Despite the title’s obvious ideological affiliation, the subtext makes it clear that the editorial is headed in a completely non-partisan direction. Thus, the title serves to pique the interest of the reader while the subtext ensures that those opposed to the candidate affiliation of the title are not immediately turned off.

    Congressional Republicans focus more of their attention on the wrongdoings of the government, as they wish to “restore accountability to Congress” in order to “end its cycle of scandal and disgrace” (31-8). Being more critical of the government, the Republicans leave a lasting mark by conveying their message that policies need to be changed within the government in order to allow the free people to confide in their government as a whole again. On the other hand, Clinton focuses more of his attention on the budget cuts while slightly touching upon the fact that the people need a smaller size government by stating, “…The era of big government is over…we cannot go back to the time when our citizens were left to fend for themselves” (31-9). Clinton addresses the issue, but defends the government in a manner of explaining that the people need some form of government; it’s essential. Both, Congressional Republicans and Bill Clinton had their priorities.…

    The majority of the youth in California have not been active and turning out to vote, while the state and county elections greatly affects them. Elections and votes result into what the future of California will look like and its citizens, which is the youth’s and college student’s future as well. The question I aim to research and write on is, why not turnout to vote if they care about their personal future in California? There is a large population of youth and college students in California, while the voter turnout in elections continues to decline rather than increase. I aim to research this puzzling question and make an argument on this phenomenon.…

    Currently, with the use of numerous resources of media outlets that are available in our society, there are four words that have been plastered across the nation. These four words are of course a slogan that is being used by Donald Trump in his presidential campaign. A campaign branded by the choice words of "Make America Great Again." What is meant by "Make America Great Again"? The use of the word "again" can be depicted in the way that the meaning behind the slogan and what it perhaps suggests is to return back to a halcyon time of greatness. The greatness that has been ruined by the likes of social movements such as feminism, or perhaps immigration is what has made America lose its appeal in the war upon greatness and as to which country conquers above all else.…

    As the United States has grown from a small, agrarian nation of 2.5 million men and women to a burgeoning superpower of more than 300 million, a great transformation has ensued: Suffrage has expanded from only land-owning white Protestant men to all Americans, regardless of skin, gender, or creed, above the age of 18. Indeed, the massive growth of liberty which has occurred since 1776 is one of our nation’s proudest achievements. But this great national mission has not reached its conclusion, for younger Americans are denied the ability to influence the government’s agenda. For a land conceived in freedom to further realize the democratic ideal it has yearned and shed blood for, it is essential that we take a novel step forward: Lowering the voting age to 16.…

    As an increasingly smaller percentage of young constituents are engaging with traditional political mediums, the time to acknowledge a shift in the paradigm underlying American politics is now. Voters raised in the digital age expect an immediately tangible manifestation of their actions; anything less timely is archaic. Thus, participatory politics should be used to involve this generation’s people, who are driven by local, cause-specific experiences. With young voters capitalizing on the promptness facilitated by technology, their activism needs are met in ways traditional political structures cannot afford. Not only are their perspectives immediately responded to, they are grounded in reality.…

    The 2016 Presidential Election Campaign in the United States was notably distinct, with a woman, a democratic socialist, and a billionaire businessman making waves within their parties. With that, social media played an important role in the transmission of information and candidates’ core messages. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump used social media to their advantage, though very differently. This essay argues that the importance of social media in order to transmit political messages is becoming increasingly important, and that Bernie Sanders was able to more effectively utilize social media and to communicate his campaign’s messages through social media than Donald Trump during the primary campaign.…
