Don't you get it? They're both old ugly women in a position of power. That's some biting satire, right there...

Don't let people bully you into voting for Clinton or Trump if you don't like either of them. If there is a candidate in your area who you think would do a better job, vote for them. Or write someone in.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
