They do not see minors as brainless zombies... they see minors as non-voters.
NO politician wants to "waste time" on someone that cannot help them get elected. It is a harsh reality, although it is a reality.
There was a talk show that had a kid stand in the reception line to get an interview with former First Lady Hillary Clinton (during her regime), and she blew the kid off to talk to someone else. She literally pushed the kid aside (gently) to get past her... why? She didn't voter, and she didn't have the money to put into a re-election fund.

Because most politicians have been to hell and back and don't feel you have been properly seasoned.
You do have a voice though. I watch enough television to notice you are a major target audience.
You'll get plenty of chances when you're older, no need to be in a hurry. Getting old comes soon enough.

Take a look around in your local homeroom class. Are those the people you would trust with your future?
