A new national poll of America’s 18- to 29-year-olds by Harvard’s Institute of Politics (IOP), located at the Kennedy School of Government, finds that nearly two-thirds (64%) of young Americans have more fear than hope about the future of democracy in America.
For the first time, the Harvard Public Opinion Project asked a series of questions about how responsible 18- to 29-year-olds believed different groups were for the existing problems in American politics and society today. Politicians were viewed as very or somewhat responsible by at least 7-in-10 young Americans, regardless of political affiliation. Money in politics and the media were mentioned by at least 6-in-10 Democrats, Republicans and Independents.
Young Democrats under 30 blamed politicians (77% responsible), Donald Trump (77% responsible), money in politics (75% responsible), structural racism (69% responsible) and lack of access to higher education (66% responsible) as the most significant factors responsible for the state of politics and society today.
The top five factors Republicans believe are responsible are: the media (72%), politicians (70% responsible), political correctness (64% responsible), money in politics (63% responsible), with other Americans (45%), a distant fifth.

Too bad no one asks them about a Constitutional Republic protecting their Personal Liberty.
does this include the Tide-Pod eaters?
Perhaps they should put on black masks, shout down some speakers, destroy some public and private property, intimidate people peacably assembling, then monkey stomp a few 70 year old black veterans. That should help restore civilized government
The yougsters need to realize that they are more than observers of their future.
And they are grossly ill-educated on history and sadly indoctrinated on ideology.
What a future we’ve got!
Democracy is definitely in peril if yinz guys keep voting for Socialist Fascists.
The problem is that their definition of Democracy is a leftist nanny state. They have no idea what Democracy actually is and the concept of a Constitutional Republic is completely foreign to them.
Yet they are the brainwashed nit wits who are destroying it.
Harvard must be right. Ver.i.tas = T.ur.uth.
Nearly Two-Thirds of Young Americans Fearful About the Future of Democracy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Indeed they should, The nation and its education system is ruled by liberal fascists who want their Utopia now by diminishing our constitutional liberties and this is how it happens:
“Barrack Obama: The Quintessential Liberal Fascist”
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html
People like Mark Zuckerberg, the Joseph Goebbels of the liberal fascist movement, mean to use censorship and propaganda to make it happen.
You bet that nearly 2/3 of them feel that way, they are right on the money. That’s why they should support PDJT who is now dismantling the liberal fascist crime syndicate mob from our government, in a Battle Royal with Bob Mueller, the weaponized DOJ and FBI.
You can tell, by what they are worried about, that the brainwashing is having an effect.
Democracy has no future.
the choices are Representative Republic, Theocracy, or Fascism.
Take your pick.
While our generation is in fear of the loss of our Constitutional Republic!
Actually, the ridiculous hysteria about Trump, who is a boorish personality, but no Nazi, white supremacist or Russian agent, and modern youth’s embrace of socialism, toxic identity politics and intolerant SJWism, all make me worry about the future of democracy...
Looking at the breakdownext of issues, they themselves are the problem. The youth will lose their freedoms and blame others for the fascism they caused.
If they were correctly educated they would have a fear OF Democracy, not be in fear for it. 2 wolves and sheep voting on what’s for supper.
You smelt it, you dealt it.
