Best response I have seen to the I won't vote young people

http://www.newnownext.com/get-out-the-vote-response-12-young-non-voters/11/2018/

Nathan, 28 (Last voted in 2016)

Nathan wishes his candidate information came in a bulleted Insta story, or with a Snapchat filter, and apparently doesn’t realize he isn’t being forced to never watch the news or read an article to completion, and that his failure to be able to do so will be a detriment to his future whether or not he can get it together enough to vote. Which, spoilers, it’s looking unlikely he will.

Since Nathan doesn’t like to read, let’s provide him with a video instead, on the off-chance he made it this far.

Nathan, this is Sam Craig. He is:

– 16 years-old.

– Is the state director of Students Demand Action in Colorado.

– Is concerned about homophobia and the damage it does to real lives.

– Wants you to vote.

There isn’t a filter on this video, so try not to let your eyes glaze over immediately. Oh, and here’s an article giving you all the info you’ll need to vote on Tuesday, which you’ll almost certainly get too overwhelmed to read because it has paragraphs. But in case you get inspired.




The above is 1/12 of the piece much much more at link.
