Another great piece of writing from my mom.
Reason for unsubscribing? (optional)
I’m unsubscribing because I believe Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are different ONLY in gender. I don’t trust her any more than I trust him. I marginally trusted Bill Clinton, and watched him be impeached for a minor sexual act that has probably been committed by many men in power all over the world. At that time, every woman in the USA seemed to hate HRC for standing by him. Now she’s a heroine to them? I’ve seen her speeches differ according to what group she happened to be speaking to and I’m aware of how many delegates she could afford to buy with her wealth. I had some hope when President Obama was elected and I did vote for him, but aside from the insufficient healthcare plan/reform he passed, none of his campaign “promises” came to fruition. We are still at war, still holding prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, still lying to US citizens and the rest of the world, and still mistreating women, the poor, the racially or religiously different, just the same as always. We are a nation of hypocrites, with just a small number of exceptions. Unless you happen to be a rich, white male, in this country, and in this rare case a rich white female, there is very little hope for change. I’m writing in Senator Sanders for President and after that, my involvement with politics is over. I respect what he was able to do, but after seeing how many citizens he had supporting him and how many primaries were stolen from him without consequence, I finally admitted to myself that fighting this farce of a political system is futile.
Sincerely,
Jayne Sergent
