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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
