While perusing the e-edition of my Michigan hometown newspaper, I came across a guest editorial, “Five reasons millennials must vote in November,” from the Sacramento Bee that caught my attention.
What are those five reasons, I wondered, and why did the newspaper feel they had to publish this for millennials? The editorial did point out that “young people tend to shy away from voting more than older people.”
The liberal Bee is obviously concerned that those millennials who flocked to former presidential candidate Berne Sanders’ “political revolution” won’t vote for Hillary Clinton.
One reason to vote for Clinton, the paper states, is student debt. She proposes to help young people and their families drowning in debt. “That’s a reason to vote that will actually pay off,” the Bee endorses.
Another big government handout.
Because millennials care about the health of a world they have to live in longer, voters would be wise to vote for all levels of government that will make the climate change a priority, “laid out by President Barack Obama and Gov. Jerry Brown.”
Continuing the hoax that sucks up taxpayer dollars.
“Millennials are globally engaged (multiculturalism), and for those who study abroad or enjoy traveling, the nation’s position on foreign affairs is vitally important to its relationships with other countries,” is the Bee’s third reason for millennials to vote. Citing Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa the Bee says, “It’s important to vote for leaders who represent their values.”
We do not want to be like them!
Referring to the importance of voting for someone who will appoint the right person to the Supreme Court, the Bee points to such important issues as the rights of women, gays and lesbians and campaign finance laws.
Need I comment?
The Bee’s fifth reason to vote is that it’s important if you want to make a difference, be that voice in society. The Bee says that it was the millennials and their support for Sanders “who got the Democratic party and its presumptive nominee (Clinton) to consider a far more progressive agenda than planned.”
Yes, it is important to vote, but if those are your most important issues, I hope you stay home as usual.
“Millennials will not be voting in November. They’re too busy finding their next virtual friend in a wasted effort to prop up their virtual egos. To become informed about policies, millennials will actually have to read whole sentences written with whole words. They’ll need to know what the words actually mean too. Too boring! National debt? Not a chance. It can’t be followed on Facebook.” – Doug Regelin
