As luck would have it, after the election I found myself giving a lecture to between 40 and 50 students at an American University media and public policy class. So many of them didn’t understand how so many in this country could knowingly vote for a man and a political party that want to take away their rights and control their bodies. AdvertisementAs I spent these few hours with them, it was clear that these students feel unseen by the political system. Every election cycle, everyone asks how to get young Americans to turn out more robustly, to engage and activate. After talking with these students, I think the answer is simple: Engage them like adults.
