Newfangled

There have been a couple of political blogs I have been meaning to type up recently that I haven’t taken the time to do yet. The first of which is kind of a retrospective on how much the last election pissed me off. I was 17 at the time and not able to vote. YET my peers and older students would press and push about whatever candidate they liked or wanted me to like and continually asked me for whom I was voting. I was 17, I wasn’t voting for anyone. I generally was not interested in who won because I could play no part in it. It would frustrate me that people would get angry that I don’t care about politics. NOW I am able to vote and will most definitely exercise that right. The United States isn’t doing the best, and there is actually a candidate that I think could bring us to our best. I am riveted following this campaign. Things infuriate me, inspire me and cause me to go out and tell people what I think. I don’t think It’s just because I can vote now, but more so that Obama is running. That’s just that quick statement.
