A vote to end COVID-19

A vote to end COVID-19

Experience with students campaigning for their presidential candidate of choice during the pandemic.

While the pandemic was raging, there were other defining occurrences during the COVID-19 lockdown. The lockdown did not stop politicians from campaigning for the 2020 elections. One of the few days I was to go for a quick appointment on campus, I met some students who gave me this pinback button. They persuaded me to vote for their candidate, but I had to reply that I was an international student, and I cannot vote. This stood out to me because it pointed out how politics played an important during the lockdown. As an international student, I firmly believed that the outcome of the December elections determines how long the pandemic will linger in the United States.
