How could he lose?

My Response To Bernie Sanders' Defeat
Audio Boom

Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders lost to Hillary Clinton to become the Democratic Presidential Nominee. While I will congratulate Hillary Clinton on her victory, I am still saddened on our choices of this year of presidential candidates.

Even though I really do not want Donald Trump to become president, I cannot fully support Hillary Clinton as I do not think she will fully represent me. The thing that pulled my vote for Senator Sanders was how I felt how genuine he is when he speaks on issues.

Of course, I don't agree with all of the things he is trying to do, but I can honestly say that he has been fighting for others since his political career. I remember seeing a video of a Bernie Sanders rally , and protesters who took his microphone and he allowed them to speak to voice their opinions. Of course, it was ignorant of them to do that since he is for their cause, but the fact he did not silence them as they voiced their concerns speaks high volumes about it. Something similar happened to Hillary Clinton, but instead she silenced the protester as if the protester's voice did not matter. Not voting at all or voting for a third-party is pointless since that will secure Donald Trump's victory. There was a campaign that was ran clean, but it was sabotaged by his own party. I felt like there was hope to continue great leadership after President Obama. It is truly heartbreaking that he lost and how the way he lost. While Hillary Clinton's name was already established, Bernie had to actually fight for his support and name to be out there.

On social media there are a ton of Bernie Sanders supports, but also those that did not vote. It is important to get registered to vote so a person's voice will be heard.

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.
