Not being a citizen of the United States has burdened me with the inability to vote. I used to not care about politics, I used to have a very low level of political efficacy, I used to think that even if I could vote, my vote wouldn’t matter.
Now being older and more educated, I have realized how wrong I was this whole time. The inability to vote has made me advocate to other millennials about the importance of making your voice heard, especially with the election coming up in November 2016.
A corporate puppet, known as Hillary Clinton, and a racist billionaire, known as Donald Trump, are leading the polls for their opposing parties. If we want to keep these two out of office and put someone like Bernie Sanders in, then young adults need to take action and become more politically involved.
Millennials naturally have a negative attitude toward the government and authority in general. I think a key reason for this is because we were raised during a time of major technological advances. These advances make it easier for individuals to access information and investigate controversial issues further.
Conspiracies are also another reason for the lack of trust in the government. Ever since I can remember, there was always a government conspiracy; from the truth behind Sept. 11, 2001 to alien interaction, there will always be something the government is trying to hide and the public is trying to find out.
