I happened to be lurking on a board frequented by evangelical young people (20-somethings, a few 30’s) discussing the election, and was stunned to see the overwhelming apathy and fatalism. “Why vote - it makes no difference - they’re both the same” was the prevailing opinion.

That’s not evangelism or youth, that’s ignorance.

I had a Dem friend try to tell me that “neither side presented a clear viewpoint” after we had agreed not to discuss politics. She thought that was not discussing politics because the Dems tell their followers this vague stuff to use as talking points as if it were fact. Sort of like a concern troll. If she had been better informed, she would have seen right through that tactic.

“Both parties are the same” is another one, similar, that I get tired of hearing.
