I’m not endorsing Michael Moore’s views, but I think his latest film, Slacker Uprising, has some truth to it: Most people my age don’t vote on Election Day, either because they feel it doesn’t matter, or because they find it they don’t know enough.
I’ve always been of the idea that if you don’t exercise your right to vote, you can’t exercise your right to complain later. If you vote for whoever ends up being in power, and you agree with what they’re doing, then that’s great. If you voted against them, at least you know you tried, and you know, there’s always next time (Being a Calgary Flames fan, I’ve had to use that phrase more often than I wish I did).
My point is, go out there and vote on Tuesday morning. I don’t care who you vote for, just go and do it. If you don’t vote because you feel your vote doesn’t count, then you’re proving yourself right, by making sure your vote is not included.
Election Day will be right after Thanksgiving. I think that a way of being thankful for living in a country and a time where you can vote, no matter your gender, race, or political views, is something to be very, very thankful for.
Come on guys, let’s do it.
