Hope and Change

This presidential election has been rough. We've gotten down to picking the lesser of two evils and hoping for the best. How did we even get here? The election is supposed to be about hearing the people's voice, and if the voice the people is negative- then where did we go wrong?

We think we elect people on their good ideas and moral standings, but that is anything but true in this election. There will always be some people who can keep a level head and make rational decisions during times of turmoil. On the other hand, there are people who don't do any research at all and make decisions on who looks and acts more 'presidential.' Maybe that is why Obama was so successful- because of his outward appearance, instead of his internal politics. He was a young guy, a real chance at being the first African American president. He has symbols and catch phrases, messages instead of plans.

Maybe that's why Hillary is doing so good, in spite of her record. She's a woman, and having a female president would make a lot of feminists happy. She comes from a long line of politicians, a much more presidential lineage than a hotel franchise and reality TV shows.

What ever comes of this presidential election, things are going to change. And even if we don't thing it's true anymore, the change is still determined by the people.
