An Open Letter to America: Don't Let Donald Trump Happen Again
Bright Green

In Michigan, 90,000 people voted down ballot, but refused to vote for president. They couldn't vote for Donald Trump because he's atrocious but they couldn't vote for the system that has screwed them over for 30 years. I was laughed at when I said in July, it's insane not to call Donald Trump the favorite. Now everyone is hurting because no one took it seriously. Today, I am warning you, democratic loyalist, if you allow another neoliberal to become the nominee again, if you turn a blind eye to corruption, if you attempt to silence dissenting voices, Donald Trump will be the president for 8 years. I know it seems crazy, 8 years of Donald Trump? It's not crazy at all. People thought Donald Trump wouldn't run for president and he ran. They thought he wouldn't enter the debates, he entered the debates. They thought he wouldn't win a single primary, he would a primary. They thought he wouldn't wouldn't win two primaries, he won two primaries. They thought he wouldn't win the nomination, he won the nomination. They thought he wouldn't be president and... we get the picture. So right now, I am warning you, four years away from the next election that if we do not learn our lesson, Donald Trump will be our president for eight years.

It appears right now that people have not learned their lesson. They are blaming James Comey, third parties, and sexism for Hillary losing. Well, Hillary would have still lost in the swing states she lost if the number of third party voters that said they would vote for her in a two party race voted for her. It wasn't sexism. Fewer women voted for Hillary Clinton and a lower percentage of women voted for Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama. Had the amount of women who voted for Obama voted for Hillary, the results may have been different. Don't blame James Comey because you should have never been behind a candidate with an FBI investigation. You should have demanded she stepped down. You didn't treat Donald Trump as an emergency. You treated him as a joke. You said he had no chance of winning and laughed at anyone who said he would. If you do not learn from what you did this election cycle, no matter how bad Donald Trump will be, he will be our president again in 2020. I'm here and I'm ready to fight. No plans on moving to Canada. What will you do?

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
