35. hey Bill...i'm no millennial, but i know what their problem is...

Apr 2016

they are in the same situation i am in on Sunday afternoon in football season:

my favorite team (KC Chiefs) keeps me involved and interested and excited...and i pay attention to other teams in their division just to keep abreast of my team's overall situation...

but the other 28 or so teams don't get much, if any, attention from me...because they are just more of the same old game and i have virtually no connection to them...

it's been that way since the '60s for me...and should, for some reason, my favorite team be dismantled and moved to another city with different owners...well, i would probably, tough as it would be, no longer have a favorite, life-long, since i was a kid football team to cheer for...

that is what has happened to the Democratic Party...in the '80s it got 'sold' and moved away from its core principles, went over to the DLC/Third Way RepublicanLite™ Party...and left all of its Left Progressive members behind...but wanted them to still support the 'new Dems' because, after all, they still carried the name 'Democratic Party'...

the millennials have never had the opportunity, let alone the satisfaction of supporting a party that upheld principles of fairness and equality and trying to make America a better society for all its citizens...

no...they only see two parties promoting basically the same programs...with only enough differences to look 'different'...but they see the money people getting everything they want and everybody else getting screwed...

i feel sorry for the millennials...i've, we've, all been putting up with this shit for 30 years or so...we know the difference...the millennials don't have any perspective about how things could be...

but Bernie is showing them some light at the end of a tunnel they didn't even know they were in....so there is hope...i just hope i live to see it because it doesn't look like it is going to happen too damn soon...
