Since the importance of younger voters cannot be over-emphasized as regards future governance, I believe that the Democrats should willingly embrace these younger voters and activists. There are many forms of revolution; better to use the peaceful means now, in order to avoid the violent means later.
ReplyDeleteOthers' thoughts on revolution:
“A revolution is coming – a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough; compassionate if we care enough; successful if we are fortunate enough – but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not.

He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched.
