Let Talk About…Why Your Vote Matters.

The road ahead may be long and difficult, but together, we can accomplish anything.

I know you are probably sick of talking about politics and the election at this point, but this may be one of the most important elections in American history.

Next week, we decide where we go as a country. Some of you may be disappointed by our choices. Some may be so tired of the bullshit system that you don’t vote out of spite and trust me I get it. But this is not the year to protest by not voting.

When we look back at history, plagues and pandemics are nothing new, its just something Americans haven’t had to deal with in centuries.

We have become immune to the fact that we aren’t just born immune to diseases because we are American.

By the time I am writing this many Americans will have already participated in our democracy by either mailing in their ballot or by voting early. The fact that in-person early voting turnout is the highest its ever been in addition to the highest number of mail-in ballots should be a huge sign that your vote matters and that this election matters.

If you are questioning whether or not you are going to vote, these may be some of the thoughts running through your mind right now:

In conclusion, the fact that we get to openly vote for the people who run our country is a blessing. There are still countries around the world that don’t participate in the same type of democracy. Our vote is our voice, and our voice matters. It always has and always will. When we are sick and tired of being sick and tired we are forced to change. This is America’s changing point and together we decide where we go as a country. Do we go to the moon? Or do we focus on kicking Miss COVID’s ass and sending her back where she belongs, taking care of the planet we have, and fighting for the rights of those whose voice has been silenced?

I personally think the latter sounds a lot better than trying to destroy another planet.
