As of lately, I can not help but be drawn in by our current political debacle. As an American, I find the current political election for president to be an absolute disgrace to our nation. We as Americans are stuck between two people who have no business being president of the United States. One seems to be the lesser of two evils, but I ask myself this, why would I choose any evil? The fact of the matter is that we are currently about to give power to an individual that conducts themselves in the manner of a child. So blatantly do they conduct themselves this way I feel shame as a young American. I cannot believe either candidate made it this far, to be honest. I guess with money comes power. I guess that is just the way it goes when we the people have no power.

Now though I ask how does the rest of the world feel about the current election? I think that they can agree our internal affairs are one of the most amusing parts of their day. As of now with every little antagonizing battle of words batted back and forth between our candidates that this has caused America to become one giant political circus in need of a new act. This is the reason I am writing this piece, because as a young adult of 22 years of age in America. I see that my country will be influenced in one of the most crucial points in my life; the part where I will build a foundation for a better future for me and the future kids that I may be blessed with one day. How can I do this though in a nation that will elect anyone it seems? I can only express my current distress about the current political state of affairs in our country.

For our futures, it is my hope that someone somewhere will see this, and will realize that the young Americans are not satisfied with the current state of our country and political situation. It is my hope that this will let the rest of the world know that the two current presidential candidates are not what we want for the future of our country. So do not let either of these two closed minded individuals act as a reflection of what America wants or let their actions be the basis for the point in which you say stupid Americans because this is not the majority. Change is coming I can only hope that with it comes progress. Also that we as a nation not be looked down upon. Right now it is as I said, a circus in need of a new act. We can no longer allow this current act to continue. Alas though, who am I but another young writer with words that seem hollow. Hopefully, those who see these words can understand we the people are not content.
