The death of text.

[LearnedHand]

60. Thank you. This is interesting

However, I think we need to modernize the voting process to accommodate people's changing signature habits and not, as you mentioned, carry on a generational war. Of course, that presents its own issues, given the intense, widespread voter suppression.

It just discourages me so much when a thread about preferring text over video slides into a generic bashing of young people. Clearly the dems can't afford to lose more young people. Maybe we all should celebrate their differences and innovations instead of shouting for them to get off our lawns. Or gods forbid to be more like us.

Edit: I didn't mean to ignore the rest of your well-reasoned thoughts. The need to teach people how to think critically is ENORMOUS and I don't know even where to begin. I mean, the very basics would be a good start: Suspend your judgment, identify whether the speaker/writer has an angenda or was funded by those who do, check additional sources, learn what is and is not a trusted source. These could go a long way way. I suspect that it would take an intensive, long-term psyops effort. Something like Radio America or something.
