Millennials for Jeb: The perfect confused Web site for a politically confused generation
Washington Post ^ | 2-17-2015 | Philip Bump

There is a lot to be confused by at the new Web site, Millennials for Jeb. Millennials, who are officially* referred to as #Millennials, often shun the sort of aggregated group identity that's implied by a call for the entire generation to vote for the former Florida governor. And yet, here's a Web site encouraging all however-many-million of them to turn out and vote. For Jeb.

"Despite the potential to be a real political force, only 21% of Millennials cast a ballot in the 2014 election," the site reads. "We believe this shows that the current political system does not appeal to Millennials' more moderate nature." Okay. The solution? "Our grand ambition is not just to get Jeb elected president in 2016, but also to raise the level of civic engagement among the Millennial generation."

No one votes because the system is too bifurcated for our delicate moderate sensibilities, so let's all vote for this Republican. Or, to put it more succinctly, in the language of the site's pledge: "We the Millennials, in order to form a more perfect union, pledge to work towards a bipartisan future." That's signed, "Millennials for Jeb."

“We the Millennials, in order to form a more perfect union, pledge to work towards a bipartisan future.”

So if Pubs control both houses of Congress and Jeb is president, they will take bold action, as long as the Democrats approve.

Well, I have not seen that before. That’s real. That actually happened.

Somebody at some ad agency actually put that up. There are no words...no words.

At least under Jeb, we will have a common language.

I always look at that picture and wonder how Chris Hayes looks so much like Rachel Maddow.
