The presidential election is coming up quickly. There are many people who have decided that they do not want to vote because they don't like either candidate. I think that this is the biggest mistake you could ever make. This decision is not only affecting you – but it is affecting the entire country as well.
The person who becomes the next president is going to make dramatic changes that will shape the future of this country. For me personally, this is my first election that I am going to be voting in. You would think that because of this most of the people my age would be eager to vote in the election, but this is not the case at all.
If you don't know which candidate you want to vote for, then use this website that my uncle introduced me to www.isidewith.com. It is better to take the limited amount of time it requires to educate yourself and make sure that the political stance you take is the one that actually best matches up with your ideologies. Especially in this presidential election, it is crucial to be an informed voter.
Your vote really can make a difference – the winner of the presidential election could come down to just a couple votes. That could be the difference between getting someone good in office vs. someone who is just going to create issues for this country down the line.
Most importantly, a while back United States citizens didn't even have this luxury of voting like we have now. While some people may view voting as a burden, at least we have the chance to figure out who we personally want running the country. Voting is something that I believe all citizens should partake in.
If you do not personally vote in the election, then you also have no ground to stand on if you decide to complain about the current or future political situation because you did not do anything to better the situation.
Overall, voting is a very crucial thing that some places still do not get to do. Take advantage of this privilege to have your voice heard and your concerns expressed.
