Reasons to Not Vote for Trump

-- Freedom of speech --
* Trump made a comment vaguely expressing that he wants to censor the
  Internet: 
  ''"We're losing a lot of people because of the internet," Trump 
  said. "We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that 
  really understand what's happening. We have to talk to them about, 
  maybe in certain areas, closing that internet up in some ways. 
  Somebody will say, 'Oh freedom of speech, freedom of speech.' These 
  are foolish people."' 
  He even mocked people that do not want the Internet censored in that 
  statement. The 'areas' he is talking about might be countries, since
  he has said that he wants to shut off the Internet to certain
  countries that are terrorist-controlled.
* Trump made another vague comment about censorship, this time saying
  that he wants to 'open up' libel laws:
  "One of the things I'm going to do if I win, and I hope we do and
   we're certainly leading. I'm going to open up our libel laws so 
   when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, 
   we can sue them and win lots of money. We're going to open up those 
   libel laws. So when The New York Times writes a hit piece which is 
   a total disgrace or when The Washington Post, which is there for 
   other reasons, writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money 
   instead of having no chance of winning because they're totally 
   protected".

-- Foreign policy --
* Trump has said that we need to 'take out' the family members of
  terrorists:
  "It's a horrible thing. They're using them as shields. But we're 
   fighting a very politically correct war. And the other thing is with 
   the terrorists, you have to take out their families"
  "They, they care about their lives. Don't kid yourself. But they say 
   they don't care about their lives. You have to take out their 
   families."
  He has said that 'take out' means destroy the homes of the
  terrorists' families:
  'We're going to have to do what Israel was doing for a period of 
   time. 'Take out' means you have to wipe out their homes where they
   came from.'
  Not as bad as killing them, but still pretty bad.
* 'Trump has called for the reintroduction of waterboarding and "a 
   hell of a lot worse than waterboarding"'.
* Trump wants to take over oil fields in Iraq that he _thinks_ are
  owned by ISIS and possibly wants to use ground troops to do it:
  'Well you bomb the hell out of them and then you encircle it, and 
   then you go in. And you let Mobil go in, and you let our great oil 
   companies go in. Once you take that oil they have nothing left.'
  That statement was after O'Reilly asked 'With ground troops?'.
* Of course, as implied by the above, Trump wants to continue fighting
  against ISIS. This is certainly not exclusive to him, though. To be
  fair, besides the above stuff, Trump seems to be less war-mongering 
  than the usual, or at least not more so.

-- Surveillance --
* Trump said 'I want surveillance of certain mosques, O.K.?' Like with
  much of what Trump has said, this comment is not entirely clear. How
  would he determine the mosques to spy on?
* Trump on Snowden:
  '"This guy is a bad guy," Trump said. "You know there is still a 
   thing called execution. You really have thousands of people with 
   access to the kind of material like this. We're not going to have a
   country any longer."'
  This is also a free speech issue.

-- Immigration -- 
* Trump wants to build a wall between the US and Mexico. I think the
  borders should probably be open, so I am against this. It would also
  be expensive, though he claims that he would make Mexico pay for it.
* Trump has proposed a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US. He 
  said that he wants to have a 'total and complete shutdown of Muslims 
  entering the U.S.'. This is hostile to freedom of religion.

-- Economics --
* Trump is a protectionist and supports implementing a tariff against 
  products imported from China: '"I would tax China on products coming 
  in," Mr. Trump said. "I would do a tariff, yes --and they do it to 
  us."'.

-- Gun rights --
* Trump did not outright speak against the gun ban for no-fly list 
  members:
  '"Well, I'd certainly take a look at it. I would," Trump said on 
   CBS' "Face the Nation." "I'm very strong into the whole thing with 
   Second Amendment -- but if you can't fly, and if you've got some 
   really bad -- I would certainly look at that very hard."'
  This is also a due process issue.

-- Miscellaneous --
* Trump is a supporter of eminent domain:
  '"I think eminent domain for massive projects, for instance you're 
   going to create thousands of jobs and you have somebody that's in 
   the way. Eminent domain, they get a lot of money," Trump said. 
   "And you need a house in a certain location because you're going to 
   build this massive development that's going to employ thousands of 
   people or you're going to build a factory that without this little 
   house, you can't build the factory. I think eminent domain is 
   fine."
* Trump said 'I'm fine with affirmative action'.
