re: #334 HappyWarrior

Yeah we will see what happens. I’m definitely not as optimistic about our generation as I once was.

I lost a lot my optimism over the years, but I think what really should have been a red flag for me was talking to my coworker Tuesday morning after my shift ended. I brought up the election to her and joked about how it was her civic duty to vote. And without missing a beat, she told me with a big and honest grin that she wasn’t voting because she didn’t think it mattered. And she’s not some little nitwit, she’s got a college education, so I know she’s got more than two neurons firing in her head.

That is what is going to fuck our generation over a bramble patch: We have not yet grown up enough to get it through our thick skulls that our not voting is why our votes don’t matter.
