2. Remember McGovern in '72! (US History in school, Milllenials!)

I'm supporting the candidate with less fiery rhetoric, who can implement incremental change, the only way social change occurs, invocations to "revolution" notwithstanding. The potent symbolism of having the first female president seems lost on most Millennials, while it is not on Boomers, who have lived to see a black man in the presidency, but would like to see a woman in the highest office. "It's about time!" as we chanted.


Although they may not see it now, a woman in the White House would be truly revolutionary.
