I think we desperately need to get away from the two party system and I hope to see that happen. A lot of US citizens are actually more libertarian than democrat or republican, they just don't realize it. But yes it is funny (not in a haha kind of way) that the republicans hold the power right now yet the tax code still gets more complicated for the little guy and benefits the wealthy. Sure maybe we'll pay a tiny bit less in taxes but every year they make it more complicated to file.
I hope you're right that the millenial generation makes things right with their votes eventually. And yes you're right millenials do get a bad rap. I fall right between the millenial generation and Gen X as I was born at the end of 1979. I think there's some new term for that year and the couple of years before and after but I can't recall...
I think if you're between them, you're a "tweener". :) Since you're much closer to the millennials than I am, you seem to have a better feel for them. I'm a Boomer, but I'm right on the edge, so not so sure of my demographic.
I am with you on a move away from a two party system. I'm hopelessly non-partisan, so I just go with the policies, not the identities. I am hopeful the millennials will see the folly of the two-party system and replace it with something much better.
