7. I would have risked getting sick to vote, no question

Apr 2020

I figured it's what Americans have fought and died for since its inception. I'm also young enough that I would in all likelihood survive the coronavirus.

But I don't know if I in good conscience could have told my 68-year-old dad with lung problems to go out and vote if he lived in Wisconsin. He lives in a swing state, but if this happened in November in his state I'm not sure whether I would encourage him to vote or beg him not to, and just the thought of that breaks my heart. I am going to make sure he applies for an absentee ballot as soon as the state starts accepting them for the general election.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
