Skipping the Vote? Not an option this time ??♀?
Hey there, your philosophy BFF here! ??
Think skipping the vote means staying neutral? Spoiler: there’s no escaping this choice. Why? Because, as Sartre would say:
"We’re all condemned to be free.”
Choosing not to vote is, ironically, still a choice—a choice to let others decide for you.
Sartre’s existentialist philosophy is all about how we’re always responsible for our actions, even when we choose inaction. He argues that humans can’t escape this freedom, even if they want to. We’re constantly making choices, whether actively or passively, and each one has its weight.
So, when it comes to voting, skipping the booth is still a decision with real consequences. Whether you’re fired up for change or just mildly curious, make November 5 a day to check in and cast your vote! ???
Until next time, stay open to new perspectives so that you can better decide on your impact in the world.?
Stay curious, stay critical, and keep questioning! I’ll catch you soon.??
