Political Drama I Need To Let Go (tw:rape mention)

My current events class gets me so upsetti every day because a majority of the class are Trump supporters and I literally get so ill thinking about what he said on the bus with Billy Bush and the woman who said our next President of the United States raped her when she was 13 and didn’t go through with her trial (despite having two witnesses) because of receiving death threats. I’m so beyond baffled that someone with rape accusations could be our president. The class came to the conclusion that women couldn’t stand her because she was a bad image for American women and somehow women didn’t want someone who stayed with a cheater, but rather a woman who made changes for herself. I think Hillary had every right to divorce Bill but I think first of all she wanted to avoid a media circus with a divorce. Secondly, we don’t know what happens behind closed doors in their personal life. I have a lot of respect for someone who can forgive like that and look at the person who took what I assume to be her love and devotion for granted. I know everyone got all hyped up about the emails and I think it’s wrong that she deleted them after being ordered to turn them over, and maybe she deserves to serve time for that. I know she once said marriage should be between a man and a woman at some point in the 90′s but I truly believe she’s changed her tune. I think people can change and should be given a chance to, even in Trump’s place. The issue is that in 1994 he said Miss America shouldn’t have gained weight, and then there was the Billy Bush Bus incident in 2005 or something like that, and even on his campaign trail he called women disgusting and slobs and called out specific women he thought were below his standards. He regularly rates women based on how attractive he deemed them. I guess I’m trying to say Hillary at least seemed to turn around genuinely. Trump can say he has respect for women and no one respects women more than he does but his actions say otherwise. I understand Hillary has her flaws but I’ve been with her since the beginning and I’m #stillwithher because even if she did condemn Trump’s supporters, they were all backing someone who was endorsed by a Klan Wizard, someone who labeled all of the latinx community rapists and criminals, and admitted to finding his daughter sexually attractive. Hillary wasn’t even the lesser of two evils, she was just the better choice to run our country period.

(This being said, I’m a white, middle class passing trans kid. I’m not as affected as other people might, and I understand if you disagree with my points based on different worldview and situations. I’m prepared to discuss anything and open to criticism. I don’t claim to know everything and I don’t claim to be right.)

To the Electoral College:

I wrote a letter, because it’s something I can do. This week, I’ll be making copies of this and sending it out to as many of the Electors as I can find addresses for.

Please, please share this. Feel free to use it, too. Make your own additions, change it, rearrange it - and send it. Send it to your state capitol, your representatives; other states, other reps...send it. Write more letters. Make more phone calls. We have one month to make our voices heard. Scream. Shout. Sing. Be respectful, but refuse to be silent.

Here is the Wikipedia list of 2016 electors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_electors,_2016. It’s a start.

And here is the letter:

Dear Elector,

I am writing to urge you to cast your vote against Donald Trump and Mike Pence on December 19th. This pair presents a clear and present danger to the backbone of our government, and to the very lives of millions of Americans.

On Tuesday, November 8th, Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by a margin of over 600,000. The American people made their choice clear, and yet, for the second time in less than two decades, we face an incumbent President that we did not and do not want, thanks to the uneven mathematics of the electoral system.

As members of the Electoral College, it is your responsibility to ensure that the next President of the United States is an individual who will uphold the laws and principles of this nation, and who will protect the lives and the rights of all of its people. Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear that his intention is to do the exact opposite. His America promises to be one in which anyone who is not a white, heterosexual, able-bodied, U.S.-born Christian male must live in constant fear. This fear is nothing new; those of us outside of that narrow demographic have faced discrimination, hatred, and abuse every day of our lives – but the prospect of a government that supports those abusers and refuses to protect the victims magnifies this terror beyond any previous imagining, and the absolute legitimacy of this fear is perhaps the most frightening thing of all. Already we have seen a surge of hate crimes committed by prejudiced individuals emboldened by the outcome of this election: women, Muslims, people of color, the queer community, and their allies have reported shocking experiences of violence, hate speech, and discrimination in the few short days that have passed. This is not an America in which we can take pride.

The electoral system as it stands does not truly serve the people, and is, as Donald Trump himself once ironically stated, a hindrance to real democracy. The vote of every American should carry an equal weight. The system prevents this from being the case, and it is for this very reason that so many Americans fail to exercise their right to vote: for those of us living in states that are guaranteed to go in one direction or the other, as opposed to swing states, it can be difficult to feel that our voices are truly being heard, and an outcome such as this only reinforces that feeling. You, however, have the ability to change this. You need not vote by party lines, even when pledged to do so – we have seen “faithless” electors in the past, and what minor penalties may exist are a small price to pay for quite literally saving the country and its people from probable ruin; indeed, many anti-Trump voters have already enthusiastically volunteered to contribute to the fines such electors may face – and though precedent may dictate that the members of the Electoral College act in accordance with the majority votes of their states, you need not vote purely by majority either. It falls to you, our chosen electors, to keep the United States from falling into the hands of such dangerous demagogues as Donald Trump and his running mate. Precedent, after all, has no more power than we choose to give it: we may establish a new one at any time. It is far more meaningful and powerful to observe the will of the American people, to give us the President that the majority of us chose, than to uphold a tradition that has become archaic and unsuited to our modern nation.

Donald Trump has shown us time and time again that he intends to strip basic human rights and protections from the minorities that, in fact, make up the majority of the United States. His most visible supporters are violent and hateful, attacking those they perceive as “other” without provocation, and Mr. Trump has refused to condemn this, on several occasions even encouraging it: the accounts are seemingly endless, and since the election have only continued to escalate. We cannot accept this. We cannot be satisfied with a candidate who is supported and endorsed by such groups as the Ku Klux Klan and the American Nazi Party, or individuals like Omar Mateen, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-Un. We should not even consider, let alone put in office, such a candidate. His values are in flagrant opposition to those upon which this country was founded, and those in which we as a nation claim to take such pride – and all of this says nothing of the downright inhumane beliefs and policies of his running mate, which quite frankly could fill many pages of their own.

In addition to personal prejudices and questionable ethics, which on their own render him a profoundly inappropriate candidate, Mr. Trump has demonstrated a total lack of understanding when it comes to almost every aspect of the position he seeks. His stances on economics have been declared outright dangerous by hundreds of experts, even highly conservative ones from his own party; his disrespect and disregard for the judicial system puts the entire system of checks and balances at risk; his statements on foreign policy make global war a near-certainty. His history as a businessman tells us we can expect financial failures, abuses of status, and a staunch denial of responsibility – hardly a promising prospect for a Commander in Chief. He invents information to suit his personal agenda, creating a perpetual stream of lies and misinformation, but refuses to admit to any wrong or wrongdoing, and he is quick to attack any critic, yet hypocritically even quicker to criticize. He has been cited for a shocking number of human rights violations in his many (often failed) business ventures, and instances of fraud and refusal to pay workers are well documented. We cannot expect a man who thinks himself above the law, who evades and manipulates it to his own advantage whenever possible, to uphold and enforce it fairly – and therefore, we cannot allow this man to occupy the Oval Office. Donald Trump does not represent the best interests of the American people: if anything, he represents all that we should be ashamed of. He is an embarrassment to the Republican Party that nominated him, to the individuals who voted for him, and, if he is permitted to take office, to our entire nation.

A number of authorities on law and American government have warned that many of Mr. Trump’s propositions are in violation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights (particularly the First and Fifth Amendments, as well as the Fourteenth). The American Civil Liberties Union has gone as far as to make a list of these violations – and this list is not a short one. He is patently and unapologetically racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim, sexist, anti-gay, disrespectful of veterans and of the disabled. He wants to gut education and healthcare, particularly for those for whom access to those things is already limited. He has been accused of sexual harassment and assault by dozens of women across several decades, and seems not only unashamed of this, but downright proud. Though the charges against Mr. Trump for the rape of a thirteen-year-old girl have recently been dropped, legal action for such a crime should constitute disqualification from even running for the Presidency, let alone being granted it in opposition to the popular vote. Putting him into power in spite of all this sends a clear and terrible message to the American people. Women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, non-Christians, and the disabled are being told in no uncertain terms that their nation does not value them, that their voices and perhaps even their very lives are inconsequential – and the people who harbor hatred in their hearts for members of any of those groups are hearing validation for that hatred. This is Trump’s America: a nation in which the powerful minority treats all those different from themselves, who seek only justice and equality, with unprovoked violence and vitriol. Discrimination, inequality, and injustice cannot “make America great.” What greatness we have comes from the diverse voices of our many people, and to silence any of those voices can only diminish us all.

Donald Trump is, in short, unfit to serve as President of the United States, and a majority of American voters said so on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is perhaps the most qualified candidate to have ever run for President of the United States. She has served this nation and its people for decades, and her platform promises to uphold the rights of all Americans, regardless of race, religion, sex or sexuality, in addition to making clear and progressive statements of policy. A Clinton Presidency guarantees to uphold the securities that a Trump Presidency would destroy, socially, economically, politically, and environmentally. Most important of all, though, is the fact that she is the one chosen by American people to be our next President: she has our vote. It is therefore the undeniable duty of the Electoral College to ensure that Mrs. Clinton, and not Mr. Trump, is the one to take the oath on Inauguration Day. The future of our nation hangs in the balance.

This is a turning point for the United States of America. We, the People, turn to you.

On December 19, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots. If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, they can vote for Hillary Clinton if they choose. Even in states where that is not allowed, their vote would still be counted, they would simply...

THERE’S STILL HOPE
