My Gen Z nephew brought his Gen Z girlfriend to Thanksgiving

First time she had met any of us. She introduced herself, shook hands, made eye contact. She was polite and took part in the conversations. If she had a phone with her she didn't look at it while she was there. It was a nice antidote to some of the hype I'd heard about the upcoming generation.

that their vote matters. And frankly, I don’t begrudge them their skepticism.
