    I totally agree, how do you think we should vote this election cycle to bring that future about?

      I think there’s a non-zero probability that American democracy ends with Trump, and there’s very little benefit gained by a 2nd Trump presidency either way.

      Biden buys the youth more time to get organized and start restructuring the country. But the youth has to get their shit together, pick better candidates, and vote.

      We are at the end of an era, and you can toss out much of the conventional thinking from the past 50 - 70 years. When the millennials and Gen Z finally come together in force they will shape the country how they see fit. The boomer/silent gen majority that we were stuck with for 50 years is gone - all the younger generations have to do is vote for their priorities.

      This will happen in one of the next 3 major elections purely due to numbers.

      Lastly, the youth needs to understand that voting is about aligning the trajectory of the leadership as closely with your values as possible. You are making decisions now that have long term effects on your quality of life.
