By John Q. Hosedrinker As a young voter myself, the news that Joe Biden is leading Donald Trump by 23 points among younger voters is both encouraging and concerning. Encouraging because it shows that the majority of young people see through Trump’s facade and are choosing a more sensible and rational leader in Biden. But also concerning because history has shown that the youth voter turnout is often disappointingly low.
In the 2020 election, Biden won the 18-29 age group by a significant margin of 27 points, but this victory was overshadowed by the fact that young voters don’t always show up to cast their ballots. The future of our country is in the hands of the youth, and it is crucial that we exercise our right to vote to shape the direction our nation takes.
It is disheartening to see that despite Biden’s lead among young voters, there is still skepticism about whether they will actually turn out to vote. Young people are often disillusioned with the political system and feel that their voices don’t matter. But the reality is that if all young voters came together and participated in the electoral process, they could have a significant impact on the outcome of the election.
The upcoming election is critical, not just for the present but for the future of our country and our planet. Issues like climate change, healthcare, racial justice, and equality are at stake. The decisions made by the leaders we elect will have a lasting impact on generations to come. It is imperative that young people understand the power of their vote and the importance of participating in the democratic process.
While polls may show Biden leading by a considerable margin, it all comes down to whether young voters will show up on Election Day. The outcome of the election will be determined by those who cast their ballots, not by polls or speculation. As the future of our nation, it is our responsibility to exercise our right to vote and make our voices heard.
So, let’s not get complacent or apathetic. Let’s not allow the decisions of our future to be made by others. Let’s stand up, speak out, and vote for the leaders who will work towards a better, brighter future for all. The power lies in our hands, and it’s time to use it for the greater good. Let’s show up, let’s vote, and let’s make a difference. As a young voter myself, the news that Joe Biden is leading Donald Trump by 23 points among younger voters is both encouraging and concerning.
