Following the Democratic Debate Crisis


Considering that only eight million Americans tuned into the democratic debate last night, and that Americans are constantly asking for a powerful, educated and experienced leader to lead them out of their current socio-economic status, I think it is of primary interest for the deaf public to be informed and to be knowledgeable in the platforms that each candidate runs on.
Last night after the contentious democratic debate took place Politico, a prominent political journalist organization, published an article wherein they established the main points established by Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. In the overlook both Clinton and Sanders based their arguments on the idea that the United States is in a state of despair and need of repair. On the one hand, Bernie Sanders came in as a hopeful fighter who often used ideas of a poverty, referring to the state of the nation as that of "Grapes of Wrath", to introduce concepts of equality in the work place, equality in the notion of race, and a chance for those immigrants who live in a place they call home. Such views, along with the connected idea of courage and valor produced a positive message and made Bernie the likable character of the night. In the other hand however, Clinton came in as a critical politician who pointed out Bernie's inexperience in the field of foreign affairs and an anti-democrat who, like other Republicans, made a farce of current President Barack Obama.
In the end, it is up to the viewer's discretion to identify who the true winner was. But Bernie's constant inability to transmit a viewpoint or simply respond a question, made him a questionable candidate. After all, what is it that the public seeks in their candidates? A person who serves as great inspiration during times of hardship, or an experienced critic who speaks of experience rather than change? Whichever it may be, the public needs to watch the debates, and voice their questions before it is too late. After all, a government works best for those that participate.
