You have GOT to watch this kid's video! I promise, it will make your day! I mean it!

Last edited Fri Jun 26, 2015, 04:31 PM - Edit history (2)

I don't know how old he is, but damn, he knows his politics. If he were old enough, he should be running for office himself.

Our future depends on young people like this, listening to him gave me hope for that future.

It's approx 9 mins and gets better as it progresses.

Best 9 mins I 'wasted' today!

He hits every issue this campaign is about. Right on target.

You can follow him on twitter here:

Edited to add his Utube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjosnmxL4IButYF8BMaURSQ

He's got some more great stuff on there.

Thanks to heda_foil for finding his Utube Account.

He actually understands the issues, which they clearly have little interest in.

I hope Bernie sees his work and puts in charge of a campaign to sign up young people. His enthusiasm is infectious. He could speak at colleges eg, on behalf of Bernie.

If I were in high school, which I am guessing he is, I would so be all up in that! He reminds me of my group of friends back then, with the passion and thirst for knowledge and need to share it.

I want to adopt him.

I think he could help build a newer template of future American presidents in his day later that will hopefully put the last person of color that giving a speech there that lead him to be president.

He would be such a great person to speak on the issues, but also could represent that generation that needs all the help it can get by us giving IMMEDIATE attention if Bernie were to get elected in stopping climate change. It is people like him that will be the ones more directly affected than we are. They need a voice!

read they are the largest group in the country right now, bigger than the boomers AND our leaders with their neoliberal policies have burdened them with student loans that are more like taking on a mortgage. Not to mention all the other wonderful things they will inherit IF they don't get involved now.

Looks to me like they may be the most active politically, group in the country right now.

They are very supportive of Bernie eg, were involved in Occupy, because they understood what was going on, and I think they are probably far more informed than their parents, not dependent on the Corporate Media for their news.

right now and he's rattling off statistics and is so passionate in his delivery. I would have thought he was in his forties but he's so young, probably in high school.

He would be so great working for Bernie. Hope they get to see him. I have a feeling he is signing people up anyhow.

I will add this link to the OP if it's okay with you.

He is definitely going places ...

But I guess he didn't get the memo that all people of color have already endorsed Clinton according to DU! And young people who don't like old people. And people.

Watched the intro and he reminds me of some of my students back in the day. He knows what's up and can't be fooled. He also doesn't buy into the nonsense (campaign generated) talking point of social vs economic justice which means he is smarter than a many on DU.

Thanks for sharing!!
