Election Reflection: Alex Yang C'19
(11/10/16 9:32am)
I am not an American citizen. I was not born here, and yesterday, I did not have the privilege to cast my vote. But I grew up believing - and still do believe - that this is the greatest nation on this Earth, and the greatest leader the world has ever known. So when the results streamed in, I asked the same question as many of my peers - how could this happen? The answer is hardly elusive - people voted according to what resonated with them, and supported the candidate they felt would protect their interests. We can never underestimate the capacity for hatred.
