I recently asked a kid in my class who was wearing a Donald Trump shirt, “why?”, I wasn’t being rude I was just simply asking why he was voting for Trump. This kid replies, “he speaks his mind.” In my opinion, this was complete and utter ignorance. I can speak my mind very, very well but does that mean I should be elected for president? No.
This got me on a tangent on how people can be completely blinded when it comes to politics. This kid obviously had no insight into the political world and was voting. All I can say is, please don’t vote unless you have knowledge about what’s going on and definitely don’t vote for idiotic candidates. :)

The ongoing insecurity, is voting a right or a privilege or something to be earned? You could start a flame war with this post. :o
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you that there are many uninformed voters going to the polls voting for candidates that could jeopardize growth for the United States. Donald Trump always says what he is going to do if he becomes president, but not how he is going to accomplish what he wants to do. It is nice to see a presidential candidate's layout on how they will fix problems within our country. You truly never know if a presidential candidate will stick to their word and do what they said they would do before they get elected as president. It’s always best to read their platform to see what they truly stand for and see if you agree with them. Watching the debates is always good and informing, but reading the platforms are more informative. It truly doesn’t matter what political party you are in, there are so many uninformed voters. They are on all sides of the voting spectrum ranging from voting for the president to voting for your representative.
