Week 10! Wow, how crazy is that? 10 weeks of college and World Politics under my belt!
As amazing and thought provoking as things have been in school and in this class, the thing I'm focused on the most this week is the election. Tomorrow, November 6th, is the 2018 midterm election and there's a lot at stake. The current administration is reckless and frankly, an embarrassment. Their poor actions and lack on thought for future generations and the marginalized could seriously harm us if we don't act to stop them now. There's a lot of history that could be made tomorrow. The first Native American woman could be elected to congress, the first LGBTQ+ Native American could be elected to congress, numerous LGBTQ+ individuals could be elected to various governmental positions, we could see the first ever election of a Muslim woman in congress, and the first time election of many racial minorities. All of these will be inspiring historical feats and I hope to see them come to life tomorrow. Voting has really been emphasized this midterm election and the usage of social media to encourage it has been insane. I have never, ever seen so many celebrities, activists, and normal people utilize social media to relentlessly to inspire social change. As much critique as there may be on social media and the youth of today's "obsession" with social media and technology, it's really helping all of us out and making understanding the process a lot easier. Here's to hoping that democrats get back control!!! Go vote!!!! Please!
