There is no doubt that this is an election that will be remembered for generations. In my opinion, it is one of the most crucial elections of our time. With two candidates that are both widely criticized (of course, one more than the other), the emphasis has not been put on who to vote for, but just to vote. It is our privilege and duty as Americans to exercise our right to elect a leader who will continue to build upon the progress we have already made. That can only happen if we vote.
I’m sure each of you have heard countless ads and seen endless commercials about going out and getting your vote on. If I have learned anything about being a millennial, it’s that it is very difficult to grab our attention, especially when it comes to less exciting topics like politics. Campaigners can give us as many fliers as they want, but odds are not all of us young people are going to listen. In the midst of all the election craziness, one college student saw an opportunity to get his message out in the best way that he knew how: through music.
If you walk around any college campus in America, you will see students with their headphones in walking to class and listening to music while they study. Most young people are constantly listening to music, live or otherwise. We respond to the sound and the lyrics. So it was easy for this Central Florida student to realize that if he made a song about the election, more people might actually listen. He utilized his musical talent and the convenience of social media to share his message. And that’s all he wanted to do—share his message. He believes so strongly that one candidate will try to dictate our freedom and send us back in time, disregarding any progress that we have made as a country. With the election coming up in a few days, this is a final plea to show everyone why this candidate cannot be elected. If you are still unsure of who to vote for, or if you are debating whether to even vote at all, watch his music video and share it on as many platforms as possible. I hope it will help you make a decision to not let our country fall into the wrong hands.
