In the a crucial election coming up in November, options for American citizens have narrowed even more with Bernie Sanders leaving the race. Last Tuesday, Sanders publicly endorsed Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee for President, leaving Hillary as the sole Democratic candidate.
Now the two candidates left are Hillary Clinton and the man who wants to recreate a wall similar to the Berlin Wall between the U.S. and Mexico, Donald Trump. America has to decide between a former First Lady of the United States, Senator and Secretary of State, and a business leader and former reality television show star. Sadly, it seems like more people believe in reality television than in actual politics, since Clinton is winning polls by only a slim amount.
Another one of Trump’s negative qualities is his adeptness at harnessing the large amount of hate and oppression seeping through the cracks of America. No amount of laws and protests have the ability to change the mindsets of America's citizens. Trump caters to Americans' fears, such as losing their jobs and he has made a campaign out that is dangerous in every way possible.
In addition, there are many powerful and influential people in America who stand against Trump and his vision for the country. On July 14, Ruth Ginsburg publicly apologized for her past negative statements about Trump. The Supreme Court, being the highest court in America, is above politics, but that does not detract from her prior vocal anti-Trump statements.
Clinton, while not being many people’s first choice, is safest option as the next leader of the free world. So, please do not back hatred in our country. Realize that we are stronger together.
