my vote did not count.

So we have our first Black President. On that note, I will now attempt to rant on about politics, or my lack of knowledge thereof, and why I do not vote...

I am sick of people lecturing me because I do not vote. Just as it is my so-called right to vote, it is also my right not to. Do you really want uneducated people like me voting? The only reason I even knew who the candidates were this year was because of all the SNL talk. I would not be able to tell you one platform from another.

I feel like this year's campaign has been about color and gender. Now why would I want to be apart of that? Black versus white. Male versus female. Old versus young. Majority versus minority. Our future does not look to bright if this is going to be the basis of decisions to be made.

Congratulations to the new President. I can only hope the country made the best choice.
