If you read my post on politics the other day and it made you mad, made you think, made you upset, you need to watch this video. If you were born between 1978 and 2000, you need to watch this video. And if you have kids born into this generation, you should watch it too: [...]
I hear something like this all too often: I want to vote for the party (/candidate) who is most in-line with my values.
