Politics. Seriously. We don’t need another high tech company or hedge fund. We need to fix our country. We need organized, voting young people.


... to vote for whom? There are already lots of young people organizing and wanting to vote, although their preferences might not necessarily align with the generation above them. Populist movements (both the far-left and far-right) are taking over Western countries at the moment (as a reaction to the dire economic circumstances of the current generation), but the traditional political parties (mid-left/mid-right, but especially the mid-left) and the old media conglomerates are actively trying to suppress that.


I think he/she means to vote for “the right candidate”, possibly someone that will start a genocide in Yemen, drop more bombs than any other US president and go away with a Nobel peace prize, pictures with kids playing around in the White House and a bunch of emotional speeches?
