This sounds very much to me to be a total lack of understanding the process used to get change in government. The last thing you do is quit. For 50 years I have lobbied for persons with developmental disabilities. I did not get what I wanted even the first 6 years. But I kept working for it. And finally in many states there is a good program in each county to help. And now it is again under threat.
My millennial is upset about net neutrality and NSA spying. I agree with him. He is mad at Obama so he was not going to vote. I can guarantee he is not going to have much of an impact on changing this by not voting.
What the above is saying is that there is great value in uniting to fight for the change we need. The worst thing we can do is have a generational battle that says what I want is important but what you want is not.
Hopefully we can find ways to help each other toward our goals.
