[@marieb0625]

I guess the question is what do young people care about? The people he named came up when we were fighting for our rights, now you have people who their heroes are Kenye West, Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé so what are the young Americans passions? What do they have to deliver on? I guess reproductive freedom isn’t something they think about? No one young has health issues and rely on anything like diabetic drugs? Maybe the young people need to imagine how the future will be when some of those freedoms are gone. Local elections have consequences.
