Heading to the polls, casting your vote, and doing your part for democracy should have you pumped up, but we know there are long lines killing the vibe. To help keep you entertained while waiting for your turn at the ballot box, we gathered songs that make us think of democracy, protests, and the USA. Happy voting!

Austin chose “My President” by Jeezy:

A beautiful reminder of better days, and what America is capable of.

Tiffany chose “ Vote” by Miguel:

This song played at the end of the year’s best romantic comedy, so it might not be the most “political,” but its sentiment still rings true: “Make the choice that makes you proud.”
