okay im VERY upset when i hear teens my age dont care about politics...they dont care about what's going on in the government. okay i need to say two things about that!
1. I am NOT, i repeat NOT one of those people! and, i NEVER have. my fixation with politics started when i was in the 2nd grade! this was, i believe the year of 2OOO when the huge Bush election occured. i asked EVERY person i saw. who are you voting for? like a little news anchor. if they said Bush i said bad. then, i'd ask are you a democrat or a republican! my mom told me it was rude but i kept asking! LOL then in 4th grade i created a many newsletter about political events esp. the bush re-election and the war. i was obsessed, so much so that i attended political rallies.
2. NOT caring about the government at ANY age is STUPID. it's YOUR life, you NEED to know what's going on!! i HATE it, when people i know don't vote! it's stupid. you don't vote because you don't have time but when women and african-americans COULDN'T vote, you were pissed fighting for that right! now, everyone who is a legal US citizen CAN, yet YOU don't use that right! why? i can't wait to vote, seriously, it's SO powerful. you HAVE a voice! sure, there's the electoral college but STILL the popular vote is there! VOTE! use your right! seriously, USE it!
