I wouldn't have a problem with 2 years of mandatory public service with no deferrments. Forrest Service, Peace Corps, Conservation Corps/Earth Day style cleanup, TSA, Border Patrol/Armed Forces (thousands of young women rotating through might do wonders to help flush out toxic masculinity culture).

Criminalize non-sanctioned births?

Here's an explanation of why that argument hasn't held for conscription.

Right. In other rulings, the SC has said that mandatory community service is also does not violate the "involuntary servitude" words of the 13th Amendment. Both sets of rulings are BS rationalizations as far as I'm concerned.

Another story about how young people tend to lean left politically (because guess what? It's freaking NATURAL to do so ... ) but gosh darn it, the Party of the "left" isn't pure enough for them.
[www.washingtonpost.com]
Will they vote Democrat sufficiently to gain power to improve things from within? Er, doesn't that stifle my morally pyrrhic victory of staying home? I demand satisfaction TODAY.
Will they continue historically low voter turnout, yet lament being ignored by mainstream Democrats? No points are awarded for the correct answer here.
**************
As the article states, voter participation among the young increased in last year and is expected to even greater next year. That's apparently "how bad" it is for them.
Today's more liberal faction of the party, a few of which are actually running for President(!) and/or have made it to Congress, will not be part of the problem of imperfection if they (for example) wind up voting for Biden. Will millennials who admire them act similarly?
**************
If I'm "talking down to them" or making them feel stupid, how is that better done?

Sorry, could you connect the dots for me on that?
