    Kyle and Katie are taking a trip to Missouri for the Bernie Sanders rally. He's really dived headfirst into this and it's the first time he's seriously gotten involved in politics. Been making phone calls and everything.

The way I see it, the only people who should vote are people who are way more smart and knowledgeable than me. If only everyone at my level had my humility and said "You know, maybe I don't know what's best." Instead, we feed people the idea that EVERYONE who can vote should.

You can decide what happens next, what do you think your taxes should be spent on? Government bonuses or schools? The rich only look out for themselves, it's up to the poor man to get up and vote, he can change everything if he just does it.

The rich and the poorest always go for whatever is promising them the most right now, no matter if it's bad in the long run. Voters should put that aside, and look to the country as a whole and in the direction it should be going in the long run.

Or maybe because they aren't smart enough to realise what will happen when he actually delivers the things he promises. I heard somebody say he was one of the world's best negotiators and would put Putin in his place. I'm pretty sure it won't go down like that, gambles don't pay off at that level.

      Editing … I don't vote but if I did I have no idea who I'd vote for this time around. I might feel more comfortable letting other people decide. For example some people are really, REALLY into their candidate of choice. So who am I to contradict their vote. Personally I have mixed feelings about Bernie (he just wants to waste money) and I don't see what's so bad about Trump being elected. (other than the fact Husky would move to Canada) Also I've heard the anarchist-libertarian argument that we shouldn't vote at all since it serves as a personal condonement of statism. All the bad things the president proceeds to do during his term will rest on our shoulders. It's a pretty good point. Also, the president will use military force. Which is essentially murder. If my candidate gets elected, it would essentially make me a murderer. That's a bit heavy. Voting is a bit heavy.
