You’re done with the memes, but you totally still checkout those dank Bernie ones
Your friend agrees to pregame the debate with you
You explaining how evil Trump is
Some days you’re ready to die for your candidate
But other days you’d rather have someone else take the mic and just be backup
You are invalidated and generalized as a young voter
Cruz’s personality and face making everybody be like
Trump be like
Every time you school someone in a comment section, class discussion, or DC conversation
Somebody brings up the election when you are not in the mood
Somebody says, “You know Trump does make some valid points…”
You listening to your candidate speak
When you start getting involved and remember voter registration is a thing
When your friends join you in your political activism
When your candidate wins because you and your friends got involved and remembered voter registration is a thing
Less than 25% of you (18-29 year olds) will actually vote in a presidential election and about 10% less of you (18-29 year olds) will vote in local mid term elections where turnout matters the most and where the results will affect our everyday lives exponentially more. While it’s easier to brush it off, think about stepping up. You don’t have to be a Hamilton level revolutionary, but you can at the very least try and stay informed and definitely mail in or show up and vote.
That way on election night we can be like this
Instead of us having to be like this
