Honestly though, “get on board or STFU” is not a particularly compelling pro-democracy bumper sticker, nor is “meh, what are you going to do?”
All we want is for someone to keep it 💯 - the percentage, not the age.

Jon Stewart is right. The conversation should be allowed. We spend too much time accepting the present situation as inevitable rather than thinking about changing it.
We can only control ourselves. Someone might say that we all (collectively) “have to” do whatever, but that ignores how real people - especially young people - simply won’t. Not everyone is going to vote for Biden. There’s a very real chance that his doubling down like this costs the election, and hands it to Trump. Or even causes some international incident just before that.
At some point, we all just need to hold our noses and vote. Exactly like Hillary Clinton. But we aren’t there yet??? And if we all recall, the similar situation with her did not pan out so well…
Anyway, Jon listens to people, and gives younger people a voice on the large screen (that we all watch on a small one regardless:-). And that is spectacular. 😍
