Young people are generally treated like other marginalized groups when it comes to politics. Like poor people, for example, most political campaigns in the US consider it a waste of resources to attempt to appeal to them, and get them out to vote. That is perhaps the most difficult part of the attempt to build an attractive structure above the ground. But I have a friend, said to be a carpenter by trade, who pointed out that by using the stone other builders reject, one can build a rock-solid corner stone for the foundation. And that, as you knew, my Wonderful Sister, is the reason that I focus my efforts on those marginalized groups.
