Voting?

It is true that we will be able to vote in a couple of years. Voting can be very empowering to some people, and for others it is considered a waste of time that can be applied to some other activity. In my opinion, voting is a great thing. I will finally be able to voice my personal opinion alongside the other citizens of the United States that decide to take advantage of the opportunity to be able to vote. In my opinion, voting is not what it should be in America. There are several people that base their decisions of who should be president off of trivial things. For example, someone may vote for one candidate over another candidate just because they look better. There are several people that do not look deep enough into the candidate that they choose and merely scratch the surface of all of the people running in the election. There is a good chance that the person you voted for wins the presidency for example. Later on the president you voted in makes decisions that you disagree with and you are unhappy with what they do. What if they said they were going to do that all along? But the person in this example just didn't look deep enough into the candidate to know their beliefs. Voting is a great thing to be able to do, but with great power comes great responsibility.
