Characters:

Tim Kaine

Teen Sit-out

 

TSO

Do you like all sheiks groups, like the ones, men’s beards knotted to their cheeks and their heads in folds of towels?

TK

Do you mean the Sikhs? They are the most peace-loving people on earth. Also very generous, serving free food to poor people every Sunday regardless of their race faith or gender.

TSO

Churches do that too! Soup kitchens every day of the week, but we don’t dress odd, some who do have some sort of identity problem. I just want to sleep through this election and not talk about anything.

TK

Didn’t you say you don’t want to vote for Hillary because she is for TPP?

TSO

Yes, she is for everything which Bernie doesn’t like.

TK

Truth is, Hillary is against TPP. Get your facts right before you judge.

TSO

Anyways, you cannot convince young people. We are not going to vote for Hillary.

TK

Speak for yourself before you make a sweeping statement. Do your duty. Take the responsibility of doing right, try to understand.

TSO

I understand alright. Hillary doesn’t have to convince us that she is the right candidate.

TK

What do you propose she do to convince you to vote for her?

TSO

I don’t know. Something?

TK

If you are not voting for Hillary, are you voting for Trump?

TSO

I don’t know.

TK

Do you know what Trump stands for?

TSO

To make America great again!

TK

In fact Trump is going to make US less by racism bigotry and violence you have already seen at his rallies.

TSO

Then I will not vote for anyone.

TK

Didn’t you hear First Lady say that we need to keep America great since it is the greatest country on earth?

TSO

What has she done for us? Black lives don’t matter. Police killing us.

TK

White Police being killed too. Violence has increased this election year since Trump started preaching hate. Do you think my life is safe if Trump gets elected?

TSO

You are white. You have nothing to fear

TK

I fear for both black and white if Trump gets elected. He attacks all Color whoever stands in his way. But there is hope.

TSO

Hope for what?

TK

To right the wrong done to us both black and white if we can educate young girls like you not to fall into the trap of Trump.

TSO

What do you mean?

TK

What I mean is that Trump’s vision of great America is white America.

TSO

What does it matter? You are white, Hillary is white. What’s the difference?

TK

Bernie is white, why do you support him?

TSO

For one thing he is raising minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour.

TK

Now you are talking. And Trump is lowering minimum wage to lowest than ever.

TSO

Who says that?

TK

Trump does, if you can go past his chant of Make America Great, you will hear what he says.

TSO

Now you are making some sense. I think I am beginning to understand. But why should I vote for Hillary?

TK

For she stands for the same values as Bernie does.

TSO

If I can only believe. We are all hurt because Bernie didn’t win. It’s all the fault of the Democrats wanting Hillary to win. All these WikiLeaks as if you don’t know.

TK

I know, other countries trying to play big role in our politics to divide us. Those emails have nothing to do with Bernie losing. Hillary has support of more voters than he does.

TSO

So why do you need my support?

TK

We need everyone’s support so that big countries trying to destroy us by dividing us can never boast that they are big winners. They will be happy if Trump succeeds to play his Trump of hate, racism, bigotry.

TSO

You are beginning to make sense again.

TK

I am hoping I can show you hope as a better future if you vote for Hillary!

TSO

How is that?

TK

You will have the opportunity to free college education. But don’t go to the Trump University, they will take all your money and you will learn nothing.

TSO

Now you are making fun of me.

TK

I am making fun of myself for talking bad about my fellow American whose madness has made us ashamed of US in front of the whole world.

TSO

Is that true?

TK

Go online, read comments of different countries. They all are laughing at us. Even Republicans are saying Trump is an embarrassment to their Party.

TSO

It’s all so confusing.

TK

Yet there is hope.

TSO

Where is that?

TK

Inside the hearts of all the young and the restless. Go dancing with the stars and make Hillary the First Woman President of America. We will stand proud and prosperous.

Laughter
