Election Reflection: Darlene Hodge Rodriguez C'20
(11/10/16 8:59am)
This election filled me with so much hate and anger. My heart was heavy and the way I was feeling was incredibly unfamiliar. I was a zombie going to class this morning. I kept thinking about how small I felt. How my vote hadn’t mattered. How this was how Americans really felt—they would rather a racist, xenophobic, homophobic sexist over a well-qualified woman. It hurt so much that I had to swallow my pride to even vote for Hillary, and it still wasn’t enough.
