Have been so impressed with some young podcasters, and would like to see young people of this caliber in Congress...

....examples like Adam Mockler and Aaron Parnas among others....they are are genuine and strong in their beliefs.

We need young people like this in Congress.

The minimum age for the House is 25 and it's 30 for the Senate.

A lot of voters have given up on either party making a difference. That is why the independents are growing, and the two major parties are stagnating. I have not seen a liberal podcaster talk about this. Everything is Democrats versus Republicans.
