Lzzy Hale doesn't like to talk politics, but the Halestrom singer did in a recent interview, describing why she's not a fan of the topic and shedding some light on who she might, or might not, vote for in the upcoming election.

Lzzy explained that because of how polarizing politics and religion are, she avoids discussing them, but as she talked about how upsetting it is that politics divide rather than unite, she let on to how she might vote. Hale stated, 

"I'm an advocate for people. I love the human element, and we all share that. I'm into equality and I'm a people person. In all honesty, the problem that we have right now is that politics breeds hate and division; it just does that. So I can't, as a human, as a girl that has lived her life to kind of promote that type of positivity and that equality, I can't vote for anybody that even has an inkling of being that... just building their empire on that type of division and hate and inequality. I can't out of good conscious do that."

In an interview earlier this year, Lzzy said she supported Bernie Sanders, but thought he might "die the first year in office" because he's just "this old guy." She also said that "there's really no fantastic choice" between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, because she feels they're both inconsistent, though she said she definitely wouldn't vote for Trump.
