Politics really should be a compulsory subject in High School.

know I have a better idea of the American political process than many Hillary supporters do, what's your point? Stop generalizing and attacking candidates' supporters at every possible chance, it contributes nothing to this race. We all know Bernie does much better with millennials, it's a given that they won't have the same knowledge regarding the political process (a frowned-upon, appeals-as-very-boring-and-uncool subject) as Hillary supporters do (whom are, statistically, older and more likely to have voted many many times before).
The fact that these millennials are being engaged in civics and voicing their opinions on the issues (no matter how dumbfounded the explanations may sound sometimes) is enough for now (and Hillary agrees with this). They'll grow to know more by time. I think one of the main reasons young people run away from the political process is because of demonizing comments like these; they need to be brought in, not left out.
I remember someone on this thread saying that the idea of millennials getting more civically-engaged and having a solid say in politics was 'absolutely terrifying' to them - that comment was
absolutely terrifying to me.
