I when into U.S history classes to see their input on the election even though most could not vote. First I asked them if they knew who the other candidates were in the election with only one out of the two classes AP and Regular U.S history knowing the green party candidate Jill Stein and the gold party candidate Gary Johnson, mostly do to the high appearances of the the red(republican) and blue(democrat) party members Hillary Clinton and Donald trump in the news an all over social media pages, leaving little to know room in the mentions of the other candidates running. ● ● ● ● When asking the U.S history classes who they vote for and why i got 14 votes for Trumps out of the 53 people in the classes, though out of those who voted trump I got a more in depth reasoning to why they’d vote for him with some saying becauses ○ His ideas would strengthen our economy. ○ Sense he’s a successful businessman he can run are country as good as he runs his businesses. ○ he doesn't lie and more truthful. Though these being brief summarizations of their reasonings. Also when asking the U.S history classes who they’d vote for 24 out of the 53 said Hillary Clinton, most of them giving little reasoning behind their claim mainly stating because hillarys better than trump ,but even with the main lack of reasoning som said because: ○ Hilary is more certified ○ Because she's more open minded and has better ideas. Though also brief summarizations of the full reasonings. But though most choose between the two some also said neither or gave the political party member Bernie sanders though he had already dropped out of the race, but only one said Jill Stein thus showing the main candidates in the running for office and those most likely to become president.
