In reply to the discussion: Exploring a theory about age and party loyalty [View all]bravenak
(34,648 posts)The democratic party hates itself so much that i cannot call myself exactly loyal. We apparently hate president Obama and he is the reason i call myself a dem. Like many millinials i have not voted in many cycles and 2 out of three i have voted for obama. I can't stay loyal to a party that hates my favorite president, but i also can never vote republican.
I remind myself daily that DU is not representative of the average democrat and that keeps me in the Party. Once my generation takes over the reins things will improve and the country will shift left at a more rapid pace. Younger democrats are not conservative, so there will be no blue dogs to appease. And the repulicans will be mostly dead or in nursing facilities. One can only hope they haven't spread the sickness.
We have a choice right now between moving toward a handmaids tale dystopia or a star trek future.
And we have already decided, the right knows it and it scares the shit out of them. The left knows it too they are just so beat down from years of 'reaganing' that they lack the confidence to fight. Of course the republicans fight harder and scream louder. They are cornered rats trying to protect their nests. You can call us the exterminators. The revolution is already won. Our numbers grow daily while they die off. And my kids will be far more liberal then i am.
So conservatives, enjoy the end of your second gilded age. When your rich asses are old we will make you pay and mock you at the same time. Looking at the koch boy on tee vee today let me know the mocking has begun. And it shall never end.
