The Hate Debate

It doesn't matter who won the debate...we're still doomed.

The Hate Debate
QZ.com

On Monday night, Americans gathered around and watched as two venomous snakes argued over which one had less venom. Not sure where I'm going at with this? Then allow me to translate: Americans gathered and watched as Hilliary Clinton took on Donald Trump to see who was the lesser of two evils. Yeah, that sounds about right.

Monday's presidential debate was entertaining, to say the least. Clinton and Trump went back and forth on issues plaguing our country today and in the end, Trump showed us why Hillary Clinton would be a much better leader for this country than he would be.

Throughout each topic, Clinton and Trump went back and forth with each other like two kids bickering over whose better. As expected, Donald Trump was up to his usual childish antics as he would cut in anytime Hillary Clinton would speak on one of his policies. And anytime the regulator would try to move on to the next question, Trump would raise his voice and continue talking to make sure America will know what outlandish comment he had to say next.

The topics of the debate ranged on many of the concerns facing America today. When it came to jobs, Clinton purposed more jobs in infrastructure, raising the minimum wage, and giving families paid leave. Meanwhile, Trump gave us the usual "Stop letting China steal from us!" rant as well as promising to lower taxes for businesses.

Then on to the topic of taxes for the wealthy. While Clinton promised equally tax distribution amongst all classes, Trump, being a rich ma�n of course, refused to cut any taxes for the wealthy.

And finally, the most sensitive topic of the night was race relations in America. This was the category where Clinton proved to be the clear cut winner of this debate. While she purposed criminal justice reform, community outreach, and gun control, Trump proposed to bring back stop and frisk (which was proven to be unconstitutional), and protecting inner cities where he has investments in.

Hillary Clinton proved to be the clear cut winner of this debate, but in the end, America has to be the biggest loser from this whole presidential race. With lies and secrets surrounding Clinton, and controversy and bigotry surrounding Trump, it is clear that American people will be picking posiion in this upcoming election. After this debate, all Clinton has done was show us that we will just be getting less poison from her.

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.

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.
