Politics

I have never been so disappointed in my Fellow Americans than I have been since the day after the elections. Have you all lost your minds and I mean all of you? I don't want to put you all down but I am truly deeply saddened by the behavior of people who think that they were cheated by the results of the election. Don't you realize we have a chance here to actually control the behavior of a president, to actually see what he is doing instead of hearing about it later after charges are already brought against him? With this man in the Office of President we might actually see true and good changes for ALL instead of the same old shit that would have continued to remain the same under another Clinton Administration. Also if you are so unhappy at this man's election then why didn't...

Lettre ouverte aux responsables de MFP. Je vous écris caR une personne travaillant chez vous, Valérie Cahour, s'est permise de s'adresser à moi en ces termes : "So you can go away, what are you doing in our beautiful country. It'a a shame to accept living in a country we don't respect." Cette personne m'exhorte donc ainsi, je la cite à "si t'aime pas la France dégage". Je suis indigné par de tels propos à mon encontre, de quel droit et de quelle autorité se permet cette personne de m'interdire de vivre en France, de renier ma nationalité Française et mes origines françaises en raison des mes opinions ou de mes ressentiments. Je demande des explications franches et claires de votre part. Je ferai copie de cette lettre et de ces propos sur d'autres tribunes tant que cette...

Respected CM Delhi! Humble request by: A responsible common Indian Citizen!! Its our humble request to change your perception towards the situation currently faced by common people. What the PM of Indian has done is a step and a level above than what you are trying to pin point. Being a CM of Delhi you are trying to see common man's problem but at the same time you FAIL to do your duty. The CM of Delhi should help the common man and try to come up with solutions rather than pin pointing whats happening around. Its my humble request that you stop this political media drama of showing the temporary phase of the regulation passed and rather start thinking of ways and solutions, strategies that improves the situation. Please trust the common man's voice, right now what we need is all...

Hello, Mr. Trump, My name is Alex and I'm a student of the University of Virginia. I saw early on your appeal during this election and even bet my father 50$ that not only would you be the Republican nominee, but the President. I hope that you reconsider your policy on illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants to this country include more than just Mexicans or Latin Americans; they include Eastern Europeans in New York, Mongolians in Arlington, and even my fellow Koreans in Palisades, New Jersey and Centreville, Virginia. My mom among them used to be considered one before marrying my father. I understand that open borders allow anyone to enter our country - including the rapists, murderers and thieves of your so widely misunderstood quote on Mexican immigrants - but...

Dear Hillary Clinton, The chances of you ever reading this are slim to none. To be honest, the chances of anyone seeing this besides my close circle of social media followers is highly unlikely, yet the best way I can emote how I feel at this time is to write....so here it is. I first emailed you towards the end of the campaign with a general list of my thanks and my thoughts. At the time, I was expecting a very different outcome (as were most Americans.) Though the reality of what happened was extremely different, my admiration, my gratitude, and my respect for you has only grown. I must admit that my admiration for you started a very long time before you decided to run for president the second time around. I was nine years old when you announced your candidacy back in 2008. I didn...

Mr. Trump, First, let me say congratulations on your win. Becoming the president of the United States of America is something many dream of. Your victory, however, has been met with a very diverse mix of reactions. Some are jubilant, some angry, some heartbroken, and others, such as myself, are simply terrified. As I sit at my computer, afraid to turn on the news or even log onto Facebook to see what the world holds now, I realize I still have options. I could sit back and let it go, I could join the protests, I could argue with my peers, but none of these options seem productive enough for me. Instead, I challenge you Donald Trump. I challenge you, because I know how much you love to win, and I know how much I love this country. I challenge you to prove me wrong. I have seen the work of...

I am sorry for your loss. You obviously pinned your hopes for the future on one woman and that didn't work out. Now you are scared, angry and for many rioting instead of protesting because once you started shooting, vandalizing and attacking others you crossed the line. Peaceful protests are part of our country. Walking down the street chanting for change is part of our democracy. Carrying signs with foul language, burning Mr. Trump in effigy, destroying property, attacking others and shredding and burning the American flag isn't protesting. That is rioting. HOW DARE YOU BURN THE AMERICAN FLAG!!! The American flag is a symbol of freedom. That flag carries the blood of millions who have fought and died to allow you the right to PROTEST, not riot. That flag is what helps...

I have felt anger these past few days after the election in the United States. I was not an enthusiastic supporter of Hillary Clinton but did not want Donald Trump to become President of the United States of America. Once my anger subsided I realized why America elected this opportunist. People wanted change from the politics as usual in Washington. The American public wanted someone who was not a part of the establishment that is entrenched in our nation's capital. However as the old saying goes a tiger can't change it's stripes. Trump has not provided a positive message in this past election and has provided a path for racist,homophobes,isolationist,xenophobes,and war mongers access to the oval office. These people who elected Trump either do not care about the consequences of their...

Dear American Protesters, I get it. You’re astonished, mortified, afraid, disgusted - pissed off. And in this land of free speech and open spaces, you want to shout your feelings, fill the air with your angst, coat the outer walls of ivory towers and high-rise apartments with your rage and denial - because maybe, if you’re loud enough and if there are enough of you, the recent inconceivable election results can be reversed and order (as you see it) can be restored. And as a proponent of freedom, free speech specifically, I say have at it. Shout. March. Protest. But as a fellow citizen and an idolizer of productivity, I say you’re doing it wrong. Also, I’ve heard a lot of people telling you to stop it. Or to yell louder. I want to tell you something else. Please,...

I am writing this open letter because frankly I feel that I have sat on the sidelines as an observer for far too long. I am not going to highlight my gender, my level of education, my race, my age, or my political affiliations, as I do not personally believe that any of those factors contribute to whether or not I am a moral or credible individual, and they certainly do not determine whether or not I deserve to have an opinion. Over the last year, the entire world has been obsessively watching the campaign for the oh-so coveted position of President of the “United” States of America. On voting day, our stomachs were churning, our hearts were racing – and for some of us they were breaking – as results started pouring in. Now, we are raw. We are exhausted. We are wounded. We are all...
