How Do I Change My Vote?

29^th November 2024

 

Dear Madam Vice President,

 

In the wake of you loss in becoming the president proper many an American is feeling the pain. It was reported that Google searches for “How do I change my vote” surged on Election Day implying that many Americans voted against you in protest but really wanted you to win.

 

I can tell you that even a man who voted for Trump in his first election came to me and asked “what happened” stating that he had been on your side. I wish you could be our president but the world spoke and the law listened. We can only brace for what is to come hoping we can survive.

 

As the party, and the country as a whole, staggers bag and prepares for the time to come what happened is still the question on everyone’s lips by my own. After all, I know what happened. America didn’t feel that the current party could see to their economic needs and the world, not just America, shifted its leadership.

 

The pain at the bank and the pain at the grocery store out shine the moral compos of the world. The sad truth here is that the Democrats are for the people but they all too often fail to understand the people. Changing that is what should happen in the next four years.

 

Find a way to save the struggling people of this nation, because in four years you can try again and more of us will be struggling. We need good leaders now more than ever before. We need people like you.

 

Best,

In 2016

Okay, Boss,

You’re looking for a man in my age range who has an opinion on “2016”. I’m going to guess you mean the election here, but your instructions are to make a statement of one to two hundred words off the cuff without doing research. Well, here goes.

In 2016 the American people were given a choice between an entrenched politician and a wildcard who had conflicting methodologies. Clinton, the entrenched politician, preached a realistic attitude that foretold the fall of the coal industry and made no falsehoods about the change that was in the future of the country. Trump, wild card, preached a return to the golden age of America telling coal workers that he would protect their jobs. Faced with a dismal truth or a hopeful lie enough people accepted the lie as their best hope placing Donald Trump in power. Other factors tipped the needle in Trump’s direction like poorly timed investigation announcements and Russian interference. The Clinton camp thought it was a no contest win and got complacent. Any one of these could have been the tipping point for the election, but it is widely considered a wind gust victory for Trump.

That’s what comes off the top of my head anyway. I mean, I’ve looked at what happened a few times and have strong opinions of it, but that’s what I can sum it up as on the fly.

Best,



Richard Leland Neal
