“We feel like we’ve been ripped off by the ‘American dream’ idea ‒ we’ve seen the financial repercussions of our parents’ and grandparents’ generations multiple times over, seen a lot more violence and war than we were originally told would happen, and we feel ripped off,” he said. “The lack of voting is probably a little bit of a middle finger to those who passed that to us.”

This is how I feel.
