A Safer Nation

 

I must admit, I did not start agreeing with many of Clinton’s policies until my party blew most of them out of proportion under Trumps campaign. I believe that a large portion of American voters would agree with me, and that in the past few weeks, we have seen what a Trump presidency would really look like.  Clinton is not at the top of my list of presidential candidates I would vote for, but she is our best realistic option. Like I said earlier, I do agree with her on some issues such as Environmental, Education and most importantly Civil Liberties and I learned this during the first presidential debate.

We need a leader who will fight against systemic racism in our nation, because if we do not we will only polarize our citizens even more to pick a side which will divide us to a point I don’t want to witness. As president, Clinton has stated that she will lead this fight. “We’re going to enforce the law, we’re going to change policing practices, we’re going to change incarceration practices, but we’re also going to emphasize education, jobs, and housing.” Clinton stated during the Feb. 11th Primary debate. She reiterates this in the first general election debate as well, showing her interest in not only helping the convicted, but the police force as well, mainly to reduce the amount of officer racial bias in our communities. Overall, I would say her plan is much more thought out than Trump’s “Law and Order” style of government.
