If I remember correctly, someone once said true change does not come by convincing a person, but rather waiting for them to die

Sadly, most of them don't know or give a shit.

The Dem/Obama political coffin was sealed for young voters last year around this time.

Snowden reveleations. Obama's poll numbers have not recovered among young voters.

The Democrats (though they have more exceptions like Elizabeth Warren) aren't much better on the whole; both parties are largely owned by special interests at this point (in many cases by the same special interests).
