There are now three measly weeks remaining until election day in one of the most bizarre races in American history. Both candidates have historic unfavorability ratings. and most Americans heading to the polls next month are voting with the intention to keep the other candidate out, rather than their own candidate in. The candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, while both presenting daunting options for the next four years, have also exposed many things wrong with our election process. On the democratic side, super delegates helped Clinton seal the nomination, representatives chosen by the Clinton campaign to vote for her despite any opponent, rigging the primary from the beginning and stacking the odds against any who might oppose her. Super delegates that did not turn over to Clinton were punished, threatened with a loss of funding and media blackouts. Trump has demonstrated the overall inadequacy of the Republican party as a whole, proving again to be America’s disappointment as he hits home largely with uneducated white males. One only hopes that something will happen to change the dangerous course this country is currently embarked upon.
