We keep being told that 'pubs are dying out because their main support come from older, Caucasians who are merely stuck in their ways. I'm as liberal as they come, but I know this is bullshit. Democrats should stop saying this shit, it allows younger Caucasians to see their situation as something that needs saving. It's not. America is great BECAUSE of it's diversity, which includes older Caucasians. Stop this bullshit liberals and progressives. I can't fucking stand the nazi swine posing as republicans, and I completely disagree with all of the social platform and most of the economic platform of the GOP. That being said, we are the big tent party, not only is their room for older Caucasians, but just like America, there is room for everyone. If we don't want to fall into the "race trap" that republicans find themselves in, we will need to stop emphasizing that it's young black and brown vs old and white. We must emphasize the Americaness of us all, regardless of what color one's skin appears to be or what age one happens to be.
