Umm… Okay. I think this was a really cool idea, to have the west middle school kids vote like a mini election.

I’m not finished either. The only reason that I’m not horrified with Biden being elected, is because Republicans still have control over the Senate. In 2008, when Obama was elected, they had the power to all 3 branches, and they could’ve pushed all sorts of tyrannical laws while Socialist Democrats, A.K.A. progressives, had power. Luckily they just sat around having a blast because they could do whatever they wanted, so a red wave came through in 2010, and they lost their reign. If it wasn’t for that, our country would be in ashes, and if these VIOLENT RIOTS keep going on, which are started by the LEFT WING MOB, we’ll go down in flames. I’m not afraid to back up my opinion because I have facts, logic, and evidence to back up everything I say, unlike Biden supporters.

It is frightening to see the idiocracy of this country’s people. People have gone back and looked at Joe Biden’s history, and in his 47 years, with 8 spent as Vice President, he has done virtually nothing to further this glorious country, but in just 4 years, Donald Trump has done more for the economy, more for the black community, more for the suburbs, than any other president who has been in office WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS. I’m not a Republican or a Democrat, and I’m not a registered voter, but I have a brain that functions, and if I could vote, I would vote Trump 2020.

Not these trumpets in the comments, some of yall should do your research and at least have some common sense before saying, “Trump’s better because he’ll let up back in school even if there’s no vaccine.” Do you want to get sick? You wanna take the risk and say Biden sucks because he wants to lower the risk of the virus? Go off I guess. lol

I think Trump should have more votes because Biden he is too scared to do anything and he will ruin the army

Biden will let us go to school when the vaccine is created, would you rather go to school knowing that there is about an 80% chance you get covid or, go to school knowing that there is a vaccine and a very little chance you get covid?

Biden is only keeping us at home to keep us safe. I would love to go back to school but I would rather be safe. Besides, at least we can still have school in general.
CLAYTON DAULT • Oct 28, 2020 at 9:40 am
You all know that Trump is way better.
TRUMP 2020
Riley Demeester • Oct 28, 2020 at 8:29 am
Listen I’m in it for Trump if Biden is elected he will lock our state up and we will NEVER be back to school he will only let us back to school when there’s a vaccine. TRUMP ON THE OTHER end will let us go back to school with certain percedures but at least we don’t have to wait for a vaccine to come out stupid Biden.
SO PLEASE VOTE TRUMP!!!!
