With the wonderful election nearing closer on the horizon, many people still do not feel they have a good enough reason to vote. So I've complied a list of 16 reasons why you should take the time and share your voice this electoral season.
1. Supreme Court judge choosing
The next person to be elected president will be able to fill enough seats in the Supreme Court to sway to votes in the favor of their party. That will then put both the court and a section of Congress in their favor. So, it will be much easier to get bills passed into laws. Think about the reforms these candidates want to put in place, do you really want that?
2. Immigrant Reform
Speaking of reform, I'm sure you all know of at least one person that is close to you that is an immigrant. Contrary to popular belief, this doesn't just apply to hispanics. Now how would you feel if that close friend or family member of yours just got plucked up and sent back to their country? Yeah, that's what I thought.
3. Healthcare Reform
Because we can't just idly sit by while people with life threatening conditions aren't being treated because they don't have insurance.
4. The 1% keeps getting richer
Seriously guys, does no on else see this as a problem?
5. Regardless of what you may think, you vote DOES matter
Even if you vote for a third party, those votes are counted and taken into consideration for future elections. We may start small but a difference can be made.
6. Politics are screwed enough, don't let people get away with murder
This one speaks for itself.
7. You can't complain if you don't vote
Seriously, I don't want to hear it. Go vote.
8. Free stickers, duh
Again, this speaks for itself.
9. Dude, you can even vote for yourself, just go
10. Millennials are the key constituency to EVERY election
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Why is this such a hard concept for our generation to grasp?
11. It's your constitutional right
Take advantage of the few rights you get the opportunity to exercise.
12. Like seriously, not everyone can do this
Not every country is a democracy.
13. No one else thinks about the college students
If we just let people like the elderly go out and vote, no one is going to look out for the things that will affect our generation.
14. A bigger turnout is more representation
If we all do it, people will listen.
15.It's not just for president
We're electing more than just the big guy here, people running for state and other local offices can have even more of an immediate impact in your life.
16. Because why the heck not?
Seriously guys, just go vote.
That being said, I'll see YOU on election day.
