This year's race for the Democratic nominee is fierce, cutthroat, and downright engaging. From barber shops to college campuses, voters all around the country are showing an unparalleled level of enthusiasm. One major hot topic for debate: How is your vote tied to your personal, political and identity politics? In this video, Youth Outlook follows a group of San Francisco high school presidents to get their take on the election, leadership and their visions of democracy.

And, since the basis of any true democracy is civil participation, YO! Youth Outlook Multimedia invites you to a discussion with the high school presidents featured in this segment. In the YO! Youth Forum: Leadership, Politics and the Elections, the discussion that began in this video will continue as the student body presidents engage the audience on issues of leadership, politics and campaigns on both the campus on national trails.
