Hashtagging the Debate

I was in class so I wasn't able to watch or listen to the debate but I followed my timeline on twitter. I follow some friends as well as many professional athletes. There really wasn't any tweets that were providing any real information or true opinions from what was happening during the debate. There were several people who would make light of the debate. One tweet that I saw a few times that was being retweeted said "Why don't we give them both a set of boxing gloves and whoever wins can be the next President, otherwise how do you choose between them." There were others that would say maybe we should just wait another 4 years. Another one said I think we have taken the phrase anyone can become president too far. There wasn't a whole lot of actually commenting on the actual debate or what was happening.

It is sad for me to see the turmoil in our country and that it seems almost nobody is excited for this election. People aren't really talking about the different points such as immigration/foreign policy, education, the economy and other important issues. Instead people would rather see them put on boxing gloves and fight to see who wins. It is very disheartening. Hopefully the millennials and younger generation will start to pay more attention to politics and become more involved in state politics which will then affect the way our state representatives affect different issues that are brought up and will truly share the voice that we have.
