Hillary Clinton is a fair opponent to Bernie Sanders. If she does end up winning the democratic primaries over Bernie I will glad vote for her over any and all republican candidates.
Where does she stand on the issues?
I think my favorite issue she is currently talking about is ending campus sexual assault. It is way overdue for rape to be ended. And the worst part is most rape victims don’t even come forward and say they’ve been raped and attempt to convict their rapists. Why? Well, that’s probably because they usually lose those fights. The estimate of women sexually assaulting while in college is one in five. Clearly there is something wrong with the system we have *cough cough rape culture* Another plus is that she has been supporting this issue for a while, so in all likelihood she will continue supporting it. She’s even focusing on prevention. Which, to be honest, to me, is where it all happens. It doesn’t make any sense for women to be taught that we always need to be careful by having a buddy whenever we walk places, and carrying a rape whistle and mace. And yet nothing is said to men about not raping! There’s a bit of a problem there. Men need to be started off being told not to force or maybe to put this in disgusting rapist terms ‘convince’ someone to any sort of sexual encounter.
She also plans to place more restrictions on guns. Now this isn’t quite the gun control I wish it was personally but it’s a start. (Did you know America is the only country with such a huge mass murder rate? coincidentally enough, we’re also the only country in which anyone over the age of 21 can buy a gun whenever they want. Hm.) America not only needs to start making more gun laws but, it should also consider banning them entirely. It’s a lot harder to kill someone when you don’t have a gun, much less multiple someones, much less twenty children and six staff members. I’m well aware that the south won’t go down without a fight, but it has gotten past the point of being ridiculous by now. The country as a whole would be much safer, and there would be plenty of other side bonuses, like the rate of suicides going down because the most fatal way is with a gun. Without one people have a better chance of being saved. Hillary will at least start the fight on gun control, and then later I’m hoping some one will finish it.
Although Hillary’s official websites lie, saying that she has always supported LGBT rights even though she stood against gay marriage in 2008, she has seemed to change with the majority of Americans over time. And we need a president that will support all Americans, and Hillary is seemingly willing to do so now.
Another important issue she s standing on is climate change and switching America over to clean energy. This is a necessity to not just America, but the whole freaking world. And this is not an opinion either, sorry guys, it’s proven facts. We are killing the earth with all of our different types of pollution and its ridiculous. We, and when I say we I mean the human race as a whole, only have one place to live. Earth. When we it dies, we die. So why haven’t we tried to at least cut down on the murder of this planet? Developed countries are the worst with pollution, America of course taking the lead. It’s past time we changed things around. We have the technology to change what we’re doing and cut down on pollution of all kinds, the problem is the people that are still convinced that climate change isn’t real and that wind turbines are an eyesore. You know what’s a bigger eyesore? The smog covering cities from all the pollution and people destroying the earth. Hillary plans to make enough renewable energy to power all American homes in ten years (which isn’t that hard to organically produce, mind you.) and to get more than half a billion solar panels installed across the country. One of my aunts just started having some solar panels installed at her farm and is pretty excited. Hillary is willing to go the distance to help extends the Earths life for a bit longer, which makes her alright in my book.
