2016 has been a huge year. We’ve gotten new music from Fifth Harmony, had another fan-driven One Direction campaign, and seen a new boy band romance blossom.
But, most importantly, 2016 is the year of a presidential election. With highly opinionated candidates and crazy media coverage, voters have taken to Twitter to add in their two cents. Though it is great to discuss the issues, Zendaya adds to her life lessons and points out that simply tweeting is not enough.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, she said, “There’s really crazy stuff happening right now, and it’s disappointing, sad, and scary.”
“My generation, we really have to step up to the plate and vote. Tweeting is great — people say, ‘Oh, I don’t want this or that’ — but at the end of the day, tweeting isn’t a ballot. Just saying that you don’t like someone on Twitter is not going to turn a state blue or red. You have to vote.”
