According to many, this Presidential Election is like no other election. With ISIS, a civil war in Syria, rising tensions with Russia, racial tensions, the national debt, immigration, and the environment playing a serious role in this election, many people believe that this may be the most important election ever. However, both candidates have historically low approval ratings. According to Morning Consult, 56% of voters view Clinton unfavorably and 58% of voters view Donald Trump unfavorably. The Morning Consult also reported that 23% of voters view both candidates unfavorably, making these candidates the most unpopular in modern history. As a member of the 23%, I do not support Trump, however I definitely do not support Hillary Clinton. Here are six reasons why:

1. She Consistently Lies — According to PolitiFact, most politicians they reviewed lie about 21% of the time, causing 81% of the population to claim they don’t trust the government. Hillary Clinton lied about 32% of her political career. Although significantly less than Trump, this number is still very discouraging. She lied about important things and unimportant things. She lied about how she got her name, she lied that she was under sniper fire in Bosnia, she lied about her emails, she lied about being in debt, she lied about her ancestors, she lied about trying to join the Marines, and she lied about what happened in Benghazi.

2. Her Blind Support for Saudi Arabia and Israel — Throughout her political career, Hillary Clinton has supported both Saudi Arabia and Israel. Both are nations being condemned by the United Nations and the International community. Supporting Saudi Arabia goes against everything she claims she believes in. One of her greatest appeals, according to her supporters, is that she fought and will continue to fight for women’s rights. However, she strongly supports Saudi Arabia, the only nation that bans women from driving, requires women to have a male guardian, and fails to ensure and protect the few rights that Saudi women do have. Saudi Arabia also has a horrendous human rights record and are intolerant of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders and Clinton vows to be a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. However, it is no surprise that she supports Saudi Arabia. Saudis and Qataris fund approximately 20% of Hillary’s campaign. Another nation with questionable activities that Clinton blindly supports is Israel. During the 51 day Israel-Gaza conflict in 2014, most nations condemned Israel due to a perceived disproportionate response that resulted in the death of approximately, according to the UN, 2,150 Gazans including about 1,450 civilians. Of the 1,450 civilians, the OCHA claims that 551 of those were children. While most of the world condemned Israel, Clinton continued to openly support Israel. In a leaked letter, Clinton tells Haim Saban, a donor to the Democratic Party, that “As president, [she] will give the Jewish state all the necessary military, diplomatic, economic and moral support it needs to truly vanquish Hamas – and if that means killing 200,000 Gazans, then so be it”. That is a comment I cannot ever look past.

3. The Emails — As I’m sure, you all have heard of Hillary Clinton and her emails. In case you are living under a rock I will fill you in on what is happening. In 2015, it became publicly known that Hillary Clinton was receiving emails on a private server, Microsoft Exchange, in her house rather than one with a government server. State Department policy is that all operations must take place on the official State Department channel. And if she did want to set up a private server, she would have needed to ask for permission, which the State Department Inspector General says they would have never approved, and demonstrate that is was secure. Before 2009, Microsoft Exchange server was not secured with a TLS certificate, meaning that the emails were not encrypted, which made her more vulnerable to being hacked. Although Clinton repeatedly denies that any of the emails contained sensitive material, the FBI claims that there was classified information and they were at risk for being exposed. Another bad this is that governmental agencies cannot access these documents. During Benghazi investigation, the House Select Committee on Benghazi asked to see the emails. Then Clinton’s lawyers went through the emails and turned in about 30,000 emails. Then they deleted the other 33,000 emails that they claim were personal matters. Although this is not illegal, since it was not subpoenaed, it is very sneaky and seems like she is trying to hide something. If she was using a governmental server; the House Select Committee on Benghazi would be able to access these emails.

4.Benghazi — In February of 2012, a revolution started in Libya. Rather than stay neutral, the Obama administration decided to get involved and chose sides. Obviously, that made people angry with the Americans and that caused tension between the Libyans who supported Gaddafi and the Americans. Not to mention the already al-Qaeda presence. In April, former security guards threw an IED over the wall and into the US consulate compound and luckily no one was killed. In June, another group detonated a bomb outside the consulate which blew a hole in the wall. On top of that, there were attacks on British and Tunisian officials. According to CNN, the Regional Security Officer reported that there were 50 security incidents in Benghazi between June 2011 and July 2012. It is beyond me why Americans were not removed from Benghazi or additional security forces were deployed. In July, ambassador Stevens requested an additional 13 officers but his request was denied. According to Fox, in August the amount of security forces in Tripoli was reduced from 34 to 6. That meant that not there was no surplus of officers to travel to Benghazi. Then in September, the US consulate was attacked and 4 Americans were dead. During the investigation, the House Select Committee on Benghazi asked to see her emails. As I stated before, Clinton’s lawyers went through the emails and turned in about 30,000 emails. Then they deleted the other 33,000 emails that they claim were personal matters. That leads me, and many others, to believe she had knowledge about the security concerns or that is hiding something. Also, US law says that all U.S. government personnel assigned to a diplomatic post abroad must be at the same place unless there is a waiver. That waiver can only be approved by the Secretary of State. In her trial, Clinton claimed that she gave this responsibility to others and said that this “was not her ball to carry”.

5. Corruption — Since 2001, Clinton has been making speeches for huge corporations for a lot of money. Hillary Clinton was paid $225,000 per hour to deliver a speech at Goldman Sachs. In my opinion, and many other people’s opinions, there is no speech worth $225,000. Although other politicians charged higher for speeches, they did not do it while they were in office. I believe, along with a lot of other people, that receiving money from these giant corporations will influence her policies. Many people believe that the Clinton Foundation is corrupt and recent reports support that claim. The Clinton Foundation receives donations from people, companies, and governments around the world. While Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, she made a promise to disclose donations. The New York Times reported that the chairman of Uranium One, a Russian state-owned company, made several donations to the Clinton Foundation. While Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, she approved a deal to sell American uranium to them. However, this donor was never published. Although it is almost impossible to prove that the donation influenced her decision to approve the deal, it does raise a lot of suspicion. The Clinton Foundation was also receiving donations from foreign governments when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. According to Politifact, foreign governments donated $17.8 Million between 2010 and 2013. Although Hillary Clinton was not on the board of the Clinton Foundation, it does not seem ethical for foreign governments to donate to an organization that is closely tied with a politician, especially the Secretary of State.

6. I will not be 18 by November 8th — Although whoever is president will have an impact on my life, I am not allowed to vote. Even though I will turn 18 during their presidency, start paying federal taxes, and according to Forbes, just by knowing the three branches of government, I know more than 34% of American voters.
