My problem with the youth vote.

Is twofold.

1. Lack of experience/knowledge.
2. Emotion based rather than thought through.

Therein lies the rub; we want students and young adults to be engaged it politics, then we confuse them with capmpaigns and slogans that are inappropriate. (Except for this shining exception.)


I think we need to have young people get involved earlier, and teach them how to think past the rhetoric to make good decisions based on fact, not hype. After all they are supposed to be the ones that will run the Country in the future.
