Hello Friends!
So the time has come. Someone somewhere decided many moons ago that America's voting age should be 18. This being said, it is our first time (us being college freshman/soon to be sophomores) to vote in a presidential election! I am so excited. I couldn't think of a better time to be able to exercise my rights and make my vote count. Hopefully America is about to see some big changes. My biggest concern regarding the election has to do with, how do we decide who to vote for? It seems that everyone running has a plan for America's change and everything they are pushing in their campaign is going to "save" the nation. How can we really trust the information we get anyway? Politician's and the media are full of lies, right? And what about picking a political party? I grew up in a Republican household but have not always agreed with my parents politics. At the same time I don't necessarily feel I can align myself 100% with the democratic party. I see the danger in being a fence-sitter and never picking a side for fear of not wanting to deal with political drama, yet I also think it is just as bad to pick a party and support it 100%, no questions asked, or knock a candidate immediately, simply because they are of the opposite political party. Anyway, I digress. Like I previously mentioned, I am excited to learn more about the election, the candidates etc. Here's a little satirical video my mom showed me today I hope you enjoy it. At least I am not the only one who feels conflicted about the election. But really, can there be a perfect American President?
Good Learning,
K.
