Reflections

It definitely goes back to the New Hampshire motto of Live Free or die. You know, just that the patriotism in New Hampshire is one of the most patriotic states. And it definitely being there in the primaries, you can tell and you understand that. I just remember like sitting there be like, wow, I really wish this was New York. Like it's just like the difference is, like, insane. Same. I was like, I just wish we were this involved and like, not shy to be so like political in our state. We are like everyone tends to like I have my views and I'm just gonna keep them to myself. New Hampshire doesn't care. They're like out there and about it and they're not afraid to speak to you. I spoke to people from the town and they were like, this is this is our time. So I find it really fun. Seems like most strangers or people you're passing by had stickers or buttons on and you just kind of knew like politics was in the air the whole time you were there. When? In New York. Because we have such a later primary. I feel like I don't remember that energy in the past elections. So I feel like that was kind of an invigorating for me. Like I wanted to go out and like start canvassing and like doing all this work for candidates so early on. And like just because it was in the air, I could feel the energy and how important it was to the state, which was kind of in contrast to our state. I am politically involved because of my family. They don't have the privilege to be politically involved because they are immigrants. So for me, it's like politics has always been a privilege and I have a right to vote. So I'm kind of their voice, which is really important to me. I get to be the one that votes for issues that matter to them as well. Me. So that's something that's super important to me. And I feel like that's the main thing of why I'm into politics. So many people are so hush hush about their political views. I think half our issue is we don't talk about things. We don't come to a mutual understanding. Everyone's so polarized that we're not able to have these conversations where we're able to get down to the bottom of things and see a common ground. And being in New Hampshire and being able to see people talk about and at the end of the day, does everyone agree? No. You don't have to, but at least you got to see the other side of it. And I think that's one of the things I love most about politics is just really coming to an understanding of, yes, that's how you feel and that's why you feel it. I think that's an incredibly important part of it. At the end of the day, politics always comes back and it affects all of us. You know, people have fought and have died for our right to vote and to be active and Beal to have to say. So it's so crucial that, you know, we go and vote. We are active citizens and, you know, we have our voices heard.

I think on the day of. At that point, they were that, you know, they they had done their hardest. What was going to be was going to be we went to people who the judges office for maybe 20 minutes, 30 minutes and just kind of tried to learn how their office works, how they prioritize canvassing and what neighborhoods and just really anything regarding their strategies, just taking it as an educational opportunity. We later went to Joe Biden's campaign office. We kind of compared and contrasted the two. There were starkly different. I think the coolest part, though, about being there, as you know, for the whole election night is especially at night. You know, we ordered a few pizzas. We all sat in a room. And just the conversations we were all able to have as a group was phenomenal because we as we've all said about 30 times here. You know, you don't talk politics. You know, you keep it within. It's kind of a hush-Hush topic. And to be with people where they wanted to talk politics and they love to talk politics. And it was informed conversation. It was so cool. It was amazing. And since then, when there's the debates we've been getting together and, you know, having our own little debate parties hit back here and Oneonta, because you really don't get to have that experience all too often. And being able to find a group of people who want to know a willing to hear, you know, you're opposing opinions and you're, you know, things you agree about upon. It's it's the coolest thing ever. You know, as a political science major, like, that's what you want.

Really, if you're a political science major and you get to meet these people up close and personal and really hear what they have to say and engage with their conversation, you feel like a superstar. I mean, it's, you know, the equivalent of meeting your favorite football player. It's an exciting time. I mean, I'm sending my mom and dad pictures of me, Anyang, me and Amy. You know, I shook Pete's hand. It was a really great experience. I went to a lot of town halls, which are like smaller Intermountain, tall C.A. Yang and Warren also had a town hall. And like, I feel like it's easily you get wrapped up, you're sitting there like, this is the one. This is the candidate for each candidate. And then you go out and you're like, wow, well, you kind of get shifted. We had the opportunity to go to Amy Colobus hours smaller event in Rochester, New Hampshire, which was like more small and rural. It was really cool because we were probably the only people under 25 there. And it was just a much more intimate. We were the first people in line. So we got really good seats up close by the stage. I felt like she kind of could gear her speech more towards the appropriate crowd that she was speaking to as opposed to the larger arena. There were differences in her speaking. So that was kind of cool to see the differences. Just being right there with him was very much different. And then he was went up the stairs and we all took a picture with him. So it was very personal. I also around the same day I went to the big Bernie rally, which is just a completely different atmosphere. I feel like it was more like a church setting where you're like you just feel the energy and you're like, happy to be there for that candidate. But when we went to Yang's event, it was really small and we were in like the second row. We were very close to him. And because the atmosphere was just really quiet and like my old man and I have. It was easier for me to remember, like what he said and the things that he wants to do. And for me, that was just that's more important than like how fun it was, because the ideas are what matters. And I will say over, you know, the five days we were there, I went in knowing exactly who I wanted. And by the end of the week, I definitely my my loyalties were split a little bit. Some of them really came and showed me their absolute best. And I was very impressed.

Section 209: Reflections from the New Hampshire Democratic dinner

Get pulling up to the event. It was just a wave of energy, was a super exciting event. And then once we got closer to it, there was people outside, outside with signs and posters are vermin supreme? He was outside. He had even had a pony with them. So it just very exciting. I feel like going through the Trump supporters was just like my professor. We were just walking through and it was like their energy was kind of negative. They're like, burn them. And I was like, I'm just a person just trying to get through something. Bullock Once you got past them, that's when you saw like all the Democratic sections of nominees look outside and they were more like, oh, look, take a Snapchat me or like this or that. It kind of reminded me of like high school pep rally in a sense, because like at one point Bernie's people brought out milk jugs and like water bottles and sticks and stuff to bring together make noise. While Mayor Pete was speaking, Bernie's people kind of started chanting something over his speech. And there's kind of a rivalry there between the P and Bernie people for a minute. Amy Klobuchar made like a shout out. She said, hey, Bernie, people during one of the contentious topics said they support more. And I was just kind of fun watching like each section have like a color and signs and just like chanting back and forth and like feeding off of each other. I was kind of like a fun competition. I like to describe it as like the Super Bowl for political science majors. It was amazing. At one cheering and yelling for their candidate, the whole arena was broken up into different sections. And then outside the arena there, just tons of different tabling events where he'll get free pens and shirts and take pictures like that with backdrops. It was a very exciting place to be. And you knew that being there you were with other people who had the same ideas as you, who really wanted change for our nation. And it was really cool to be in that type of environment. You're able to have some really different conversations that you're typically not able to have because everyone says don't talk about politics. But here was a time when, you know, everyone wanted to talk about politics. That was, you know, the main topic of discussion. And it was a phenomenal experience.
