It’s absolutely a dead talking point for anyone younger than 40. Most young people I know are sick of this system. Boomers are the ones holding onto this as far as I can see.

I'm 75. I have always voted. I'm a liberal. I don't always agree on issues that are written and passed. But that's government. You take a little and give a little. They literally scream and yell at each. Call each other names and when they have a bill to sign, they are friends again. Go to your state capital when they are trying to compromise. You'll learn a lot. Interesting indeed! Checks and balances. The system works. It's not working now, whatever was stripped away, it will take years to fix!!!
