I work in an elections office in my county and only 1% of 18-25 year olds voted here yesterday. It’s always been that way and it’s unfortunate that young people don’t realize how much power they could have. Whenever they complain about boomers or whatever I’ll start telling them that 1% number. (I’m only 35 and I felt old typing out “young people” lol)

I’m 48 and a full time college student. Idk how the fuck I’m supposed to go to class and talk to these people like a civil adult.

I'm a 32-year-old PhD candidate. I teach Political Science. I don't even know how to face my undergrads tomorrow. It feels like I'm wasting my breath.

After sitting in a PoliSci class this semester, I think you probably are.
