In all honesty I feel so alone for liking politics. I enjoy the back and forth and the sophisticated conversation. I think the reason why so many young people don't appreciate politics is because they find it boring. Only now with Bernie sanders promising things like free college it's attracting the younger population. If you look across the board he has more than 50 percent of the younger vote. That's astonishing. If this is attracting the younger vote he obviously doing something right. But then there are questions like who's paying for it, where is it coming from, etc. but the fact that he alone is sky rocketing the youth vote and getting them more involved in politics is almost revolutionary. So again, I love politics. If more young people were involved maybe more things could get passed, we are going to be running this country one day, we need to stop leaving it up to the old guys, who grew up in a different more conservative generation to stop making our decisions. So overall the youth vote in politics is increasing but just imagine the possibilities for new ideas if more young people got involved.
