It's Time for the Elites to Rise Up Against the Ignorant Masses
- ChuckMcM 10y agoProbably not the best turn of phrase. I've observed an interesting trend however, which is that as the world ages (life expectancy rises and the number of people over the age of 65 grows faster than the number of people under 35) it seems to empower the politics of nostalgia. "Back in my day ..." and all that. I was really impressed at how Bernie Sanders got the younger generation motivated and out there. We need more people to do that because I feel like it makes no sense at all for people who have perhaps 20 to 30 years left to live being the deciding vote on issues that are going to affect the country for 50, 60 or even a hundred years.
