Long-Answer Response

1. Answers may include several possibilities; one strong subplot is the conflict between best friends David and Efrén. The inciting incident for the trouble they experience is Efrén’s realization that Jennifer Huerta would in fact make a better president than David. Later, Efrén cannot help but voice his opinion that David should have a genuine platform; David is upset by this, then swears off their friendship altogether when Efrén runs for the office himself. The climactic moment of this subplot occurs when Efrén discovers the vandalism of his posters and worries that David did it.
