    If this were true Bernie wouldn't have gotten waxed by Joe.

    White kids under 35 went for Bernie - which what I was posting about. Bernie got creamed by older whites, blacks and hispanics.
    They didn't think Bernie could win that's why Bernie lost. The party got everyone else to drop out after Biden won South Carolina and put the full weight of the party behind Plugs.

    Seems like a lot of young rioters for BLM and antifa do.

    When I was in my twenties, I DGAF about politics. I cared about making money and partying on the weekend.

    When I was in my thirties, and I actually started to make money, I started caring about politics, solely from the standpoint of tax policy.

    In my 40s, I care a lot about politics, both for taxes, but equally because I want a stable and safe environment to raise a family in, and I understand wholly that it is dangerous to allow people in their twenties to drive that discussion, because those people are inexperienced in life and don’t know anything outside of what they want or feel in that moment.

    Look at it this way. Would you want a 27yo making decisions for you in your every day life? Of course not. They’re morons, and they have little investment in institutions like family and community. Well, right now, they are absolutely driving the political and social discussion, and it is having an effect on all of us.

    The good thing about young people is that they can be relied upon to not bother to show up and actually vote, because it’s hard, apparently. If voting can ever be done through Instagram, this country is fucked.
