The 2020 Presidential Election is being called the most important election in American history.

The 45th President of the United States and Republican nominee Donald Trump is campaigning for a second term.

His opponent is Democratic nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden.

Both are trying to convince the American public they’re the right person to lead our country.

The last 4 years have been challenging, with circumstances becoming far worse in 2020.

The U.S. has experienced the following: more innocent Black people killed by police, the nightmare that is human trafficking, a nationwide upraising against systemic racism and social injustice; blatant racism from public officials, media and law enforcement; anarchists and looters destroying businesses, raging wildfires decimating land and homes, and the COVID-19 pandemic claiming more than 200,000 lives and infecting millions of others including our current President and First Lady.

Our citizens have the power to change the course of our nation. That power is their right to vote.

For those people who believe they have no reason to vote, ThePromptMag.com‘s Josh Bard is here to help. Here’s his 10 Reasons to VOTE!

1: Donald Trump is a dangerous, selfish, racist, unpredictable, egotistical, lying, cheating, misogynistic, supervillain. He is an embarrassment and another blackeye for this country, and we have a chance to make this era only 4 years.

2: The government is often full of politicians who have helped themselves and their friends before their constituents. We are their bosses and get to fire them when they aren’t working for us. This is that chance.

3: You don’t get to complain if you don’t vote, and you’ll be missing out on A LOT to complain about.

4: If you plan ahead, voting takes very little time or effort. Request a ballot by mail and vote early. You can avoid lines and all the probable suppression tactics if you prepare ahead of time.

5: There is a long and ugly history of people who were not allowed to vote. It is disrespectful to their lives and legacy if you waste what they fought for. Also, their ghosts will absolutely haunt you for being a jerk.

6: I know the odds are really small, but could you live with yourself if your preferred candidate lost by 1 vote?

7: Don’t you want to help send dweebs like Donald Trump or Lindsay Graham or Mitch McConnell home and out of our lives?

8: Don’t be that person who voted for American Idol but didn’t vote for American democracy. 

9: Your enemies are voting and if you don’t vote, they get another step ahead of you.

10: The “I Voted” sticker is the must have accessory of the year and will improve your odds of getting laid on Election Day by 5000%. |THIS.
