But then the negative aspect of tying your hopes and dreams to a single candidate like this is that I fear that if he doesn't get the nomination, young people will not bother to vote in any election this year, let alone the presidential one. I support the shit out of Bernie but people need to think about the bigger picture (i.e, don't let a Republican into the Oval Office and vote in every local/congressional election under the sky). Shit, I'm 21, haven't properly lived in the country since I was 10 and I've voted in every election that I've been eligible to, even last year's disastrous mid-terms. I feel like it is a mistake for my generation to just collectively turn its cheek in exasperation and be like 'I WON'T VOTE AT ALL BECAUSE IT IS ALL SHIT' just because it means we won't even get baby steps towards the things we like, let alone progress at all...
