25. You understand what the word "never" means, right?

No, it wasnt a non issue. The same sorts of societal changes that were already percolating up through issues like marriage equality, were happening there, too.

Change didnt start appearing on the surface until 2012, because of increasing numbers of Millennials reaching voting age.

The beltway DNC conventional wisdom nimrods still think it is 2002, "values voters" rule the elecotrate, and they have NO friggin clue about things like legalization, which they (unlike some of us) never saw coming for a minute.

Hell, if they hadnt been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century on marriage equality, they'd probably still be blibbering gibberish about "the sacred foundation of marriage is between a man and a woman".

And in case you havent noticed, pols like DWS have NO freakin' clue how ro relate to millennials.

As for her primary challenge, I wouldnt underestimate it.
