After reading Holland’s book, one is left feeling somewhat unsatisfied, not because of a lack in the quality of the work, but simply because many questions still linger about this complex political dynamic.

There are a significant number of people in this country that believe that voting does absolutely nothing besides putting their names in the pot to be chosen for jury duty. With this election’s diverse pool of candidates from both sides, can we really afford to be so ignorant? Apathy is another issue amongst some young voters. What comes to mind is the slogan that has been gaining popularity “IDK, Not Trump Though”. Although I agree that Donald Trump is not the ideal candidate for the presidency…

With the horse race election drawing to a close, the time to sway voters’ choice wanes. With all the recent muckraking happening in the last weeks, the positive aspects of each candidate remains evasive.

more elections, yet not enough voters. Voters typically just come out to participate in the presidential election. However, they do not participate in the voting of candidates. The more voters opt out, the worse our political system becomes, the worse the system becomes, and the more voters opt out. So if we want to change the system, maybe not voting isn’t the answer. It is so important to go out and vote, and encourage others to vote. Due to low voter turnout we have so many conflicts in our…

Everybody of a country looks up to their political leaders. Thus, would you not want the leaders to embrace all types of people, instead of belittling certain ethnicities?

Political leaders are supposed to be our example of how to be a good citizen, however if one of our leaders is a bigot…

The foundation of America is a democracy, in which people should have the willing thought…
