I was 19 when Eric Garner was choked to death by the police. Seeing that video of his death over and over again as it spread across Facebook felt like waking up to reality. Within days, I joined my first political protest: a “die-in” in my college’s student center, symbolizing our stand against police brutality.

I’m now 21 years old, in the midst of my senior year at Simpson College in Iowa, and this will be my first time voting in a presidential election. Systemic racism is the most important issue to me, and my views on that topic and many others are far to the left of both Trump and Clinton. That’s why I’m choosing to vote for Jill Stein in my home battleground state of Iowa.

I face a lot of stigma for my choice to vote third party. People tell me I’m wasting my vote, or that I’m just trying to be different. But they are completely missing the point of why I’m choosing to do this. To me, my vote represents a moral choice. It reflects who I am as a person.

I think a lot of Marxists will do likewise once they’ve read all the WikiLeaks about her “private and public” positions.

Doncha just love articles that start out with a lie in the first sentence?

[mikey_hates_everything]

Good, that vote would have gone to Hillary otherwise. Hope more like him do the same.

[Nifster]

Fine by me. Author would have never voted Teump. Glad they are not voting Hillary

Systemic racism is the most important issue to me,

Shawn, you go girl.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep. Most third party voters would never vote for Trump anyway.

According to some psychological theories, the human brain does not fully mature until about age 25. That’s when you began to have foresight about the consequences of your actions and thought.

It’s obvious the author of this piece has not reached that point as of yet. He’s still running on the idealism of immaturity, and the academia induced brainwashing of our liberal learning centers.

[Salvation]

You may as well be voting for Hillary.

[thorvaldr]

Jill Stein is just part of the machine. She “opposes” the establishment without actually offering much real criticism of them. It’s her job. It’s the role the DNC wants her to play.

[fwdude]

Lying is the left’s native tongue. Don’t judge them too harshly.

[Tanniker Smith]

Everyone should follow Jill Stein on Twitter and retweet all her stuff, esp the attacks on Clinton. The more leftie votes she siphons off, the better!

[surroundedbyblue]

This tripe is what’s wrong with youth in our country. Failure on the part of parents as far as I’m concerned.

[rhoda_penmark]

Moron. And I didn’t need to read the article to make that determination.

[Personal Responsibility]

I strongly encourage her to do so and to convince all of her friends to do so too.

[Mears]

“Failure on the part of parents as far as I’m concerned.”

Nonsense.

Unless you know the parents how can you make that claim?

Twenty-one and he’s a monumental idiot.

That’s NOT an accomplishment.

Who carries out this racism and who does it help? The only racism I came up against in my life was affirmative action. It kept me from getting certain jobs and kept me from moving up the ladder once I had a job. I was the wrong color and the wrong gender. It was so bad that a black female was told that she could be a deputy warden in four years if she was a Hispanic female. That's systemic racism.

[mjp]

It reflects who I am as a person.

a person who is a helpless and hopeless victim of the indoctrination of progressive education, and who now has a dogmatic platonic mode of thought that considers marxism as a religion and a disintegrated mode of thought that obsessively sees everything through the filter of oppression and victimization
