Co-Editors in Chief Spill Their Tea on the Election
GABY: So what do you think of the
election?
NAZ: I’m glad Biden won. Even though I know he’s
not that great, he’s definitely better than Trump.
I want my rights, as a bisexual person, as a woman of color,
I’d like to keep those. And with the way the Supreme Court is
going, I feel a lot more comfortable having a
Democrat in the White House.
GABY: Have you seen those memes of Melania Trump
and Kim on their way to go vote for Biden instead of their
husbands?!
NAZ: YES! I saw that one earlier today!
It was amazing.
GABY: Anyways, what do you think of Biden
choosing Kamala Harris as his VP?
NAZ: Let me be honest with you, I don’t know that much!
About either Biden or Kamala Harris, because a lot of what we
focus on as a generation is Trump and all the stuff he’s done.
And I know there’s probably some shady stuff they’ve both done,
but at this point, when it comes to basic human rights,
I just stick to Biden. It kind of scares me, I am scared!
GABY: I just started looking at the propositions…
NAZ: Oh, in California they just voted ‘no’ on
Affirmative Action
GABY: I know!
NAZ: It sucks that we have to wait another four years to
vote in a presidential election. But at least there are
other elections every year. And, did you see that they
gave felons back the right to vote?
GABY: Oh yeah! That’s good! I was thinking
of saying ‘yes’ to that one, too, if I could have voted.
I was looking at all the ways it’s leaning right
now on the propositions, and it seems like
California doesn’t like change!
NAZ: Yeah, like all the things that could be like a good
thing for society possibly, they’re voting ‘no’ on.
GABY: It might be because it’s like the system is
okay right now, why change it you know?
NAZ: And also because the main thing right now is the
presidential election, and there didn’t seem to be a lot of
attention on propositions this time around.
GABY: I’m looking at the map of the election,
and the fact that there is seemingly more red states
than blue states just feels weird.
NAZ: Am I scared that I’m seeing a bunch of red states
right now? Low-key yeah.
GABY: Yeah, but then I think, these are all country states,
with less population, so they have less electoral votes.
NAZ: But we already know that Trump is going to
throw some type of fit since Biden won.
GABY: Yeah, he’s already suing places, who
knows where this is going to go. But now that we have more of a
decision that had been made, there’s probably going
to be some riots. There have been a lot of celebrations in
different parts of the country, so that gives me some
kind of hope, but there are still a lot of Trump supporters that
are pretty angry.
NAZ: Yeah, so one way or another there’s probably
gonna be riots of some kind. So it’s like, that’s scarier,
thinking of the riots and violence.
GABY: I haven’t seen the country so divided
like it is now. It’s crazy.
NAZ: Now I’m just thinking, is that serious?!
It sounds insane, all the talk going around.
GABY: So overall, what do you think of Biden’s win?
Did he deserve it?
NAZ: Well yeah, obviously! We don’t want
Trump in office again!
GABY: Yeah, I agree! What do you think of
Trump’s claims?
NAZ: I think Trump’s overreacting, he seems immature.
And I don’t really like how it reflects on our country,
it’s embarrassing. He just needs to concede.
GABY: Yeah, I definitely agree. It just seems a
little bit like a childish situation. But, I guess now
it’s just time to wait and see what happens. We’re just
scared for our lives, but our generation is known for
making a mockery of our own suffering.
