View submission: Trump’s 60 Minutes interview once again reveals gross ignorance and wild dishonesty
I really hope the millennials become a big civic minded generation that votes in huge numbers. At least gen x came out in 2006 and 2008.

Unfortunately, among the millennials I know in my state, they seem to think caring about and talking about politics is something to be shamed for.
The topic is treated like religion is in a tavern; don’t talk about it and keep it to yourself. So they don’t see themselves as a voting block, they are atomized and alienated to a point where they can’t even fathom that their single little vote could matter one iota.
They may be right..but when tens of thousands of younger voters in the state think the exact same thing, then they are throwing away a huge amount of influence and power for no reason.
