this is just a vent post, no need to read! <3
good day, everyone.
My country is currently having our election right now. And never have I felt so disappointed and proud at the same time.
My people are voting a dictator’s son over a lawyer. A boxer over a doctor. An action star (who has absolutely zero knowledge in politics) over people actually capable of leading our country.
Is this what they want the world to see our country as? When they research about our country, they find out about how we had undeserving leaders; find out we have a tax evader as a president? We were given THE BEST OPTIONS, yet you chose to vote the worst ones possible.
Right now, I’m sitting here alone in my room, watching as the votes add up; praying that a miracle will happen; thinking about how the years of corruption that our ancestors worked so hard to stop will come back... asking myself if it ever really left?
It pains me so much to know that so many others think the same as I do, but never got the chance to do anything.
To me, every vote counts. So please... anyone who can vote for their country. VOTE WISELY. DO NOT VOTE SELFISHLY. 6 YEARS IS A LONG TIME. This isn’t only for you and your family; this is for your entire country.
For anyone who decided to read this, thank you for reading! God Bless! And sorry for any incorrect grammar and/or spelling, English is not my first language.
