My younger brothers are so discouraged by voting. To them it doesn’t work — & trying to explain that we got what we wanted because we voted for this (we=country) It’s gonna be real hard to keep young people from feeling disenfranchised — if you’re older try to actively hope so despair doesn’t win

Finally decided to watch Rich vs Poor. Why is the greatest YouTube of all time?? And why did I wait so long to watch it?? youtu.be/ef568d0CrRY?...
