Giving up before you even thought about going to the polls?
Being free is being free to vote for whoever you damn well please to vote for, shrugging off old fogey ideology that says "This is the way it is, and it must stay this way."
Oh hey, I'm a Gen-X. I am not invested in any of the above, because my generation got the finances and life sucked out of us and we still vote for Democratic candidates.
We just don't vote for the ones the fogeys want us to vote for:
Exhibit A:
That gentleman was repeatedly told that he could not win. That he was too "radical".
He was so damn radical that he got elected twice.
Exhibit B:
This man is repeatedly told that he cannot win. He is too "Radical".
He's so damn radical that he tied the "shoo-in" in Iowa, and bested the inevitable candidate by over 20% in NH.
Knocking the Gen-Xers and the Millennials down is going to take a hell of a lot more grunt that the folks that just sit back and criticize have to offer. I think all of us know it will take a lot of energy to combat the "you are lazy because you won't vote for the inevitable, and you want to ride a unicorn".
The fact is, however, that we have a shit load more energy than the people that are griping about how it cannot be done - we are not only ignoring the naysayers, we are busy doing what needs to be done.
Get out of the way if you don't want to move forward, and don't cry if dust gets in your hair and on your clothes. That's because we left you behind.
