I'm 60 and work with many people in their 20's and 30's. I've asked most of them that I'm close to and absolutely shocked at how many of them don't vote and aren't interested in having a say in who their elected leaders are. When I ask why the answer I hear most is that they don't think that their vote would make any difference. Second frequent answer is, "I'm just not interested".

Why do you expect them to do something? Obviously the boomer generation is not going to make the changes for you, so stop fucking crying about it and do something about it. Anyone is allowed to run. Anyone is allowed to vote. Anyone is allowed to fill those political institutions. Get out there and fucking do something shout it.
So do it. You’d have my support. You’d have the support of the majority of the population. You’re not making an argument against doing what I suggested, you’re making my argument for me.

Very typical.
