"I believe voting is part of a deep responsibility I have to make this country better. Every right and liberty I enjoy has been voted into law. Now those of us who have those rights must vote in the interest of others. The world I want to live in isn't reflected in our government officials and that needs to change. That's why I'm voting." - Megan Rapinoe
It's amazing how politics have changed. I can say one thing for sure. I am very hopeful about the Gen Z folks coming into the political mix as voters. Being the mother of 2 of them, who aren't necessarily hardcore political junkies. They've lived through the fear of school shootings, they are entitled (at least mine are - sorry !) and therefore believe in human rights for all and just can't figure out why some people think it's their business to tell them what they can and cannot do with their lives. After all, no one tells those people! And I think many of the Gen Zs listen, think and act. No one deserves their vote, they must earn it.
