Oh, if only you had listened to me. It might not have become Donald Trump's America empowered by Mitch McConnell's un-American constitution bashing.
I really need you to focus this time. It's for your own good, mine, your grandchildren and the world! I'm voting for Bernie Sanders. He wants to shake things up.
With all your and grandma and grandpa's talk and activism through the years have you truly seen systemic change in our political or social system? We are in crisis mode and I need you to step up to the plate.
You told me I could achieve whatever I sought and taught me not to accept the status quo. This is America, you said. Anything is possible. Yet here I am, four years later, still burdened with college debt that stresses me out all the time.
They say the job market's great but I can't find a decent job. Climate change is destroying the world, overt racism is flourishing, poverty is rampant and we are closer to a civil war than we were when I mentioned it four years ago.
And let's not even discuss health-care! Four more years of Donald Trump and we'll all have even worse or no coverage. Forget about existing conditions.
I'm telling you this for your own good and it hurts me more than it does you to say this - but your generation screwed up royally.
I'm scared about the future. My student loans probably won't even be paid off before my kids are ready for college.
The Republican's Supreme Court is poised to overturn one of your generation's accomplishments, Roe v. Wade. Are you willing to stand by and let it happen?
Most politicians come from the same mold. They are not visionaries. Some of them hold very good positions, but their approaches are similar: lame, ordinary and ineffective. Even the ones that seem to have good values often get them from the latest daily poll. NOT BERNIE!
You lectured me for years about taking responsibility. I'm really disappointed that you don't seem to have the strength of your convictions.
