[Jakes Progress]

484. Still missing the point,

while still helping republicans divide progressives. Let me guess - 23?

If you want to grow, to help, to learn, go back and read your posts as if you didn't write them. Then pretend it is forty years later. You have marched in protests and been arrested for doing so, supported union strikes, spent thousands of hours canvassing and campaigning for the most liberal candidates you can. Then you read shit like your posts.

Just stating the obvious (that most older people vote more conservatively) as if it were a revaluation that you had personally divined and yipping it over and over like it was something new, doesn't serve to do anything helpful.

(Just to help you understand what happens, most of those old geezers voting republican weren't republican when they were young. You like figures so much, you need to understand that those cool dudes you hang out with now will likely become republican assholes when they make a little money. Hell, look at the odds and chances are you will too. Your desire to castigate people by class or age or whatever, indicates tendencies that could just go bad if you don't learn from those of us who have spent your years avoiding that.)
