We’d actually kind of like to stop making fun of David Hogg’s tweets — he is just a kid, really — but even his Twitter background image is a large banner reading, “The young people will win.”
Sadly for him, the young people don’t seem to be turning out to register to vote, not even in Parkland, Fla.
But he remains convinced the young people are the solution to the country’s problems, so much so that he envisions every member of Congress having a young person — that’s it, just a young person, hanging around, in case there are any policy decisions that need a young person’s perspective.
In the next 5 years, I envision having at least one young person for every Congressman and Senator in the United States to make sure they are including young people in their policy decisions.

How young are we talking? Because a lot of Congressional staffers are pretty young. Does he mean a high school kid? So, say, Sen. Orrin Hatch would have his own designated young person to run ideas past?

So, will the congressmen and women just carry them around on a leash like a dog? How would you “have” one young person https://t.co/hGiYQAA1hG

They have this already. They're called congressional staff, aides, and interns. https://t.co/jyE9Y1WZcI

Most politicians already have young interns and staff. https://t.co/DljbZAPCMn

And kids and grandkids of their own. But these would be different young people … we think?

Well, the thing is, the individuals my age have been consuming Tide pods and need counseling when their candidate doesn't get elected. Let's work on maturing a bit before we are having a say in the future of a country.

Plus, we need to lower the voting age to 13. An actual adult person at Bloomberg View said that.
