Ugh, millennials

Re “Bernie Sanders’ pollster explains how she can gain ground with millennials,” Opinion, Oct. 9

What bothers me most about millennials is how they wash their hands of the country when it rejects their views. If the country does not embrace their favored candidate, they disclaim all responsibility for its fate.

But your obstinate country is no less yours than your obstinate child. If your son spurned your career advice, would you profess not to care whether he takes up banking or chainsaw juggling? Ilya Shlyakhter
