To all my international Question Marks, I hope you wouldn’t mind if I talk to my fellow Americans for a moment.

I get asked all the time by people how they can get better at Magic. My answer is that you have to take ownership of your action and accept that what you do matters. If you only lose games because of what you drew or what your opponent did, you’re never going to get any better. You have to realize that you are doing things which, at times, cause you to lose. Only by accepting this truth will you start taking the actions you need to improve.

Life is no different. Life doesn’t just happen to you, you participate in it, you influence it. Your actions affect all sorts of things that dictate not just how things affect you but how things affect others as well. I bring this up today because this is one of those days where your actions very much matter.

You have a choice to make today that very much is going to affect things. There couldn’t be a more stark choice. It’s going to impact your future as well as the rest of the world. Don’t shirk from that responsibility. You need to go out and vote. Figure out what matters to you, your loved ones, your friends, your community, your country and go vote accordingly.

Don’t sit passively by as others dictate your future. Participate. Go vote!
