Oh, You Mean Drama

Debate?
Know Your Meme

With the presidential election coming up next month, the debates have been permeating every type of media there is. Although, can we truly call what happens between Trump and Hillary a legitimate debate? They don't really talk about anything that is of any importance. Most of the time all that they do is skirt around questions while insulting each other. That, and of course all of the interruptions. The debates are more like a drama and entertainment, than they are the different candidates stating where they stand on issues.

We as a society cannot be too mad at this though because it is our fault. Ours' along with the media. This year's election has had the most viewers than any other election. What does that say about us as a society? The more ridiculous and reminiscent of middle school quarrels the debate is, the more the people want to watch it. People get bored when it is about facts. The debates almost have to be a sort of spectacle for people to want to tune in to it. So of course that is what it going to happen. The television stations want their views. If we are tired of all the crap that Washington is giving to us to pick from, we need to change our attitudes. We need to stop watching the debates until they give us real information. Real stances on what they are going to try to do for our country. We deserve actual answer, but we need to fight for them. The millennials need to stand up and let the older generations know that we are not going to let the corrupt bureaucracy that is currently in power continue their reign of economic and societal oppression.

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:
