I apologize in advance that this is quite long and it had poor formatting sinc
e I'm typing it out on my phone.
Since all ballots are casted and now we are just waiting for the Electoral Col
lege to announce the results I thought I would reply to this.
First thing's first, this entire election is both depressing and agonizing. Ei
ther candidate is not fit for White House. I believe that we can all agree thi
s on Donald Trump because of all his ridiculous policies, rude and blunt behav
iurs, and incompetencies in terms of literally no experience at a public offic
e. So now the topic shifts to Hillary Clinton. Why is she an unfit candidate f
or the office - a question you might ask. Well, let's begin with the fact that
she had been lying since the very beginning. Furthermore, she would also say
anything, even if it meant deceit, for the benefit of getting more votes. Such
deceiving tatics is very distasteful. However, this is not the most important
point of all. The most important point is her private email server scandle du
ring her term as the.Secretary of State. You have to understand that this offi
ce is the one just below that of the White House. The Secretary has to make su
re that all communications are secured so that no secret will be stolen and us
ed to malicious intents. However, setting up your own email server as the prim
ary server for government email account, an account that will constantly deal
with national secrets, is a treason. You may argue that she has no intention o
f leaking state secrets and it had been found that there was no such intent bu
t you can dismiss the fact that she knowingly set up an unsecured server to ha
ndle state secrets is not a criminal negligence. As a result, these two candid
ates are not fit for the President.
Secondly, during the primary race there had been so many remarkable and good c
andidates for the job. Yet, the Americans from each party decided to pick thes
e two candidates. It's so ironic that a country prides itself as the greatest
country on earth yet its population can't even be literate on their own presid
ential election. Most of these people are educated but not educated enough to
even think and research on the topic in question.
Lastly, Clinton won the overall vote count. Trump won the overall electoral se
ats. This just shows that how ridiculous the representative bipartisian electo
ral system is. Even the entire bipartisan system is unfair since it will ultim
ately lead to a two party system like many many countries. It
's an unfair and undemocratic system since it destroys the diversity that exis
ts among the population and just group all into two categories.
I guess right now there really isn't going to be any change. After all, it's j
ust another day on this planet that we all have to deal with. We can't really
see and predict how it will affect the world as it's bound to happen; all we c
an do is to hope that it won't affect too drastically.
thanks for reading this long rant.
here is a good video by Stephen Colbert and his reaction to the election:
