Unity Over Division: Why Joe Biden Deserves Your Vote in November!
I cast my first vote at the age of nineteen in 2008, registering as an independent—a stance I embrace to this day with pride. This decision was significantly influenced by my grandfather, a staunch independent himself, who imparted wisdom that has since shaped my political perspective. He argued that party loyalty is both "foolish and perilous," emphasizing that voting should always prioritize two core aspects: the character of the candidate and their policy positions. He advocated for a thorough evaluation of all candidates, urging a decision based on a comprehensive agreement with their values and policies. This philosophy of independence in political thought encourages a discerning and open-minded approach to voting, ensuring that choices are made based on conviction rather than allegiance.
