We live in a time where most politicians are seen as corrupt. Promises are made, only to be broken. Power is pursued, not to serve the people, but to control them. Campaigns are filled with emotional speeches, but empty follow-through.

And so, when elections arrive, many of us feel stuck with this uncomfortable thought:
“Voting today feels less like choosing a leader, and more like choosing the less dishonest person.”

This is the reality for many. It’s not apathy — it’s disillusionment. It’s the pain of hoping again and again, only to be let down.
So we ask ourselves: Why vote? Does my vote even matter?

But here’s the truth we often overlook:

Not voting doesn’t protect you from corruption — it gives corruption more power.

When good people step back, the wrong people step forward. When honest voices stay silent, lies get louder.

Even if the options are flawed, your vote is still a choice.
Maybe it’s a choice between “bad” and “worse” — but even that matters. Because less damage is still better than more. And small changes still open the door to bigger ones.

Democracy isn’t perfect. It’s messy, tiring, and sometimes even ugly. But it’s also powerful — when we use it.
It’s not just about choosing a candidate — it’s about keeping hope alive that things can get better. That tomorrow doesn’t have to look like today.

So next time someone asks, “Do you vote in political elections?”,
Take a moment to remember:
Your vote may not fix everything. But silence guarantees nothing will.

Choose — even if it’s the lesser evil — because not choosing at all is how evil wins.
