Yesterday (Jan. 10), President Barack Obama made his final speech as President to the nation. During his speech, he thanked First Lady Michelle Obama for being with him all these years. He also thanked Vice President Joe Biden, even calling him his best friend. He urged the voters to be active and said "If you're tired of arguing with strangers on the internet, try to talk with one in real life". He then spoke about how he will continue to make change as a voter, just like all Americans can. When he spoke of the transition of power with Trump, the crowd booed, which he quickly shut down, saying it was a part of American democracy, and will be peaceful.
The question is asked then, does a two-party system still work in our nation? The Founding Fathers did not build our constitution with the intention of our nation to be a two-party nation. Could this election prove that it isn't right? Half the country wasn't crazy about either candidate, they just voted for the one they hated the least.
