Election Reflection

I was quite surprised that Donald Trump won the election instead of Hillary Clinton. Clinton won the popular vote with the American people however Trump won with the electoral vote. But then again, both nominees have a lot of hate towards them with their opinions like Trump's opinion on what to do with the immigration problem and Clinton's email scandals that were "deleted".  In my own opinion, I felt that we needed a different nominee for both parties (Democratic and Republican) since this year's nominees for president weren't really good.

Currently, I'm becoming more interested in the subject of politics since I would want to know how the system works to use it later on in a different election.  Honestly, I still remember as if 2012 was just a month ago easily and now 2016 is coming to end. In my opinion,  learning politics would be good to do since you would understand the political system better and learn how our government works.

Voting in an election is also something that's been in my mind for awhile. The idea of voting for someone to lead/govern us is fascinating already enough, making the idea wander in my mind. Since I won't be voting for a new president in 2020 (I'd be 17 by 2020), I'd probably prepare myself after the election of 2020. What I don't understand is that muilple parties are now involved in the presidential election. It'd be better to decide on voting between two parties instead of muilple since a lot of American citizens don't even know about them.
