Generation Z is tougher than you might think. We can’t relate to millennials who grew up in the '90s bliss of brick cell phones and Tamagotchis. Those who knew a world before the Twin Towers collapsed, before mass shootings were live-streamed on Facebook and before climate change accelerated to a point of no return.

I’m graduating this December, but my biggest regret in college is never taking a gap semester from school. It feels cliché to say that college slips away quickly, but it really does.

For a few years during my childhood, I grappled with an existential fear of dying. I loathed getting into cars, going on planes or just falling asleep — losing my consciousness and drifting into the unknown resembled death a little too closely. I remember being 12 and staring helplessly at my bedroom ceiling the night after watching the "Planet of the Apes" reboot movie. Not because superhuman apes ruled society, but because a pandemic was able to kill 99 percent of humans, and that seemed both possible and entirely out of my control.

Discourse ranged from the feasibility of health care plans — all of which are fever dreams under Mitch McConnell's leadership — to allegations Michael Bloomberg told a pregnant employee to “kill it”. But it’s the question no one can objectively answer that will decide this primary: Who has the best chance at defeating Donald Trump and Republicans down-ballot?
