Although I feel voting is an imperative responsibility of American citizens, I also feel completely disenfranchised by a system of politics that I have no voice in. I don’t feel like Trump represents me or my family well.  I disagree with his beliefs on the place of governments, his fiscal policy, and his foreign policy.  If I were to vote for him, I have to accept the consequences from that.It’s not as simple as, he’s the only choice so choose him.  Voting is a real responsibility, and all of us should reflect very deeply on the choice we make. This election, in particular, will have major ramifications. If Trump gets elected and does nothing about the national debt other than add to it, I’ll have to answer to my children why I voted for him.  “Because he was better than the other guy” isn’t a good enough response for me anymore.  It shouldn’t be good enough for anyone in my opinion.If someone feels strongly that Trump doesn't represent their values, but neither does Kamala, I wouldn’t call them careless or a bad citizen.  It’s the fault of all of us who sat idly by while our entire political system became dominated by only 2 parties.</blockquote>
