As a young voter, I and many others do not feel properly represented in the current two-party system. If we are to preserve and protect American democracy as President Biden and many others claim to stand for abroad, we need to stand for it here at home first.

Defending democracy means allowing minority parties and candidates to participate in elections and let their voices be heard. While my message is due to the upcoming presidential election, it is important to think of our local representation in our home state or city leadership.
