mine are 32, 30 and 28. This is the first Presidential primary any of them have felt inclined to follow -- all because of Bernie. Till this year, the 3 of them have always told me "democracy is an illusion. The system's rigged. They let you vote to give you the illusion that we have a democracy and you matter." Sadly, they genuinely feel that way -- but Bernie's given them hope.

By the way, my oldest two have for several years now consistently told me that they hear talk about the need for a revolution all the time in their cohort group. Bernie's making it happen.
