predicament is the latest to show that. Rausch in his article calls for us to return to establishment politics. Rausch believes the chronic decline in our current political system long predates the 2016 presidential candidates like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. And after 10 rough months of watching the spectacle unfold‚ we finally have a diagnosis that Rausch presented and it is called chaos syndrome. Rausch explains how we got here in short‚ by weakening entities that historically held politicians

Voters believe atheists are "moral wildcards" and‚ thus‚ unelectable asserts Will Gervais in Jonathan Freedland’s exploration into "Why Americans Won’t Vote in an Atheist." Regrettably‚ the Judeo-Christian Heritage of the United States often trumps the notion of religious freedom and the practice of religious tolerance. Deeming "a belief in God" the foundation of morality‚ many Americans will not even consider the merits of a candidate if he or she does not profess the existence of a higher power

Bernie Siegel once said “if we had no hope- for a cure for winning the lottery‚ for falling in love‚ for the end of the war‚ for being free of abuse‚ or for having food‚ warmth‚ clothing‚ and shelter- we would have no reason to go on. What you hope for doesn’t matter‚ but rather the essence of hope itself.” This author was kind of trying to talk about the same thing as in “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson. Jackson grew up in California and began writing short story and poetry as a young teenage girl

I agree with Morone and Kersh that age‚ education‚ and income tend to discourage political participation. Age factors into political participation especially for new young voters. Wealth as well plays a factor in political participation. “Poorer people are less likely to vote” ( Morone & Kersh 246). This in turn discourages others from voting because they feel as though voting isn’t democratic. Alienation which is “ a feeling of powerlessness‚ or inability to control one’s own political fate” (247)

was a weird year. The weirdest part about it was the election. No one expected what the outcome would be. This year me and my family followed the election very closely. We watched all the debates and considered every political stance. I supported Bernie Sanders‚ whilst my parent wanted Clinton‚ but in the end we all supported Hillary Clinton. I spent election day in a car driving to get my mom out of a meeting.
