When Colin Kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem earlier this season, he kicked off an entire national discussion on police brutality, the treatment of African-Americans, and the rights of Americans to protest their own national anthem. But when it came time for Kaepernick to exercise his right as an American to participate in the governing process, he declined to do so.
Kaepernick told reporters on Tuesday that he didn’t vote. That in itself is not a surprise, given the fact that he criticized both President-elect Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as equally unfit for the office of president. But it’s a disquieting message to send for someone who’s clearly positioned himself as a civil rights role model.
Even if you abstain from the national elections, you can affect A LOT through local elections, heck, local elections most likely affect your life even more than who is president.
Don't know his motivations, but the avery act of voting is a validation of the status quo.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Validate that!
