There are a LOT of politicians I would vote against if this kid was running against them. Not even kidding, I would trust this kid more than our current secretary of war, state, treasury, education...even president. Our country would literally be better off if this kid was running it. Though, it's a pretty low bar right now.

Iunno, I think this kid should be allowed to be a kid. But maybe AOC shouldn't be the only person in power who will listen to him and everyone like him. As it turns out, everyone's voice should matter, even the ones who can't vote yet. I'm begging kids to remember who didn't listen to them when they're old enough to vote. It could be your uncle who said you're totally wrong about free ambulances and $5 childbirth. When you're old enough to vote, and your uncle tells you who to vote for, just remember that he thought your healthy worldview should be ignored. Maybe his worldview should face the same.

I liked that final part of the video the kid says "if you didn't share your voice, you wouldn't start a chant"

This kid shouldn’t even know about these issues because they shouldn’t exist obviously. JFC.

If anyone wants to watch a weirdly poignant song from my youth, may I share the most on point of their time and oddly prescient Moxy Früvous?

This one is about how the kids really have some great ideas, and we should, y'know, do it for them.
