Now I’ve thought about everything you’ve said for the past few hours and really tossed ideas on just how I’d respond to such a deep, very intimate question like this. First off I’m very pleased that you value my opinions so deeply on such a complicated subject and I’ll do my best to meet your inquiry with this response. Also I’m very intrigued with what you’re working on and if you want to send me a link I’d be very gracious to read through it!

I understand where you’re coming from, American elections are full of diversity. Though I don’t believe race plays a big role when it comes to including diversity. I think it is crucial, don’t get me wrong, but one thing I think is important is the diversity of ideas. Following the 2016 election I’ve noticed that blue collar people are beinging to partake in elections. In my state there’s a Democrat who’s of Cambodian descent named John Risener who’s a caregiver and who is outraged with how elderly, and developmentally disabled people are treated within our system. He’s building a noble following and there’s even out of state support that he’s been getting lately too. Ideas are so diverse and a lot of these people who aren’t paid off are really starting to build themselves up.

I do believe that it’s important to feature people of different nationalities, races, religions, and even sexual orientations just remember that in the political spectrum your characters should have ideas and principles. Featuring the pencil pushing politicians who are bought off by corporate endorsements is important but also remember the ‘Robin Hoods’. What I mean by the Robin Hoods is the people that aren’t paid off by municipal endorsements and are slowly building a following through getting the voices of the people out there.

It’s hard to create a realistic political event in fan fiction. Just pay attention to national politics, but also don’t forget what’s going on locally because ideas are spinning around everywhere. See who’s falling apart and why they’re failing. Also be sure to pay attention to those that are gaining notoriety and speaking up for the people. I hope this can in some ways answer your questions. I’m very interested to continue on if you so desire.
