Voting the way to be heard

I’ve been trying to wean myself from TV, but I turned on CNN to watch the news and all I could see and hear was a bunch of idiots protesting.

We do not elect our leaders by protesting. We elect our leaders by voting. My guess would be that most of the anti-Donald Trump protestors in California don’t even vote.

Kentucky recently had one of the lowest voting turnouts in the state’s history. This is a great country, but it gives the people the right to choose. Voting is the way to choose; protesting is not.
