4 SUPER Important Lessons We Can Learn From The First 2020 Presidential Debate

We all have our own opinions on what happened tonight at this debate between President Trump and Former Vice President Joe Biden. Yet we can all agree that we have learned things from this debate that will stick with us until the polls open in November.

1. Always be informed

Whether you are voting for the first time or the 50th, you need to be informed. Get to know each candidate and find out what they truly stand for. You might be a Republican leaning towards Trump or a Democrat leaning towards Biden. All that matters is finding out where you stand on your beliefs and where they line up.

2. Know the person they were

The past shouldn't define us, yet it does in so many ways. The past very much comes up in the way of wanting to become President. You truly need to look at the past of both candidates. Both of these candidates have done some not so good things in the past, but it all matters on where you want to settle your vote for the future

3, Who do you want your children looking up to 

This is the real question many parents should ask themselves. Who would they want their children looking up to? Would you want your children to be looking up to a bully and a man with past sexual assault charges on him? Or would you rather have your child look up to someone with a somewhat clean past, despite a few bad moments which he has admitted to. Who would you want your children looking up to?

4. How they have handled our current issues

Over the past few months we have had many things happen to us, the Black Lives Matter Movement and the crisis of Covid-19. We truly need to look at how these two men handled these situations, for better or for worse? What were the differences in how they each dealt with these situations. That is truly what matters, what they are each doing for the American people

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
