A word for young people, people of color and, in particular, young people of color:
Maybe you find that hard to believe. Maybe you wonder how the party can be scared of you -- or of anybody -- given that it controls all three branches of the federal government and most of the nation's state houses. You're worried about paying your student loans, putting food on the table, getting home without becoming some cop's mistake, and the GOP is scared of you?
See, the party knows that if everybody votes, it can't win. That's simple math. The Republican electorate skews sharply older and white.
