Responsibility and Privilege: Voting is a Civic Duty

I sometimes feel like my vote really doesn't count for much anymore, not that it ever really has counted. My Republican neighbor across the street says he feels much the same way. However, if on election day, I decide not to vote and he goes ahead to the polls, I lose. Not in a specific, personal way do I lose, but I help add to the thousands of other Democrats who feel like I do and don’t vote. So I say stop yours and my self-defeating thinking and get out there and vote. It is THE only way to have any meaningful say in our government. Voting is, indeed, a privilege not found in many countries around the world. We have to stop taking this privilege for granted. Step up to the plate and swing that vote for your candidate of choice. It is your civic duty! I just hope it is for Bernie or Hillary, in that order.
