Hate all candidates? You’re not the only one.

The 2016 presidential race has been statistically the race in which both major party nominees have been disliked in big numbers by Americans, and with third party candidates stuck at or below 10 percent, saying you don’t care about the election might be something you are doing right now.

The reality is that most likely either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will become the most powerful person in the entire globe, and while I respect your democratic right to move on with your protest vote and sit on the couch this Nov. 8, this election might just be the one that you will not want to pass up.

As a Hispanic and an immigrant myself, the election has many soft spots for me as it has for many other individuals such as African-Americans or white working class males and females. Not having the option to vote can be really frustrating when my life as well as the one of my friends and family remains in the balance, like it does for all of you. This election doesn’t impact only the wealthy, the rich or species who live in a different dimension; the policies being chosen by presidential nominees are the ones that will impact our parents and, more importantly, us. These policies are crucial for us when get ready to go to college, pay taxes and enter the world of working individuals.

The solution is simple: get up and register to vote as soon as you can. If you don’t want to do it for yourself or your family, do it for the Syrian people whose destiny could be decided by this election, do it for one of your peer’s parents who might be illegal immigrants and wait for the fate of their well-being, or do it to change the corrupt system you’re always nagging everyone about. Be a responsible citizen and use your power; vote your conscience.
