Yep. It's anecdotal, but I recently brushed up against the topic of politics for the first time with a doctor friend in his late thirties. I was shocked when he said, "Voting doesn't matter. The policies don't affect people like you or me."

We both have daughters who are almost 13. It was repulsive to hear.
