2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Who are the people who give Sanders a higher % over Trump than Clinton? [View all]puffy socks
(1,473 posts)10.8% unemployment rate -the constant "you're lucky to have a job" intimidation so we'd work for pennies , etc. but I didn't go around blaming the Democrats for not getting things done when the country was lied to professionally, and at a time when we couldn't just look it up other expert opinions on the internet. That is true up until around yr 2000.
I'm so tired of these millennials who pretend previous generations haven't been fighting fro Progressive values.
Really? How did we get the civil rights act? How did women get the right to legally sign contracts?
How did women start getting jobs as executives? How did we discover that CEOs were taking so much of the wealth earned by the hands of others?
How in the world did they get all this info on the history of the GOP, the kinds of things they were up to?
From the people who fought from the previous generations, that's who.
Now they pretend they are the only ones who see what's going on and it's laughable ..we KNOW, we've known since before these people were rolling down their prospective Fallopian tubes.
They just haven't figured out you can't fight the system from outside the system unless you want violence and that doesn't jibe with wanting peace, as they claim. I was hoping the millennials would be smarter about unity, they are not.
Good people will be fighting this fight forever. It is an ongoing battle and always has been. The only way to get control without violence is to out number the fanatics from both sides in the established system.
What's really going to bake the noodles of the millennial BoBers is... after 25 years they when they still haven't managed to get past the latest tactics and lies from the right wing, and they still refuse to unify as a team and so don't have free college, universal health care, and the corporations still are still crapping on labor and making trade deals that don't favor them... their children will blame them for not fighting hard enough, for allowing things to remain "status quo" and they will be thrown to the wolves just as they are doing to older generations today.
