. The very reason we know about it is because we live in this time, no doubt it happened before too. A lot, even, there was just no wikileak or other unfederated site to try to mess up with official elections.
No doubt it will happen with Trump too, let's not forget he's also hiding his own finances, maybe he's just lucky that hasnt been leaked as well.
Back to what you said, It's basically saying don't vote for a fool and let the asshole win. Well, I prefer a corrupted fool than an unstable asshole who does his best to talk shit about his allies (I did not forget the "It would not have happened in France/Belgium if I was..." right after the attacks)
She's a fool, yes, but at least people know what to expect from her, since you know, she's had access to power. Nothing good yes, but you gotta realize, the whole world in general is against Trump. Getting a bully as president won't only mean trouble within the US, people are gonna hate you and laugh at you from electing someone that showed so many times he should never be president. I know a lot of people in the US almost forgets that there's a world around them, but it's really important to maintain a certain image of decency, which you had with Obama and will lose with a Trump as president.
The right call would be new elections, and have the two clowns as far from power as possible, and get some decent people running.
This entire journal post was based on the following things:
She ran a private e-mail server, already a crime, irrespective of the contents of the e-mails.
She deleted e-mails with federal correspondence in them, already a crime.
She's had a bloodclot in the brain resulting in double-vision, seizures, extreme tiredness and a case of either flat out memory-loss, or making-up facts to fill in the gaps of the specifics of her memory.
She's publicly admitted to wanting a no-fly zone over Syria, which will inevitably result in war with Russia.
