This election has been one for the books. With President Barack Obama wrapping up his final term, it's time for another dedicated candidate to take the spot as our Commander in Chief. With Cruz and Sanders out of the race, it left the country with two candidates: businessman, Donald Trump and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton. However, not many people are happy with these two candidates.
"Unfortunately, with our current candidates, there is too much talk of scandals and name-calling. There is too little talk of the issues and the policies that ultimately matter to the Americans."-student at Franklin College
With this election, both candidates are bringing out the worst in one another and their supporters. Looking to social media, you see the people raise their voices about their political choices.
"When it comes to politics, I'm fairly tolerable and open-minded. At this point, however, it goes beyond politics. I've seen people defend Trump's actions of xenophobia, sexism, racism, etc., while not being able to say anything of his politics (partly because he doesn't talk about that). I can't fathom why anyone would support him.." -New York City student
Seeing others express views that are different than your own is shocking, but when it comes to the future of our country, isn't that what America was founded on? The different viewpoints of others?
Sitting through the Presidential Debates may have been hard for most of us, but it has allowed us to see what both candidates want to do for us as a country. However, it also allowed us to see their true faces. Each debate was a constant slap in the face, seeing both parties constant jabs at each other. As much as I want to express my choice of presidency, I would rather not make this article a roast session. But let's just say, my choice is the more respectable one.
