Dear young people, "Don't Vote" [video]
youtube.comDivide. Divide. Divide. Perhaps its time for a new approach.
Damn, if I was old I would be super hurt by this video. Apparently old people are Trump supporters, indifferent about school shootings, against climate change, against social justice, senile, selfish, and have no care the lives of their children or the generations that follow.
And I personally dislike pretty much everything about this video's message. You should vote because you like the candidates you're voting for, not because you hate their opponent. Your fellow Americans aren't your enemies -- you vote to make your preferences heard, not to drown out others.
Am old. Not hurt. (Nor rich, I might add.) But when one side is constantly taking shots at you, and the other side is welcoming you with open arms, well, it's hard to ignore.
Ralph Nader spoke recently at the Politics and Prose bookstore in DC about how few people it takes leading through action to get change done if public opinion backs them.
