... both?is he really that ignorant, or just blatantly lying as usual?
France, for one, has birthright citizenship - children born to non-French parents in France can claim their French citizenship at 13 if they wish to do so, or at 18, as long as they are still resident and have been educated in France (by simple declaration in both cases)
no. it would be the exact opposite of a show of defiance.
a show of defiance would be getting the next generation of progressives and socialists elected and moving on triumphantly into the future.
I have ADHD, and it makes it hard for me to do certain tasks where the payoff is far off in the future or abstract. I don’t find it intrinsically motivational. The amount of work logically isn’t that much: Fill out a form, mail it, go to a specific place on a specific day. But those kind of tasks can be hard for me to do if I’m not enthusiastic about it. That’s kind of a problem with social attitudes around, you know, “It’s your civic duty to vote.” I once told a co-worker I didn’t vote, and she said, “That’s really irresponsible,” in this judgmental voice. You can’t build a policy around calling people irresponsible. You need to make people enthusiastic and engaged.

This whole generation being told they can't do things because they have "ADHD" (with basically no diagnosis, ever, just adults telling them they do) and living with the expectation that they will be hand-held through life is just infuriating. And it's my generation and I see it in my friends all the time and it drives me nuts. At least my friends vote, though.
That person is just so fucking lazy and people have told them their whole life that it's OK because they just can't concentrate.
(Please note I'm not saying there's no such thing as ADD or ADHD, because it's not what I'm saying at all.)
I can't vote because the voting center might contain peanuts #millennialvotingexcuses
also, let us pause to realize that Trump just pushed the synagogue massacre out of the headlines.
wow
this fucking place sometimes.
Getting married and owning a home gave me a greater sense of stake in society.
I have always voted since I was 18, eagerly, and sometimes with vengeance in mind. But getting older and having a bank account and a mortgage does change things.
Also, having to vote on a Tuesday kind of sucks.
The truth of the matter is that historically young people vote in lower numbers than old people. Yeah, we are cracking jokes about millennials, but it's not like this is any different than Gen-X not voting in the '90s.
To me I've always been sad that the demographic that is MOST impacted is the one that doesn't vote. Hopefully that changes, but I'm not holding my breath.
