the 13 million folks who voted for Crazy Bernie did not do so based on his good looks, his hair, or his charming personality. Trump's voters did!

young people think they cant participate in politics because they don't "know enough". they come from a working class family & dont have a PHD in political science like me. while knowledge of policy is important, its not everything, kids. if one's heart is in the right place, if one has compassion, and a sense of justice, the other stuff will fall into place. in progressive politics, no one has to stand alone. we're all in this together

I'm not going to disagree with everything you've written, but people evolve
with age.

This group of young people will be no different.

There has always been a Generation Gap. And everybody has always been
on both sides of the Gap at some time in their life.
