we got exactly 124 DAYS until November 3rd, 2020 aka the next presidential election and BUCKLE UP every single day until then I'm gonna give all y'all human citizen people one (1) reason why you need to get your asses to the polls and vote










you don't wanna have a potus that 1) blames china for everything that goes wrong in our country 2) looks significantly dumber than an actor who doesn't even have a wikipedia page 3) does not take responsibility for literally anything he does










this tweet speaks for itself. and also you wanna be able to celebrate your country's independence day without having to stay 6 ft away from everyone around you.










you wanna be able to look at your country's leadership, be 100% proud of them, and feel represented by them. only way you can feel represented is by voting. just fyi. it's the literal only thing you can do as a civilian.










you want the fact that this country is a country founded on the hard work and intellect of immigrants to be addressed proudly by your government not with shame and disdain. and also, you want people to start wearing their damn masks.










you don't want your international student friends to be forced to leave the country (or transfer schools) for absolutely no reason? this is seriously not something to be neutral about, my dudes. YOUR VOTE prevents shit like this from happening.










"we're all in this together" how, you might be wondering? how do we do this together? WE VOTE. WE ALL GO. AND VOTE. THAT IS THE LITERAL ONLY WAY.










you want a government who puts its country's people first and by that I mean it doesn't make decisions that literally endanger the lives of millions of people https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/28/us/testing-coronavirus-pandemic.html










I looked up the definition of democracy. it says here that the *whole* population is involved in the government. how you might be wondering? BY VOTING. DEFINITION OF DEMOCRACY. EVERYONE. VOTES.










you want!! trans people!! to not!! constantly!! be!! under fire!! for literally just existing!! https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/15/upshot/transgender-rights-trump.html










millennials have made the difference in *multiple* senate elections since 2014. the game theory type thinking that young people use to justify not voting will never be good enough. let's not leave it to the old people. https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2016/02/can-the-youth-vote-change-election-outcomes/458730/










millennials have the ability to make up more than half of the voting population, which is unbelievably powerful. only works if we all vote, though. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/fixgov/2016/11/21/how-millennials-voted/










millennials are the people who will be impacted most by policies being implemented now, whether it's at the municipal, state, or federal level, making it that much more important to make our presence known by voting https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2014/beyond-bls/millennials-after-the-great-recession.htm










we may not be directly impacted now, but the policies we vote on now are the policies that we, as current and recent students, will inherit https://duclarion.com/2016/10/how-does-this-years-presidential-election-affect-students/










we are all taxed money that is based on policies that we vote on. you want a say regarding how your tax money is used? you gotta vote.










you just want a government that prioritizes its people's health *first* https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/07/17/upshot/coronavirus-face-mask-map.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur










throughout history, dozens of minority groups have fought for the right to vote. it would really suck if all of those fights were in vain. https://www.inc.com/kevin-daum/these-32-inspiring-leaders-make-their-arguments-for-why-everyone-should-vote.html










you want the government, even the state level government, to step up and fight for YOU not just the billionaires










a lot is addressed here but when you VOTE you have the ability to put people into power at the municipal level who value ensuring that your tax money is serving YOUR community










IF EVERYONE JUST VOTED WE WOULD HAVE FEDERAL AGENTS WHO REPRESENT EVERYONE SO THEY CAN FIGHT WHAT EVERYONE WANTS TO BE FOUGHT SUCH AS YES CRIME https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/21/us/trump-federal-agents-chicago.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes










literally so much is at stake when you're voting, way more than just a president and a few senators https://www.trade-schools.net/articles/why-vote#more-at-stake










federally funded. you know where the federal funds come from? your tax money. you know what you have a right to do? vote on where your tax money goes. https://www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2020/7/24/stopping-trumps-phony-health-clinics










you wanna be able to look at your representatives and be proud, realizing that you had some part, however small that part may be, in electing those people.










this thing is clearly gonna be impacting our country for years to come and we *need* to be electing government officials who treat it as a long term issue so we can develop long term solutions https://time.com/5870478/children-mental-health-coronavirus/?fbclid=IwAR0vzmkAE-i27BksY24jKVM8UAvFaG432co4UGNHrcMrl2DMmUCZQpQ5XWE










you mean people in the health sector don't want to be risking their lives on a daily basis? i'm shocked. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/25/us/in-era-of-sickness-doctors-prescribe-unusual-cure-voting.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes










you wanna see people in office who have the logic to think through all of these things without feeling like their brains have overloaded.










you want to elect strong, intellectual officials at every level of the government to see us through one of the worst economic crises in decades https://www.bbc.com/news/business-53574953










you want your president to know what the president does and does not have the power to do *before* stepping into the office https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/07/trump-postpone-election/614755/










you want to exercise your god-given right as an american to vote and you want to CONTRIBUTE to this society.










WE CAN START BY ALL VOTING IN LESS THAN 100 DAYS.










you want to thank michael jordan for his contributions towards eliminating voter suppression. well, you can thank him by voting!! only 90 days to go!! https://www.upworthy.com/michael-jordan-just-donated-25-million-to-fight-black-voter-suppression










you want people like cori bush to be leading things at the city/state level because people like cori bush are the ones who eventually put people who truly care about this country's people into power at the national level https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/05/us/politics/cori-bush-missouri-william-lacy-clay.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes










the thread honestly says everything. the right to vote is something we all need to be proud of and take full advantage of. https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/1291374155355561984










I was scrolling through the american eagle website, as per usual and came across this wonderful page. if you're not gonna listen to me, listen to ae outfitters. https://blog.ae.com/vote-2020/










idk how many different ways in which I can express this but imma keep counting-- the right to vote is a huge privilege. it should *never* be taken for granted. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katebubacz/voting-rights-act-pictures-anniversary










the year 2020 also marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment aka women's right to vote. this article made me so grateful for the brave women 100 years ago who fought so hard for *me* to vote today. https://theconversation.com/19-facts-about-the-19th-amendment-on-its-100th-anniversary-134517










well this is just. this. just. can we just vote in 85 days? please?










it's been a rough journey and you want to recognize that by doing your simple part and voting. https://www.phenomenalmedia.org/articles/blackwomenvote










you want your president and vice president to be mentally and intellectually ready lmao https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1293672452896301062










it's just interesting because I'm out here tweeting about how we should be thankful on a daily basis for our right to vote while the trump administration is literally *actively* trying to take that right away from us https://www.npr.org/2020/08/13/902109991/trump-admits-to-opposing-funding-for-postal-service-to-block-more-voting-by-mail?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews

another great thread from the former potus but yeah you want your president to work to protect your life not work to actively take away your right to vote https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/1294284824325300225
