    Yes if all the other young people voted it would.
    However you wouldn't have liked their choice. The bold shows that exactly.
    Which is the problem in a nutshell. You and others(on both sides) are only okay with young people voting if they vote for your candidate. Otherwise they're misguided youngsters who don't know anything and should go back to school.

    wow....now this is bs....more young people of my generation challenged their parents than probably ever in history....I was born in the 50s and in the 60s and 70s young people protested the status quo....intermarried...marched against the war...marched for civil rights...etc....my father and I didn't speak for years after I got back from the war due mainly to political and social disagreements...we mended fences but I'm not sure what bubble you were raised under....if I followed my father's path I'd have been a Nixon loving midwestern farmer married to my irish hs sweetheart …..didn't happen. My generation questioned everything my father's generation believed in....nothing wrong with following your parents footsteps but not a lot of people in my generation did that....you're grabbing at straws here dude

    I guarantee you I would have preferred their choice to Trump.

    That is not what I am saying at all. I'm saying young people should get involved and vote. Take some responsibility. Live with the consequences of YOUR decisions, not the consequences of someone else's decisions.

    your assumptions here seem self serving.....I've encouraged students to vote all my life and never thought about who they'd vote for...as a retired teacher I think you're playing the partisan card for you own purposes.....my oldest son is a die hard republican....youngest is an independent ….they make their own choices

    Isn't Gary Johnson the guy that could only name one world leader and he had trouble doing that?

    he stumbled in that interview badly...looked exhausted...he bicycled to every interview and actually bicycled from Alaska to New Mexico....cancer survivor...used medical marijuana as part of his recovery...didn't matter to me...I would have voted for anybody over the major 2 candidates...at least Johnson was honest.....Trump didn't know geography at all....or world politics....if you wanted knowledge of world leaders...Hillary was the master of that. Johnson was my "fuck you dems and republicans" vote...I could have easily wrote in Daffy Duck

    Amigo - are you paying attention to what has happened this week? On the day Trump said, "Russia, if you are listening, find her 30,000 missing emails" Russian operatives launched a full scale cyber attack on Hillary's servers. Read the latest indictment. Mere coincidence? Or teamwork? And that is just a low hanging fruit example.

    Sorry, no one is making this stuff up, sadly.

    The indictments against the Americans are coming. And, weirdly, so is Putin. Go figure.

    So, is @MARIS61 actually @Denny Crane? Because if you click the link in Maris' post above, it doesn't lead to an article that says no Americans colluded, it pops up with a link to Denny's profile.

    I sincerely don't get it.

    Btw, the indictment says,

    "There is no allegation in this indictment that any American was a knowing participant in this illegal activity." (emphasis added.)

    You have to read it like a lawyer, as it's a legal document. That indictment alleges no collusion, which makes sense as it is about what 12 Russians did. But nowhere does anyone say there was (or was not collusion), because, as a matter of course, that has not been legally determined yet.

    I am not picking nits. This is how a lawyer would read that statement.

    Just wanted to add a thought to your post. The right to vote was reduced from a minimum age of twenty one to the age of eighteen in 1971. This was a direct result of our generation.

    Most of the social changes, good and bad, that the youth today take for granted, were a direct result of 60s and 70s youth rebelling against the norm.

    Denny/Maris - whoever you are: Good point. I did say the indictment spells out collusion and you are right, it doesn't. But note: people can make mistakes and it need not be a lie, or nefarious. I blew it, that's all. My bad.

    Carry on!

    Honestly, I believe we took it too far. There is a direct correlation to the extreme behavior we see today.
