But aside from that… yay! Election Day!

Take a moment to consider those around you who can’t vote because the electoral process routinely and systematically disenfranchises them by neglecting their right to political self-representation by denying them the right to vote. They often “feel like a kid” because society constantly reinforces that discrimination, at school, at home, at church or synagogue, at the community center, at city hall, or… in the election booth. For them, well, “Election! Election” can sound like the chanting of an angry mob that wants to put children and youth in their place.

I understand the excitement - we all feel it - and I don’t want to be poo faced or put a wet blanket on anyone’s fire. But should we really be perpetuating adultism like this?
