I don't want to just vote for who my friends and parents are voting for. How should I decide. And should I not vote if I don't feel like I'm not really up on the issues? - A New Voter in Fishtown 問： 我十八歲，而我終於有人生第一張選票。我不想盲從我的父母或朋友 去投票給任何一個候選人。因此親愛的巴爵士，當我不是完全瞭解時 ，我是不是應該不要投票給任何人呢？ A: Good for you. I believe it's important for all citizens to vote. It's our right. If you don't vote, you shouldn't complain about how bad things are. My advice to you is to read up as much as you can on the candidates and the respective offices you're thinking of voting on, and get as much insight as possible on the issues and the candidates' positions. Knowledge is power. You can then form your own opinions. Voting for somebody just because you want to follow family or friends is a wasted vote, in my opinion. You get one vote in the booth. Make it count. 巴： 恭喜你。我相信所有的公民都應該去投票，這是我們的天賦人權。如 果你不投票，那你就沒有抱怨東抱怨西的資格。我的建議是想盡辦法 去瞭解各方候選人跟他們各自的主張，並且想辦法去深入理解所有的 選戰議題，以及各候選人所持有的立場。 知識就是力量，你可以因此整理並且獲得你自己的意見。如果投票只 是因為是個跟屁蟲，那這張選票在我看來就跟浪費掉了沒有兩樣。你 已經有了一張票在圈票站裡面了，想辦法讓他變得有意義吧！ --
