In reply to the discussion: Biden Taunts Protestor Calling for a Freeze on Deportations: 'You Should Vote for Trump' [View all]LenaBaby61
(6,991 posts)And this young kid is EXTREMELY bright--IS going to graduate as his class valedictorian (4.00 GPA). At 17 HE KNOWS his politics, but for some reason there's this disconnect where while he understands that thuglicans are currently un-America and really aren't open to diversity. He loathes tRumputin, and understands the HOLD putin has over tRump. But, he chooses to blame Dems for not hearing him or younger people. He thinks that Dems aren't listening which equals "They don't care about us." He and his Mom are at odds, because he told her that he won't vote, and many in his classes said that they won't vote either. He says he's in California and that tRump has no chance of winning it. He says he'll vote down ballot
His Mom said she asked him about others his age living in other states if they decide to just not vote--do they get that if tRump gets in there for an 8 year term, they'll be nothing for them to SAVE. This country will be a Banana Republic. He said everybody has the right to vote or not vote
Lord have all the mercies for young folks who think this way.
The kid's enrolled in advanced classes, and his history teacher has his class following the Impeachment hearings. The kid knows the deal. Knows and sees how childish, ignorant and treasonous thuglicans are. YET, he feels that Dems should be doing WAY more to help those who are looking for a better life, and defending the rights of ALL minorities. HOW are Dems going to 'do' anything, when thuglicans, lead by an un-American, treasonous, criminal con-man whose being threatened by putin to do his bidding to totally DESTROY the USA, OR ELSE.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
