    Only been hearing this narrative for 20+ years.

    I’m in my 40s so it’s 30 years for me. This tim the self-absorbed youngsters on iPhones make a difference!

    If only they can navigate the troubled waters of registration and actually voting

    Its hard

    That's why we need to enact the Rats plan to register everyone automatically and then allow Democrat party members to collect their ballots.

    If the Dems wanted to be diabolical and could get away with it, have voting done with phone apps.

    I grew up in the 1960s and generally in my peer group everyone was pretty interested in politics. I was basically Alex P. Keaton without the briefcase. Lots of bleeding heart liberals and anti-Vietnamers. About half of those were pro communist and the other half just wanted the US out. The huge anti-Vietnam rallies make anything that BLM and antifa have put together look like a Slo Joe rally. What strikes me about my kids and their friends is the complete antipathy to anything political in that they just don't want to know about any political issue. Just go with the flow. Tell a 25 year old that BLM is a pro-communist organization that is using a few black deaths to promote the end of capitalism and total federal control of country in all matters, they will think that you are a nutter and are lying. They just assume that since they are nice people, anyone with BLM is also a nice person. Ask the most basic question about the fraud of global warming and you get platitudes. Just like asking a leftard to define black for AA purposes. For most of the left, AA is a core position. They just don't want to deal with any of the niceties.

    We need to make it easier on them. This generation has had it so rough. Is there an app for that?

    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.
