As the 2016 presidential election rolls along, it is often difficult to be unable to vote. If I cast my opinion outward into the world, I am often viewed as "mainstream" or that I "just don't understand the system."

Now I know what you must be thinking, I'm under the age to vote, so I mustbe throwing my support behind Vermont Senator, Bernie Sanders. Don't get me wrong, I can understand why millennials would "feel the Bern," but being someone who doesn't enjoy warm weather, I didn't partake in those events.

Personally, if I were of voting age, I would vote for the GOP candidate Donald Trump. It's hard to see such a dedicated man being slammed by social media platforms by being called a racist, misogynist, or being compared to Adolf Hitler. Republicans are burning their voting registration papers in a viral trend because they refuse to support Donald Trump. If you were really a Republican, you would support the nominee to avoid another Democratic President from destroying this country furthermore. This country would be a sinking ship, don't be the captain.

So now that you understand my views, I believe that it would be appropriate to explain my reasoning on how it is hard to be a minor that is interested in politics.

People say that I cannot express myself in terms of who I want to win this presidential election, just because "it doesn't affect my future." Um, excuse me? I might not be paying taxes, but I'm still a human being living in this economy. I was raised in this generation of technology, and the only thing I'm okay with crashing is my Internet. Not my economy.

I'm also told that my opinions are irrelevant simply because I am not of voting age. Does this mean that I can tell a child they cannot mention how amazing the view from the car window is just because they have to sit in a booster seat? That would just be outrageous. So, how is anything these people are doing any different?

I understand that I am not physically able to vote. But I do not need to silence my opinion because I cannot act upon it
