My dad taught me a very cool thing about voting.
He said, never listen to the politician.
And never listen to just the news.

And does that line up with things you believe?
Okay, do you believe in healthcare?
Do you believe in Medicaid?
Do you believe in Social Security?
Do you believe in social programs to help the less fortunate?
Do you understand how those programs work?
Do your investigation and then look at, did this person vote for higher wages in my area?
Did this person vote for lower taxes in my area?

And he said, inform your opinion that way.
And I always tried to think that because I think it was very smart.
