Despite significant Muslim support for Donald Trump during the election, driven by opposition to the Biden administration’s Middle East policies, disappointment has arisen among these voters over several of his cabinet appointments. This dissatisfaction is particularly focused on the Secretary of State pick and other key positions. Furthermore, Trump’s nomination of Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel, given Huckabee’s pro-Israel stance, has added to this concern.

As a US voter, I can’t help but feel a sense of embarrassment when looking at the current political landscape. The recent poll showing that 63% of Americans view both Biden and Trump as embarrassing is not surprising to me. These two candidates, who are supposed to represent the best of the two major political parties, have left many feeling disillusioned and disheartened.
The fact that both candidates are seen in a negative light by a majority of the population speaks volumes about the state of our political system. It’s disheartening to think that the two individuals vying for the highest office in the country are viewed with such contempt by such a large portion of the electorate.… Continue reading
As an individual who finds themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the upcoming election, I can’t help but resonate with the frustration and anger expressed by many voters who are faced with the daunting task of choosing between Biden and Trump once again. The sentiment of resignation and dismay is all too palpable, especially when the choices seem to be between the lesser of two evils rather than candidates that truly align with our values and beliefs.
The notion of being a ‘double hater’ in this scenario is both relatable and disheartening. To be in a position where one detests both candidates but is compelled to make a decision is a predicament that many of us find ourselves grappling with.… Continue reading
As a young voter, the state of American politics feels bleak and disheartening. The idea of being governed by a group of individuals who are several decades removed from the reality of the average citizen is disconcerting. The decisions being made today will impact the future of generations to come, yet those who will be most affected are not adequately represented. The disconnect between the older generation in power and the younger generation striving for change is painfully evident.
The political landscape is unsettling, with voices advocating for regressive policies that threaten hard-fought freedoms and rights. The resurgence of archaic beliefs regarding women’s rights, LGBT rights, and reproductive rights is deeply troubling.… Continue reading
I have been a lifelong GOP voter, but in 2016, my perspective began to shift. At that time, I was more right-leaning and held the belief that both sides had flaws, but liberals were worse. However, the Trump era changed everything for me. I saw the chaos, divisiveness, and lack of leadership that characterized his presidency, and it became impossible to ignore. The Republican Party, which I had aligned with for so long, began to reveal its true colors – prioritizing the interests of the wealthy and powerful over the well-being of the American people.
Hillary Clinton, someone who had been demonized by the GOP for years, began to make sense to me.… Continue reading
I always prided myself on being a Gay Black Republican, believing that my values aligned with the party’s core principles. I actively participated in discussions and defended my stance, confident that I belonged. But as I reflect on recent events, I can’t help but feel a sense of betrayal wash over me. The party that I once proudly identified with has revealed its true colors, and it turns out, they were never in alignment with mine.
I turned a blind eye to the lies, the intolerance, and the outright hatred that the party directed towards others. I chose to ignore the signs, hoping that I would be the exception.… Continue reading
Disillusioned Americans are losing faith in almost every profession. It’s a troubling reality that seems to be growing more apparent with each passing day. People are becoming increasingly skeptical of those in positions of power, whether they be politicians, CEOs, or even journalists. The trust that was once bestowed upon these professionals is eroding, leaving many feeling disillusioned and betrayed.
One of the primary reasons for this loss of faith is the blatant disregard for the majority of citizens in favor of catering to the wealthy elite. Just under half of the country wants to continue to cut taxes for the wealthy, eliminate the minimum wage, and remove regulations that protect the average worker.… Continue reading
