I was wondering if you guys would elaborate on the comparison you make with politicians in the US southern states during the 1930-1940. Are there no issues being discussed? Are DR elections an exercise in character assassination?
Also, I am really interested in the OP's question regarding the younger voter. I think most voters respond to politicians who offer them something. When you say offer them something 'personally' are you referring to something more direct? Do younger voters tend to be more informed? When I think about politics in the DR, I am reminded of an old Machiavellian line, "the strong do what they have the power to do and the weak accept that which they must accept." Is this changing? Are young voters feeling more empowered?
