Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: All the way to the convention, Bernie! [View all]greenjar_01
(6,477 posts)137. They been saying the same shit for 60 years
The problem for your argument is that the same people who support this shit in their 20's, when they don't vote, move away from it when they are responsible for other tiny humans, in their 30's and 40's. And tiny humans have a way of grounding the airy bullshit. It's been the same dynamic throughout the post-war period. So, quite frankly, "this ideology is the future because it is the ideology of the young" is a profoundly stupid argument. The young change their views. They always do.
