You should vote for the Democratic party and here’s why.

Unlike the Constitution and its leeches that we call Federalists, Anti-federalists care about the people. According to American Sentinel University “The original Constitution—completed September 17, 1787—didn’t directly address individual rights.” It also says that the only parts of the constitution that protect our rights are the Bill of Rights (which the Anti-Federalists help invoke), the 14th amendment, the 15th amendment, the 19th amendment, and the 21st amendment.…

    After looking through the Democratic and Republican parties beliefs, three issues that I found important to me are higher education, protecting and improving Medicaid and workers compensation. The Democratic view on higher education aligns with my thoughts because everyone should have the opportunity to attend college and not feel burdened down by all the money it takes to further their education. Until this past year, I was blindsided about how much college really cost but now, I after going through the college admission process and learning about the great scholarships and grants available I have realized how affordable college can be but students just think of how expensive it'll be and say college is not for me.
