The only fundamental change that’s both required and possible is young people with good ideas stepping up to the plate instead of throwing up their hands and declaring the whole system bankrupt.
- jahewson 4y agoHard disagree. The system showers rewards on the older generations in exchange for votes. It offers young people almost nothing. Retirees also have nothing better to do than sit around watching and reading conservative propaganda which is close to impossible to compete with.
- ethanbond 4y agoYep, all those things are true. And yet still the only realistic solution is as advertised up above.
- jahewson 4y agoI don’t think it’s realistic to expect people who don’t hold power, who have the least resources, the least leverage, to be able to take power. The nature of power is that it can be used to stop people from doing exactly this. And it’s a moot point because if you figure out the magic formula for getting this huge turnout then the same approach will be used by your opponents and the largest demographic will still win, and that’s not young people.
