Why younger Americans don’t feel their vote makes a difference | The Bottom Line

Hey, Marco Antonio Rubio ,, did you know that seven thousand years ago, the world's first civilization—the "Aratta" civilization—emerged in Jiroft (Kerman) and Shahr-e Sukhteh (Sistan) in ancient Iran, located north of the Strait of Hormuz? It was there that the world's first artificial eye, the first animation, and the first writing system—predating the Sumerians—came into existence.

I think a lot of this is bullshlt, and I disagree. Good jobs are available here for young adults, some just don’t want to work, and others would rather be activist, and when you get a degree in gender studies of the Middle East, and can’t get a with it, it’s your own fault. I have a 29 year old son, graduated with a 4 year business degree, and got a good job no problem

the aarp are not a powerful lobbyist group - israel is the most powerful lobbying group in the usa - old people in the usa are the fastest growing demographic of homeless - old people just got their food stamps and medicare cut and more cuts are coming after the election - as someone over 60 years old - i'd never vote for anyone over 60 - too old - bernie sanders' biggest demographic of supporters are young people - a big problem is that political parties don't get anyone a chance unless they're corrupt ..

There is just so much more to it than the age. Just to run as a politician, you need so much money. I'm not saying that's always the case. But people in their 20s, our struggling and if you want to go for elected office. Yeah, you can use social media and try to be a serious candidate. But the amount of money to try and win elected office is so much. And you have all this money in politics is the issue which we need to remove, to give anyone a fighting chance. The whole point of representation from senate to representative should be. Anyone should be able to run for this seat. You have people in congress staying for decades, even for example, another bad incentive is someone like an AOC who I like her policies? And I mean, I do align more with her, but she is in that seat for a long time. Now and if someone wanted to primary, her even on the democratic side is gonna cost so much money to even remove her. Also, when representatives get in all, they focus on is raising money. Now so they can keep their seat. And stay elected and again. You can nibble around the edges for your constituents, but at the end of the day, all you're doing now is once you get that seat, you're going to try your hardest to keep it for decades. And not really care about your constituents, and your state, if you're a senator so the issue is that Senators, and representatives, once they're in power, they stay in power for too long, and I'm not against term limits. But at the end of the day, I think we need to rethink our representation, because people are just going in. Staying in for thirty forty fifty years, making tons of money and then leaving, and they did nothing for their constituents. And or for the country
