This election is historical because there is not only one, but two qualified women candidates running for President of the United States. Jill Stein is the green party presidential candidate fighting for your vote. Stein has many exciting new ideas. The Green New Deal, for example, would create millions of jobs by transitioning to 100% clean renewable energy by 2030. This would be accomplished by investing in public transit, sustainable agriculture, and conservation. Stein also has the End Poverty goal, which is a goal to guarantee economic human rights to everyone in the United States. The goal would include access to food, water, housing, and utilities, with effective anti-poverty programs to ensure every American a life of dignity.  – – Karalyn

 

Hillary Clinton should be the next president of the United States because of her previous political experience, her focus on a strong and healthy economy, and her focus on helping the youth of the nation through her plans for education. Having served as the former secretary of state, U.S. senator, and a former First Lady, Clinton will have far more experience in the political world than her opponent. Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump, has shown signs of being temperamentally unfit for the position and is viewed by many as being unqualified for presidency.  – – Matt

 

Donald Trump should be President because we need a President that is not a “career politician.” He has an outside perspective and is using his own money to fund his campaign, which reduces the chances of big business and other huge campaign spenders from influencing his policies. His policies will cut taxes on big companies which will act as an incentive for companies to keep their business and money in the United States, which will benefit the American people and the economy. The American people need to have assured security and jobs and the stricter boarder policies that Trump supports would do just that. – – Mary Sue

 

There is really only one reason as to why Americans should vote for Gary Johnson on November 8th. After careful examination of the political landscape, the sole motivation needed to vote Johnson is that he is not one of the other two main party candidates. Johnson has an exponentially better personality and demeanor than Donald Trump and a far less questionable political history than Hillary Clinton. Johnson also spent two successful terms as governor of New Mexico and has a strong platform, including criminal justice reform, uncomplicating immigration, strong foreign policy and national defense, and implementing federal government term limits.  – – Victor
