And so, in two months, you get to choose the path that will actually lead to a better future. You have the chance to prove the cynics wrong one more time.
And the other side is going to spend these next two months — they are going to spend more money than you’ve ever seen in your life. They will have an avalanche of attack ads and insults and distractions. And sometimes, they’ll just — how do I put it — they will fib. (Laughter.)
And they’ve got $10-million checks from wealthy donors who like things just the way they are. They’re counting on you young people to just accept their version of the way things ought to be, to just kind of leave the questions that affect your lives up to big oil and insurance companies; up to politicians that decide what a woman can or can’t do when it comes to her own health. That’s what they’re counting on. That’s their strategy.
I’m counting on something different. I’m counting on you. (Applause.) I’m counting on you. Those who oppose change, those who benefit from the status quo, they’ve always bet on cynicism. They always bet on complacency. But throughout America’s history, they have lost that bet, and they’re going to lose it this time, too. And that’s because of you.
It depends on you registering to vote. It depends on you showing up to vote. It depends on you refusing to wait for the next person, or the person next to you in class, or the person in the next town, or the person in another state. It’s going to depend on you to close that gap between what America is and what we know it can be. (Applause.)
