Trump Y Clinton No Son Nuestra Única Opción

Hay más que dos candidatos presidenciales

Sabía usted que hay otros candidates compitiendo para la presidencia en el 2016?

Lo más probable es que no lo sabía y es porque los candidatos del tercer partido (que no se identifican como Republicanos ni Demócratas) tienen más obstáculos que vencer para poder ser conocidos nacionalmente. La comisión de debates presidenciales (CPD), “requiere que los candidatos tengan el 15% de votos en 5 encuestas nacionales antes de los tres debates programados, y que tengan suficiente lugares en balotas estatales.” Esto es un problema porque los debates nacionales serían una gran oportunidad para que más gente conozca a los candidatos de otros partidos y candidatos independientes pero como de por sí no tienen mucho reconocimiento, no pueden participar en los debates y expandir sus partidiarios.

La desaprobación de los candidatos de ambos partidos a llegado a nuevos altos. De hecho uno de cada cuatro Estadounidenses desaprueban de ambos candidatos. Mucha gente quisiera otras opciones y si hay otras opciones pero muchos ni sabemos. Históricamente la presidencia siempre la ha ganado un demócrata o republicano, pero en tiempos como estos donde ninguno de los dos es buen candidato es importante tener debates abiertos.

Yo no sabía que había más candidatos que Trump y Hillary. Cuando me enteré de Jill Stein, la candidata presidencial del partido verde, me emocione porque al fin había un candidato/a que yo apoyaba. Ya casi es Noviembre y se acerca el tiempo para votar, y apenas me voy enterando que tengo otra opción. Si tuviéramos debates abiertos más gente conociera a Dra. Jill Stein o Gary Johnson mas pronto. Muy seguido oigo a gente decir que esta elección se trata de elegir el menos de dos males, y yo creo que es porque tanta gente no sabe que hay otros candidatos y tenemos el derecho de saber todas nuestras opciones.

Quizás si más gente hubiera conocido sus otras opciones más temprano en la carrera presidencial, todo fuera diferente. Aunque me duela decir, quizás es muy tarde para que gane la Dra. Stein o Johnson, pero aun hay algo que se pueda hacer para que esto no nos pase otra vez, necesitamos que la comisión de debates presidenciales habrá los debates a todos los candidatos incluyendo los de tercer partidos.

La Dra. Jill Stein candidata presidencial del partido verde.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
