Should students vote?
United States citizens should take the opportunity to vote in this upcoming election so that their voice is heard.
A major reason people don’t vote in elections is because they think that one vote won’t make a difference. Although there are millions of people in the United States who are eligible to vote, every vote matters. For example, in the 2012 election only 56 percent of the population voted in the election. If the other 44 percentage of the population voted, the outcome could have been drastically changed.
The concept of democracy is that the peoples’ interests are represented, The only way to be truly represented in a democracy is to share opinions with the government, and the easiest way to do this is by voting.
Voting has the reputation of being an activity that takes a lot of time and effort to participate in. Before elections voters must register, and although the process may seem long and unnecessary registering to vote is not as hard as it has been in the past.
Many countries around the world don’t give citizens the chance to vote.
For example, in North Korea (a communist country) all the decisions are made by the dictator, the people have no say in policies that affect them. By not voting, citizens are taking for granted how much infl uence they have in the
government.
Voting is also one of each and every citizen’s civic duty. By skipping an election people are disobeying but the wishes of the founding fathers.
Everyone who is eligible to vote should vote. If don’t vote in an election
your voice can’t be heard.
Voting in the upcoming election is highly unadvised.
The 2016 presidential race has proven to American’s across the nation can have not just one but two entirely horrific and unfi t individuals running for president.
Though, not voting may appear like an immensely bad decision since America stands on a democratic foundations, the candidates in their simplest form
are: a constant liar and a sexist, racist “business man”.
The options of Clinton or Trump are so outrageously bad that individuals would be better off saving themselves the tragedy that is picking between Clinton or Trump and instead, begin to make accommodations for life with either terrifying president leading America into failure.
However, regardless of one’s political ideology, these candidates are seriously no where close to president material.
Trump’s temper always set to combust, and Clinton who has proven time and time again that trust is something she cannot guarantee, the reality that one will reside in the oval offi ce is actually frightening.
Not voting, may to be appear to be a entirely hopeless solution to the decisions of who to vote for, but this is entirely hopeless election. Both have certainly proved that they will not “make America great again” or that we will be “stronger together” under their presidency.
Though, for those who cannot fathom the thought of not exercising their freedom of speech rights, one can always vote for a third party candidate, and lucky for them are three different third party candidates to choose from.
Both presidential candidates present their own closet of horrors that one can only dream will be brought upon the American populace if that candidate is elected. So avoid the crisis that is voting and instead google some cheap plane tickets.
