One quote from the Rollcall article stood out to me

“When they do show up, it’s 22-year-old kids from the Ivy League,” Sadler said. “And they’re telling you what do, as opposed to stopping and listening.”


It reminded me of a You Tube video by a classical liberal German that I subscribe to.
Comment as you see fit.
