More in Common mourns for Mr. Kirk and his family. And we hope that his death might be a reminder to all Americans, and especially its leaders, that the success of our experiment in self-governance rests in choosing dialogue, the only alternative to violence.

Mr. Kirk was famous for sitting across from people he disagreed with, often on college campuses, and hashing it out. In his death, the country no longer has a young man committed to the practice of political persuasion.

"In a stunning new poll by the nonprofit @moreincommonus.bsky.social, 93% of Dems & 73% of GOP agree “US should be a world leader in developing clean energy.” Virtually every Kentuckian over the years favored govt help in getting the coal slurry out of drinking water & welcomed alternative energy."

In the words of a 26-year-old Hispanic woman, “What is the point of voting and choosing different people for us to have a better country? It’s a mess. We don’t get the attention […] We don’t have a voice for us. What is the point of doing this?”

But our in-depth report tells a different story: Gen Z's dissatisfaction with democracy isn't a rejection of American values. Rather, it's a hunger to see democracy work, a promise they've been told their whole lives – but have yet to see fulfilled.
