It's Up To Millennials Now

“I plan to spend time in high school and college classrooms in the next few weeks to explore whether millennials can reverse a generation-long decline in U.S. politics. Will they rejuvenate comity, compromise and a viable political center? Will they pull together, or will they become Generation X-treme? Most important: Will the best and brightest of the largest generation even bother with politics or government?”
 — Hey millennials, I know you’re busy trying to find a job and a way to move out of Mom and Dad’s, but we also need you to save the democracy that has failed you so badly. And you’d better do it, or else we’re going to saddle you with a remarkably stupid name that isn’t even associated with your generation! I mean, no pressure, but it’s out there.
