    I feel this would work in theory, but in practice the path of least resistance for a political party wouldn’t be to appeal to young voters and teach policy. It would be to crank up the indoctrination machine and encourage parents to do so too.

    I’m sure some families would teach their children how the world works, but most would just not change; or they’d indoctrinate and abuse their kids to supporting their political party (even harder than before).

      That’s happening anyway. You’re describing the current world we live in.

      You know what would help kids see through their parents’ bullshit? If adults and other kids were talking directly to them about issues relevant to their lives.
