3. We have some very uneducated and ignorant younger voters.

Sorry to say, but the younger generations in this country have not been taught critical thinking skills. I passed a bus stop in Chicago last week, where about 40 high school kids were getting ready to board, all of them with their earbuds in, playing games or listening to music. No conversation, oblivious to everyone around them, rude in their interactions.

I've been going to a lot of the neighborhood meetings that Indivisible holds, and it's rare to see someone there under 40. If they are, their engagement is often incoherent or selfish.

Yeah, I guess that's a mini-rant.
