Why Does Vote Matter

Unlike some people who suffer from voter apathy, I believe voting does matter. Voting matters because this is how we elect our leaders to represent us as a country. Voting matters, as this is how we can choose the leaders who we believe will best represent our voice and our ideas. Ideas we will like to see come into effect when they are elected as President. I believe voting is important because people like to complain about politicians but do nothing about it. When people don’t vote it’s a wasted opportunity to show your opinion and voice as an U.S citizen. More often than not, people complain about the current president even though they choose not to vote. People may say that my vote doesn’t matter; but millions of people say that every election and if they were to actually vote it would make a big difference. I also believe by voting we can weed out the politicians that are corrupt and lower the corruption in the government that exists right now. An example of current corruption in voting today is the Electoral College, Bernie sanders who won Wyoming by a landslide in votes still ended up with the same delegates as Hillary Clinton. How this even makes sense is beyond me. If more people had voted they could see the corruption in todays government and will hopefully act or protest for change.
I will only vote if Bernie Sanders is an option to vote for as president. The reason for my uncertainty is that I don’t want to vote for a constant liar or a racist with no political background. I don’t want my vote to go for a potential bust of a president and represent the mistakes they made as president because I voted for them. The only way if I where to vote is if Trump throws more outrageous ideas on immigration, continues to humiliate and disrespect groups of people, or shaming minorities. I will then vote for anyone who is running for the Democratic Party, whether it be Clinton or
