20 People Who Would Make Better Presidential Candidates

Wilx

Is anybody else tired of this extremely sad sitcom of an election we're having here in the U.S.? Yes? Good. We Americans have been more outspoken than ever on our two main presidential candidates: the human Cheeto with a toupee, Donald Trump, and the real-life Pinocchio (but without the nose), Hillary Clinton. This is the first election I'll ever be voting in, and while there are other much more appealing candidates in other parties, I decided to compile a list of people who I believe would make fantastic presidential candidates in the very likely chance that I resort to a write-in vote this year.

1. Beyoncé

Why settle for Queen when you can also be President?

2. Leonardo DiCaprio

Truly an inspiration.

3. The creator of the Cosmic Brownie

God bless.

4. Cole Sprouse

He trolled the world by creating a personal Tumblr account as a social experiment, as if 2012 wasn't crazy enough already.

5. Zac Efron and Dave Franco

With Vice President Seth Rogen.

6. Michael Phelps

The GOAT.

7. A goat named Michael Phelps

8. Elle Woods

9. ~Captain~ Jack Sparrow

The rum would never be gone if he's in charge.

10. Furby

11. That girl who ate her own tampon in 2013

12. Nicholas Cage

13. The lead singer of Nickelback

14. Charlie Sheen

15. Pitbull

AKA a naked mole rat.

16. That guy who flipped a water bottle

17. Casey Anthony

18. Courage the Cowardly Dog

19. Amy Schumer

20. Ellen DeGeneres

So my fellow Americans, if you're like me and feel that our current options for president make you want to vomit, remember this nifty little list upon entering the voting booths on election day. Choose wisely when casting your vote, because although we're doomed no matter who you choose, you might as well choose the person who would make this country ~less~ doomed, am I right?

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
