I look at thousands and thousands of young people of every color, ethnicity, sexuality etc., all excited about the possibility of political change and it makes me very happy. Other people look at that same phenomenon and feel threatened. That is the real contest, the subtext here

The very of America is so audacious - that everyone is created equal by God and therefore should have equal power and opportunity - that every generation has to play out the age-old contest between royalism and democracy. The contest is re-enacted in every era. Now it’s our turn.

Obviously I left out a word in that tweet. It was supposed to say “the very idea of America.” Sorry!

False dichotomy. Many do not feel fear of significant change! Many don't like the notion of a no compromise, rigid candidate who kicked our first potential woman progressive candidate to the curb. Gender justice??

Young people have been lied to. If they understood what it means to live under a socialist government, they would not want it. All they see is free stuff. They don't understand what they will be giving up.

I look at the percentage of young people who vote, who voted for Hillary and I want them all to vote now and in the general election. I can't cast your vote kids. Vote like our future depends on it as it does. Born in 1961, yes I'm a boomer.
