Greetings, Millennials! Let’s dive right in: did you know that Donald Trump is allegedly interested in taking away your smartphones? Okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but he does have his sights set on plenty of things that could impact your life, so let’s not dismiss it entirely.
Mark Your Calendar
First things first: if you’re a young voter, mark your calendar for November 8 and make your way to the polling station. It’s just a Tuesday—nothing monumental ever happens on a Tuesday (except taco Tuesday, of course). I’ll wait while you set a reminder.
The Power of Your Vote
Now, here’s a fun fact: Millennials hold 33% of the voting power! Yet, in 2012, only 26% of you actually voted. Quick math here: that means about 60 million of you didn’t show up to the polls. No judgment! I get it; life can be hectic. But seriously, grab some tacos, rally your friends, and head to the polls this year. Those are crucial votes that can sway the future, and we’re not just talking about minor issues. We’re talking about significant stuff—think fire, brimstone, and possibly even flesh-eating zombies!
Why Your Vote Matters
Why is this so crucial? Because Trump’s agenda includes some pretty alarming ideas. He’s all about arming everyone, slashing taxes for the wealthy, and punishing women for making choices about their bodies. Plus, he’s keen on jeopardizing your rights to love who you want and has some rather extreme immigration policies. And let’s face it, if he gets into power, there’s a real chance your weed could be on the chopping block too.
Many of you might feel disenchanted with politics, but Trump’s rise is a wake-up call. He’s not the kind of leader you want making decisions that affect your life. Just imagine his Twitter rants if he has access to nuclear codes. Yikes!
Issues That Matter to You
You care deeply about pressing issues like climate change, immigration, job security, and education. You’re the most educated and diverse generation ever, so it’s time to let your voices be heard. Remember, your vote is essential.
A Lesson from History
For a bit of history: back in 2000, Ralph Nader’s candidacy is believed to have siphoned votes from Al Gore, allowing George Bush to sneak in. So, don’t throw your vote away on third-party candidates just because you’re not thrilled with the main options. Seriously, we need to be smart about this!
Make a Plan to Vote
So, let’s do this—grab some tacos and make a plan to vote on November 8. Your vote is your power, and it can help steer us away from an impending apocalypse!

In Summary
In summary, Millennials, your vote is vital—don’t underestimate its influence. As the largest and most diverse generation, you have a chance to make a real difference. So, mark those calendars, grab some tacos, and let’s make our voices heard!
