j reacts to the irrelevance, and actual obscurity, of watergate in 2016

the vast majority of eligible voters have never heard of watergate, and most of those who have heard of it barely understand what it was about.

let's say you were young in 1970. 20. you'd be 66 years old today.

the reality is that you'd have to be retired to remember nixon.

it's ancient history.

i just want a shift in discourse. these dinosaurs are so out of touch that it's just getting surreal.

i'd like to see a survey done of eligible voters to determine how many of them could pick what president it applied to.

easy question.

which president was involved in the watergate scandal?

a) clinton
b) reagan
c) kennedy
d) nixon

i bet you get as many people that say clinton (confusing it with whitewater) as you do that say nixon.
