Damn right Stoller. I head up the Young Dems and still get cynical about politics and the way some politicians act, and with the way some of them have in recent years, I have every right to.
That does NOT mean I don't vote. I do. So do my peers, even with the choices that are out there. That is why I also thank the young people jumping into the ring to run as candidates on a state level like Kristen Hedger and Mark Strama or a national level like Scott Kleeb.
Our generation deeply cares about our government and the role of politics in our lives. We simply do things/organize differently and get our news in different ways, and than god, because we can't much more of the same.
From my viewpoint, the only way we will systematically change things for the better--both in terms of our Party and the way the media views young people's role in politics--is to build a powerful and reliable voting bloc.
As for the WaPo article, come on reporters. You are a main stream media outlet and all you can do is blame young people and call them cynical. That is so 1990.
