1. Actually, it's the older generation's fault.

The root of the idiocy of "I'll vote Republican to show the Democrats I mean business" has its roots in the previous generations' nasty habits of "Don't vote, they're all the same" and "drop out, and things will get better." it's this idea that non-involvement leaves you pure and thus makes things "better" through the power of magical space dolphins and shitty folk music.

It's the same problem that has - until recently - restrained "protest" to "I have sign that I wave between 3 and 5 PM!"
