Yes, Millennials also cost us the election.

32. But I have news for you

Kennedy left us more than 50 years ago, and Vietnam ended more than 40 years ago. We have new issues and new challenges and an entirely new technological, ecomic, and ethnically diverse society.

I guess I forgot to mention that we learned--or should have learned--that living in the past is as useless as living in an imaginary future. We don't forget the lessons of the past (yes, I marched in the streets with the mounted police and tear gas in the sixties, and I marched in the streets against the invasion of Iraq in the 2000s), but we don't pretend that that history is the present. We neither cling to old battles nor tilt at windmills of a utopian future. We fight each problem, little and big, as they come.

That's what's called being a grown up. Some call it establishment or elitist. But it's really just grown up.
