Regarding the Presidential Election (PLEASE READ!)
9 years ago
Normally, I wouldn't post anything related to politics here, usually because I don't want to risk sparking drama or anything. However, this would be an exception. It's not the usual "Vote for the one I'm supporting because blah, blah, blah..." type of post. Instead, it's different from that.
As you all already know, Election Day is coming. I understand a lot of people are not too happy about the two major candidates running for office (and quite frankly, I, for one, don't think one of these two particular candidates would be anywhere near appropriate for the job). However, it is still very important to go out and vote. If you are a legal US citizen, are 18 years or more old, and are registered to vote, please vote. Let your voice be heard. I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. I'm here to tell you to let your voice be heard. The outcome of the election will be determined by the CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY. That could mean YOU.
Another thing I want to bring up is that, regardless of who becomes elected, even if it's the candidate you voted for, you shouldn't rely completely on the government to make or keep everything in our country great. There are things we, as citizens of this country, can do to make it better if we have to. This nation isn't just what our president makes of it. It's what we, the citizens of this country, make of it, too. JFK once said "Ask NOT what your country can do for you. Ask what YOU can do for your country". And he's completely right!
Lastly, as I stated earlier, I normally don't post things related to politics here, due to the possibility of starting arguments. I have never, I repeat, NEVER seen a political debate so heated, or a nation so divided, all because of a presidential election. I've seen people on social media block other people because of how they present their political views. That really shouldn't be happening. People shouldn't let politics end friendships like that. Instead of fighting against each other, we should really come together and "Make America Great Again" ourselves. This is OUR country. Whining about the state of our country isn't going to make it better. It's up to US to make it better if we have to.

Yeah, all of that true. In ma the presidential election doesn't matter, it could be a kitten named kennedy and it'd win over Abe Lincoln. Its heated and it seems like a fight for a lot more than the presidency.
