Election 2016
Trump vs Clinton
I will be talking about the 2016 presidential election, and why I was upset with the results. If you might not know Donald Trump won the election for the republican side of the party and it made many people I know upset. Their are various as to why we are upset that this racist,sexist,ablest, and homophobic man won. Also as to why he was the first republican to win in quite a few years.
Donald Trump
Donald Trump announced that he was running for presidency on June,16 2015. He then held campaign rallies where he said some not so nice things. He stated that ALL Mexicans were rapist and criminals and that we should all leave the country. This raised some eyebrows however some people thought it was all a joke and let it almost like slide. He then made fun of a disabled reporter, which is where I personally thought he would lose majority of his supporters however he kept gaining which is where people became more aware. He then started winning and made it up to the final two. He then went up against Ted Cruz and then won against him as well. By now people had already noticed and more people started not liking him. His next opponent which was Hilary Clinton this is when he started saying the sexist things such as "she would bomb a city every time she was on her menstrual cycle" and other things. This is why when women started voting for him no matter race angered me. Now onto the personal side, I hate Trump, because as a Mexican women who supports the LGBT+ community I am no place to support him. He ha proven many times he is not good enough, now let's just see what the future holds.
Hilary Clinton
Hilary Clinton had run for president in 2008 but lost and decided to run against this year. She is a former first lady, wife of Bill Clinton, and New York senator. She held campaign and immediately go supporters due to her being a women and first lady. She actually got backlash by Bernie supporters because of her hypocrisy. There had been a videos of her stating awful things such as not supporting gay marriage, pro choice, and wanting Iraq war. This raised a lot of eyebrows of her being a liar because all of sudden she changed her entire thought on everything, and was going against her own self. A lot Bernie supporter, like myself, thought she was doing this just to get more supporters despite her being an awful liar. Nether less she won against Bernie which is when I started losing interest in the election because both of the candidates were awful. She then went against trump where her email thing linked and she got into trouble for not being healthy. Until she lost the presidency despite Obama being in her side. Personally I think Bernie was a better option, however if it was between her and Trump I would chose her. Still quite disappointment in the fact she lost.
What Our Future Holds
Now that you've heard my thoughts on this presidential I hope you know why we are upset. Especially in our Hispanic Community and the fact that we couldn't even vote makes it worse. We want the voice of the new generation to be heard this is why we are doing walk outs and all of that. I don't think that it will stop any time soon however I do hope for a bright future. I have undocumented people in my family and I'll admit I am afraid however I know they are nit the person he makes us out to be. There is also the check and balance system so he doesn't exactly have full power yet. I just hope America stays the same or even into something better. I hope he has a change in thought and that the House doesn't choose him because I know the real diverse America wouldn't want a man like him.
