Surprising it’s so bad, considering how much that crowd studies and appreciates art.
It was a matter of time before electing the former Police Chief as mayor would backfire.
Medicaid expansion passes in Missouri!
Not only that, I think there's probably been a thousand words on this board alone spilling out about how he failed to usher in the next generation of leftists. Justice Dems have been growing since 2018. Not me, us.
I think you're right about that.
Inconvenient Truth came out when I was ~18. Most kids now have been living with the concept of climate change as a reality from the time they were quite small. I think the scale and impact of it resonates hard.
I know when I walked through the student fair as an idealistic socialist freshman the groups that I wanted to join were GSSA (Gay Straight Student Alliance) and SGAC (Student Global AIDS Campaign), and then Facebook came to Wake my freshman year and you could be "active" in groups online for the first time around then too. Local action for the first two groups looked like panel discussions, fundraisers, and education campaigns. Now you can do a lot of that virtually with a broader spend and lower barrier to entry.
I don't know how much of it is increased visibility with social media and whatnot, but it does seem like kids are way more politically active then when I was growing up.
