Senator Sanders has captured the hearts of millions of Americans. Although some write him off as a crazy socialist we have to bypass that and think about all the things he would do for this country. Now that we live in a time where our civil liberties are in jeopardy Sanders seems to be the only one who cares. Despite his age he is able to empathize with all of the people wronged by our overarching government. You have to think to yourself do we want a president who fights for our rights, or the one who wants to deport millions?

How do you think we, as a generation will look like years from now electing a bigot as president? Or even worse, we elect a potential felon. Over the course of this election our generation has to step up and vote otherwise our voices won’t be heard. Keeping this election out of your interests could not be more dangerous

For all of the bad things this election may bring it, it also brings some good. An election between Trump and Hillary can only lead to an increase of support for third parties. Libertarians and the Green Party seem more and more attractive to voters who are against the idea of the “lesser of two evils.” Some may say a third party doesn’t stand a chance but I can’t think of two worse candidates to have in a general election. Everyone needs to get the idea in the brain that there is always another option.

For now, it looks like Bernie doesn’t stand a chance. Let’s not take this as defeat though as we can rally behind the ideas of the underrepresented parties. An overhaul of the two-party system is exactly what this country needs to stop the corruption in Washington. Go and vote this November, just remember that there are more than two options.
