When I first saw Carson on stage, I was like "Oh shit, he's a neurosurgeon or something. This'll be interesting."
And then I was conclusively proven wrong. Repeatedly.

My glutes are indeed of the highest quality.
Also, PMing shit all the stuff for staff testing is a pain in the ass. I should have put it all in a word .doc to make it easier to copy/paste. I hate bbcode.

You are very rude, yes.
I, on the other hand, am the height of gentlemanly behavior and chivalry.

Hillary being in office would be like Obama being in office: getting her shit pushed in by a GOP-controlled Congress.
I mean, I don't like her. She's also very dishonest in her campaign, and she's basically the same as Rubio (e.g. Establishment to the core).
On the other hand, she doesn't advocate torture or bombing civilians last I checked. She might change her tone if it's Clinton vs Trump at the end of the day.
I don't necessarily agree with Sanders on a lot of things. But I don't have to. Bad politics beats immorality every time. I would rather vote for a leader whose politics I disagree with than someone whom I find morally disgusting. I can abide poor politics. I cannot abide by torture, killing civilians, and stirring up hatred against people based on their religious beliefs. All of these are contrary to my core beliefs of what it means to be American. Shit, it goes against my beliefs of what it means to be a decent human being.

This bit here, it's almost a guarantee.
I wouldn't say it's a guarantee. It's a possibility, but that's not the issue.
The issue is that someone like Trump -- with all the incitement of hate, the calls for shit like torture and murdering civilians, the lies -- can garner so much support. It's immensely troubling to see.
I recently had a discussion with someone about this. He was previously a Trump supporter. Classic low-information conservative (and yes, before anyone complains: there is most certainly a liberal mirror) who believed all the shit you read on Facebook. You know what I had to correct him on? The fact that Nazi is shorthand for the German translation of National Socialist, after he posted an image that claimed Nazis were Democratic Socialists.
That is the kind of ignorance that Trump's campaign is built on. It's dangerous. I don't care if people are liberal or conservative -- I just want them to educate themselves. We have access to the largest archive of human knowledge in the history of civilization, and people can't be assed to know what "Nazi" stands for? Come on.

Don't make me take a picture of my degree and wave it in your face. Assuming I can find the fucking thing.
That being said, everything about why no one should vote for Trump is summed up by this video. There's also the fact that Trump's an adulterer, lied repeatedly on multiple topics for personal gain, and that he has openly supported both torture and the killing of civilians. Source for Trump's statement on killing civilians. It's pretty hard to misconstrue that statement as anything other than support for attacking civilians, especially when he refused to outright deny it.
Also, this: politifact.com/personalities/donald-tr..
I mean, from a purely ethical and moral standpoint, Trump's platform* is not only disgusting, it's plainly un-American. Even if I agreed with any of his stances on other issues, the fact that he supports bombing civilians precludes any validity he has as a candidate.
*Trump's platform gets an asterisk, because I actually believe Trump is a changeling. Remember the story about the faeries that come in and swap your baby with one of their own? Trump has never espoused overly reactionary-conservative views prior to this, so I think he's gunning for the nomination, only to swap things up afterward. That being said, it's still reprehensible to do shit like support torture.
Honestly, I'd even prefer an "Establishment Man" like Rubio. At least you know what you're getting. Ideally, Sanders would win. Not because I'm a liberal, but because he's the only candidate who seems to actually give a shit about the American people.

So does British chocolate. Real chocolate comes from France.
There's also no such thing as too much peanut butter.

Don't be mad because no one wants to eat a chip butty.
I wouldn't even want to go somewhere that doesn't appreciate the delicacy that is the peanut butter and chocolate syrup sandwich.
Uncultured savages!
EDIT:: Chocolate shell syrup confuses and infuriates me, and I won't tolerate its impure touch defiling my glorious peanut butter sandwich.
EDIT:: Also, nothing beats the peanut butter-peanut butter sandwich. Peanut butter, topped with dried peanut butter powder. Double peanut butter power.

Fuck you, I used to eat chocolate syrup and peanut butter sandwiches. It's not my fault you can't handle a trip to flavor town you fucking filthy philistine.
