Sometimes lots of smaller OPs show the diversity of the issues at stake. Consolidating al that into one OP could give the false impression that this is all about millennials. Actualy: it is about a myriad of issues that (especially) younger voters face.

The status quo is not untenable because of some age cut-off. It is untenable because of lots of structural shortcomings.

It was another clip with him trying to get poor people to enlist for his uncle's war and has been erased from the internet. Cuz, you know, Bush.

Couldn't find it a couple years ago either.
