Young voters can make America great again

Democrats are worried sick. But

what did the Democratic National Committee expect? Taking Millennials for granted, treating college students and young adults as one congruous body, and nominating the most backwards candidate in decades is a sure recipe for Millennialengagement disaster.

Not only is Hillary Clinton the least charismatic candidate we’ve seen in quite some time, she and her policy staff have such a genuine disconnect between what a TV caricature describes as a Millennial and who Millennials actually are.

To assume loan forgiveness programs or abortion on demand are “sexy appeals” to anyone under 30 is to assume we are a sex-craved, nostrings-attached generation, speeding through life without accountability. For the most part, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

In fact, today’s Millennials are not only taking on our own responsibilities of young adulthood, we’re also taking on the responsibilities that older politicians like Clinton have handed down to us.

Whether it’s the national debt, the soon to be non-existence of Social Security, riots in our streets or terrorists approaching our shores, these are the realities of a new America we have inherited. Our responsibilities are to save our republic by restoring order, safety and financial solvency, all while starting our lives.

Donald Trump would do well to understand the uncertainty Millennials are facing in regards both to this election and to their future.

Millennials, on the other hand, would do well to take one step past rejecting the business-as-usual Clinton candidacy, and join the movement to Make America Great Again. Staying home or voting for anyone else is asking for more debt, greater despair and further deterioration of our country — the land of “opportunity” and the bedrock upon which most of us will build our entire lives.

Only one thing is certain: Our country’s future is up in the air, and the youth vote is up for grabs.
