2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Which group of reliable democrats are YOU willing to lose to get White Men to vote Democratic? [View all]cliffside
(492 posts)Is there point at which you stop dividing people by the color of their skin tone, their age etc.
This tone seeks to divide, not unite people around common issues, but here we are in late 2016 and the same divisiveness continues in your posts.
Those that misread this election season have left us with a horrible choice and I can only hope we start to rebuild a party that listens to the needs of all people!
formerly posted as slipslidingaway, still falling off a cliff, unless we hold our party to account and seek to unite.

41. After you old guys are gone the rest of us will make up the new majority.
I think it will take much less time than the estimates project. I have two children, he has four, i expect to have two more and that will still mean i will have the least amount of children for a Lady in my family. My grandmother had ten. Most of my friens have several already and are continuing to procreate. Many of my white friends are in mixed marriages and have several children who identify as asian or black or hispanic not white. Minorities are not cozy with wall street for the most part, and women especially single one are less likely to vote Republican. So in twenty years we will not have 2 Parties run by Old white Dudes who service the rich. We will be voting ourselves a right good part of their money, praise R'hllor.
You got to realize that power is shifting towards a more liberal society and that it is the old white men who are standing in the way of progress, passing shit laws and fighting against womens rights. The kids growing up see their congressmen screeching about illegals, urban youths, thugs, wetbacks and more. They will not be voting for Republicans. And Democrats better get our shit together and start bringing in the next generation quickly before Republicans decide to get smart, steal our platform, and out voters. Because sorry to tell you, the youth is not interested in the NSA all day everyday, they post every private thought they have on Tumblr, facebook, etc.
They will kill wall street when they get their time. I'll be right here helping them find the means. And we need their help to do it because the old party bosses still control the legislature, for now.
The only way to get the votes is to get the voters engaged. And horror stories about how much you hate Obama is not a good lure when you are fishing in a pond of Obama supporters, and the youth , women, lgbt's, and minorities are supporters of this President. You are driving them away and losing us votes.
