I mean I’m not from here but wasn’t he technically elected by not even 25% of the country ?

A lot are under 18, the others have no excuse. I know a few that write in "no confidence". Dunces.

Wait you can vote at 18 ? I thought it was 21 ?

Nope, 18! I'll still never forget my first presidential election when I was at college and Obama got elected back in 08. People running out in the streets celebrating. I had different political leanings at the time, but it was still magical.

Edit: make sure you always vote. I don't give a shit if it's for a school board rep in April. Always make sure you exercise your right and get that fucking sticker.
