NEEDING FURTHER CLARIFICATION

A former student of mine posted this warning on Facebook recently:

Having no knowledge of this young woman's political leanings, I cannot even guess which candidate she is advocating I vote for so as to "get it right in November" and retain my freedom. 

The rhetoric on both sides of the political aisle is so heated, so partisan and so hyperbolic, I can easily imagine this very sentiment being put forward by either a Democrat or a Republican. 

Without cue words like "senile" or "felon", how can I know which man I can count on to preserve my freedom?
