that time it would be too late.

I'm done dragging people along.

Reject the single most powerful bloc of potential voters in the nation.

Don’t waste time and energy on attempting to motivate them to get to the polls, eff ‘em!.

With a strategy like that, we can never lose!

Catering explicitly to the youth vote is as useless as doing the same for the independent vote. Just get good on the right issues for everyone. Our message and methods really aren't complicated or secrets. D's are happy to hear new ideas, and some may actually get on to the platform someday, but it takes time (just ask Gen X).

In the meantime, if people are so wrapped up with their single issues that they can't eat some shit to go vote for the obviously better of two candidates, I really have no time for them. They are impotent. You'll never, please them, so spend your time elsewhere.

We stand for health, education and safety, and by now everybody on the planet knows exactly how our take on achieving that differs from Republicans. In the modern connected era, it's impossible not to, in great detail, ad infinitum...

So yes, if you aren't down with that, please stay home. You were never really here.

GROW UP GEN Z.

VOTE!

Although turn out among young voters is below other age groups, it has improved significantly during the Trump era.

They are far from impotent - their abstention in 2024 cost Harris the election.

There are more independent voters than either Democrats or republicans.

When they vote, Young voters are the most consistent, reliable progressive voters in the country.

An increase of young voter turnout of even just 10% would give Dems landslide victories,, even in some areas thought to be solid red.

Meanwhile the consultant class is raking in big bucks telling Dems to go after Trump voters in Midwest diners.



Currently, according to numerous polls, Dems do not have a reputation as fighters for the American people. That is on the Dems, not the voters. With saboteurs like Manchin, Sinema and now Fetterman, Dems aren’t achieving much of anything, even when they have majorities.

You don’t combat apathy and cynicism with arrogance, dismissal, and “eff ‘em”.

That is the path to permanent minority status.

That’s my response to apathy and cynicism. Dead weight. If you don’t care, I certainly don’t. Your momma don’t work here.

I hope you’re not volunteering with any campaigns.

Because with an attitude like that, you would meet the definition of “dead weight”.

Most people don't lead, most of the time, even if they really deserve to. They have to be patient and do their time, like everyone before. That's why folks don't get much sympathy when they whine about no one letting them lead. It's the human condition, and entropy fixes it eventually.

Free life lesson.

And you’re saying that fixes “the human condition “?

Who says?

They can also choose to opt out, as nine million 2020 voters did in 2024, or refuse to sit down and shut up.

I think AOC, Maxwell Frost and Anderson Clayton would disagree with your perspective.

I don’t make the rules. Everyone doesn’t get to be governor or president. Some get it multiple times. Life is unfair.

True leaders don’t listen to what “Life Says”.

Your flip answers show little insight or understanding of how things can be, only of how you expect them to be.

I agree. They should get off their asses.

That was proven in 2024.

Are they doing better now? More cash, better laws, more egalitarian life?

I hate Trump with a passion, but these apathetic young leaders really juiced my investments and home value by teaching us all a lesson on leadership and staying home in 2024. I’d sleep better knowing we all had some sort of benefit from their voice, but I don’t think that is the case.

It spoke to me, and told me they are short sighted.
