The youth of America experience modern politics
Okay, so I watch way too much Nickelodeon these days, what with 4YO MG Jr. ruling the remote. (However, it's a hell of a step up from PBS Sprout and PBS Kids--those puppet shows were gettin' OLD.) Anyway, the network has a decent between-shows feature of kids (young teens) interviewing political players, etc. One clip has two kids at the DNC, asking a delegate what a delegate's role is, with other delegates woo-hooing in the background. There's another where an older guy (not a kid) interviews Debbie Wasserman Schultz about what a superdelegate is--very funny--he asks her what her superpowers are and she plays along wonderfully.

Today I saw the other side: two teens reporting about the RNC. Their whole clip: THEY WEREN'T ALLOWED IN!

:rofl:

Now tell me the kids watching Nick aren't going to be able to see that Dems are the better party!
