For better or for worse, November 8th is just around the corner. This election has felt pretty “tricky” for many people. Many seem to prefer one candidate to the other while others are unsure and don’t like both candidates. Some have even gone to the extreme to decide that they don’t even want to vote in this election cycle. Here are 4 reasons why THAT IS A MISTAKE and why you SHOULD vote in this up coming Presidential Election.
1. We are lucky enough to live in a country that gives us the right to vote. Don’t waste this right.
There are many countries throughout the world whose citizens don’t even have the right to vote and it seems they never will. Living in a democratic country like the US, we tend to forget that we are SO incredibly lucky to live in the US and have the right to voice our opinions to members of government. Some people would DIE for the rights we have.
2. Deciding NOT to vote gives power to the candidate you do not want to see in office.
By NOT voting you are giving more power to the candidate that you do not want to see in office. You have the right to change this, so why not contribute! If you don't agree with either candidate, suck it up and vote anyway!
3. EVERY VOTE MATTERS
It doesn’t matter who you are, that one box or bubble that you check or circle off actually does matter! Even if it seems like it does not!
4. What's the point of having the opportunity to vote if we don’t act on that opportunity?
Again I cannot stress how INCREDIBLY LUCKY we are to have the right to vote in this country. So you don’t agree with any of the candidates, suck it up and go vote! Sitting on your couch and watching the results pop up on the TV will do nothing!
WE ALL MATTER. YOUR VOTE MATTERS. Go to the polls on November 8th and use your right as a U.S. citizen to make a change to our country.
