I'd say Merc is right, but not for the reasons he thinks.
It's because of their apathy.

It's their choice.... you know, that thing Americans are so proud of having.

However, Merc wasn't referring to apathetic youth, quite the opposite by his own description:

The contradiction didn't make sense at the time...

But now I see that apparently, Merc assumes that 'most young people who bitch, complain, protest, and have the loudest mouths on issues in our country today' are not registered to vote, just because he perceives a single young person who does not vote (fresh) to be a bitcher, complainer, etc.

So fresh, you must be the ambassador of 'most young people' who bitch, protest or whatever in our country.

No one gets immunity.
