If you live in the States, are of age, and registered, get out and vote today. Otherwise you have no right to complain if the government breeds zombies to eat your children.
Plus, if you live in the state of California, you have the opportunity of a lifetime with Prop 19. You can vote on whether marijuana possession gets legalized for personal use. Cool, right? Now do I have your attention?
Although recent polls show lack of popularity behind this initiative, with even the Left taking a hands-off approach, it is an extremely important and relevant issue that directly targets you, our demographic reader and customer (here are my personal thoughts on marijuana legalization from this past 4/20).
I know politics and voting and the news and anything that Kanye didn’t art-direct is boring and seemingly inconsequential to your life, but you couldn’t be more wrong. For every vote you don’t cast, that’s another one for your parents, or your teacher, your boss, the security guard who won’t let you skate, you get the idea. Every election shows a disappointing lack of voter turnout amongst young people, and all that means is that those ancient dinosaurs you see walking around (grown-ups) are calling all the shots on what’s important for the world YOU are growing up in.
So please, VOTE. Or the zombies win.
