In reply to the discussion: Millennial poll: Strong majority want a third political party [View all]rainin
(3,246 posts)Note in your second comment to me, you are stating a clear opinion without attacking my children or Bernie supporters at large. While in your previous comment you insulted my children and Bernie Supporters: You need to speak to your two sons about how to JOIN a group and not waltz in then demand the group conform to them. Which is exactly what most, not all, I said most, Bernie supporters who are still throwing a tantrum did. What a novel idea huh.
"waltz, demand, conform, tantrum" I couldn't have written a better example of my point.
If the overwhelming majority of the commenters were insulting, berating, or using ad hominem attacks or other common arguments to attack, defend, disarm, etc. rather than discuss and disagree, I AM MERELY SUGGESTING, that it gets in the way of attracting those who might be valuable to have on the team: independent voters like millennials.
If we want to broaden our reach, perhaps stories like mine can be instructive. For those who want to attract millennial voters, rather than just insult them, my story could be of interest.
Do what you want, of course. I don't care how you like to use a site. I am participating in this exchange because I believe that we all have lots of choices where we can go for our content. I would like the democratic party to improve it's approach with millennials, because they are a huge voting demographic. And I have personal experience that might be useful to members here.
That is why we participate, right? To share our experiences? And perhaps, learn from the experience of others.
