You didn't. Kids don't really think about how big an impact that an elected official like the Governor or President has until they start paying taxes and trying to make it on their own. That's one of the main reasons we have our present POTUS is there was a very big contingent of young, easily swayed voters who voted for Obama because he was younger and charismatic. Add that to the hardcore democrats and the lazy welfare sucking vote and it all added up to him getting the electoral vote. Perception by younger voters is not what it will be when they get older and mature more.clarionite wrote:My 18 year old daughter voted for the first time Friday. She sent me a picture with her "I Voted" sticker with the text of "Go Abbott!" as her comment in the text. I was proud and thought I had done something right. This morning, I saw her in person for the first time since she voted. I asked her if it felt good to vote for the first time. She said that honestly it didn't feel any different. That she didn't think it was that big of a deal. She had voted for class president in high school, it was about the same. Where did I go so wrong?
