Vote Kid President

By Sarah Foy

While you were reading the political arguments on Facebook (or joining in on them yourself), you might have missed a new candidate gracing the world of YouTube: Kid President.

He’s the self appointed voice for his generation, and he always tells it like it is. With a few hundred views on his YouTube channel, Kid President had a humble beginning, but soon the world took notice of his contagious charm, wit, and brutal honesty. For a special episode of his show, he interviewed the creator of Adventure Time, Ward Pen. But this was just the tip of the iceberg for Kid President. Soon, Frankie Jonas, the youngest of the famous Jonas Brothers, was appointed Vice President, drawing more eyes to this new take on politics. The biggest breakthrough for Kid President yet was announced just the other day. If you follow Rainn Wilson, a.k.a Dwight for The Office, you might have heard the news. Kid President is joining the popular Youtube Channel Soulpancake, a project co founded by Rainn Wilson himself. It’s apparent that Kid President has a bright future ahead of him, but you might be asking, “Just what does this kid do?”
Kid President encourages his viewers to take a different view on life. Instead of waiting for someone else to make things better, he tells us that it is our responsibility to give the world a reason to dance, to create positive change in the world. He respectfully asks adults to stop being so boring. He tells us to stop posting on Facebook and actually make stuff happen. Kid President isn’t all talk and no walk, though. Most recently he made a video calling attention to Krochet Kids, an organization that sells hats made by over a hundred different people in Uganda and Peru to help give these people jobs, education, and a future. I almost forgot the best part of Kid President. He’s likes to dance. A lot.
Kid President is definitely making the world a better place and giving us all a laugh at the same time. As soon as you’re able to get over the fact that this elementary school kid is way cooler than you will ever be, you can begin to take his advice and create positive change. I’ll leave you with the words of Kid President himself, “Don’t be in a party. Be a party.”
