Youth Politics

I’m a bit distracted right now with personal issues, so I haven’t been posting as regularly as I usually do.

We’re on the home stretch of the election season with voting only six days away. I want to commend all of those in college or otherwise out of state who turned in their absentee ballots to vote in this historic election. I have a feeling the youth turnout will be much bigger this time around, and I am pleased that I know so many of my friends who actually took the time to receive their absentee ballot, fill it out, and turn it in.

For those youths and others who are not out of state and can vote on November 4th, make sure to do so. Remember, not voting is the equivalent of accepting the elected president, whomever it may be. Sure everyone does have to accept the candidate who wins, but those who don’t vote I don’t believe get the right to say, “no I didn’t want that guy”, because by not voting, you automatically accept that others know what’s best for you.

I for one, will make sure to make my own decisions and not have anyone else tell me who should be the next president. If you feel the same way, definitely make it out to the polls. I look forward to seeing a much higher youth voter count this election season, so make sure to get out there and vote!
