UNIVERSITY CENTER — With the November 3rd election creeping up on the country, those still undecided on a candidate are working towards choosing one they deem fit to run America for the next four years.
Coincidentally, if you’re hoping to find the answers on the campaign ads that have been popping up on the internet and TV for the last few months, good luck. The only thing each politician is stating in their campaign ad is how awful their opponent is.
Over the years, the United States Government has been experiencing political polarization, a major gap between political parties.
As Democrats and Republicans butt heads over their values and beliefs, so do most of their supporters. With the contrasting viewpoints of America, this election is monumental. So, take your time and decide which candidate you think is best suited for the job.
