Should we encourage our younger people into politics or...?

First of all there is no politician on the national level that gives a damn about the little guy. The rich are not the enemy though so stop making them that. I do agree that good people are afraid to get into politics because the opposition will search for the one thing you have done wrong in your life and will intentionally bring it into the public eye to humiliate you and for no other reason than to gain power for themselves. None of us are perfect but some will pretend they are while outing others with whom they disagree and that is disgraceful
