I think you’ll find that many Americans see this as the last bit of faith in the system they have left. If it gets pulled out of their hands, you’re going to see a very different type of American.

Same here, this is what got me banned. Member since 08.

One thing to remember is that, even now, we live in a gerontocracy. The wave of younger candidates winning in primaries is a sign of things to come, but more than the voting population shifting to younger people, we’re still waiting for the candidates and politicians themselves to be younger on average. Still so many very old people in the US senate/house.
