Republicans have a history of relying on young voters to not vote. They purposefully make young people feel discouraged; like no matter what, it won’t make a difference.
I don’t care if your state tends to always vote with one party. Get out and vote.
Especially in swing states, every single vote matters. Every. Single. Vote.
Mail in your vote. Go during your lunch break. Plan to take the day off. Your vote matters. In fact, it matters so much that people will purposefully try to sabotage you voting.
Here’s a guide on how to register to vote and how to check if you are registered. Plan ahead. Make sure you know how to mail in your vote or where voting booths will be.
Republicans have been so flippant towards Gen Z because of our historical hesitance to vote.
We have the power to make things at least somewhat okay.
I have seen so many people from Gen z saying voting for Kamala is hopeless because she’s a woman of color, citing past elections as proof.
That discouragement is purposeful. It’s been used for decades. And it’s been working.
This website is relatively young. Especially with a lot of older Gen z, including me, where this is their first or second election that they are eligible for.
Don’t listen to those saying voting is pointless. That there is no way Kamala will win so who cares? It’s absolutely okay to be frustrated and or wary, but don’t let that keep you from taking action.
Young voters are the key. Start planning on your vote now. Take it seriously. Your voice matters. Your vote matters.
