Reminds me for my idea for a reality show start with 20 guys in a house. 19 gay and one straight. If the straight guy remains, he gets all the money. The twist is they are all straight and we pick from the most MAGA alpha males and watch them struggle to be the most gay.

Well, my kids voted for Kamala, and so did the foster kids and strays we took out over the years. Ours was the LGBT friendly household. You’d have nightmares if you knew how many parents try to kill their LGBT kids. But then again they had me. Most kids don’t have someone who’s in politics.

The Democrats didn’t run on that. The Democrats ran on January 6 and protecting democracy from Donald Trump. Hopefully the consequences of their actions will shake a few of them out of their stupor

Well, I had a foster kid who dated a black guy, so we had that whole circle hanging out at the house, and a young trans black man that took refuge at our house for a few years. They were just like all the rest of them, even more radical on some things. They are diverse

What they don’t hear are all the things Republicans are doing because no one tells them. It’s not in the propaganda that’s fed to them or in the newsfeeds they read or the mainstream media. I’ve been using Trump as an excuse to show them why voting strategically is important. Teach harm reduction.

If they are pretty radical, at least the ones I talk to. They’d be cool with Laws outlawing Oil, subsidies, and tax loopholes, removing the electoral college, packing the Supreme Court, abolishing, ice and police departments, restoring, lgbt rights, and taxing billionaires out of existence.

You are now on mute because I can see. I am not going to get anything else but name-calling out of you.

You make it very easy to understand their attitude. They face violence and diminished prospects at the hands of old people who tell them their attitudes are “aggressively stupid,” and if people even repeat their attitudes, they are “defending nonsense.” Why would they join to be silenced?

OK, we different opinion on that, but he’s not wrong about needing to find a way to get young people into the Democratic Party because they universally think it’s a dead fish. My kids grudgingly vote Democratic because they know I’d give them hell if they didn’t, but that’s it. They don’t believe.

I think maybe you forget what it was like to be young. I had a lot of stupid ideas in my head at that age. They know a lot more than I did because of the Internet. They are more suspicious than I was because of the Internet. They’ve seen the old eat their present and future. I’d be pissed.

You do realize most of them were even alive when Clinton got the assault weapons ban passed. They’ve only lived in its absence. And again, name calling, and belittling them will not solve this actual problem. and getting mad at me, the messenger is, let’s say, beyond stupid

Well, you didn’t have to rehearse your own death on a regular basis or hear of your friends being shot, or seeing your friends go off to war over THAT ENTIRE TIME while your economic prospects just simply got worse and worse and worse, and nothing was done for the planet. That’s their experience.

Yeah, I argue with them over the “genocide Joe” thing all the fucking time and it was an Iranian op, but it was amplified by Israel. The Israelis used it to keep Netanyahu in power. I point out all the things Biden did That they’ve never even heard of. It’s a winning argument in the face of what is.

Exactly. When they see Democrats voting in large numbers for Republican proposals, it infuriates them. When they hear pro gun Democrats, like the ones who called Hogg a grifter, they don’t hear a solution to their problem, just a continuation. Then they hopelessly watch Dems die in Office of old age

Yeah, and telling them they are “beyond stupid,“ is definitely not going to encourage them to believe you’re going to stand up for their rights, or the rights of their friends. They rehearsed, their own deaths under two different Democratic administrations. Beyond stupid… 😔

Yes, they do. They have seen more of the world than you or I have. I have been a Democrat for over 40 years even though I’m far more progressive. But these kids have grown up in constant war with school shootings and the Internet to explain every heinous thing done before them, Even under Democrats.

Yup. I live in fear. I’ll slug someone when they tell me that it’s OK to double my kids chance of suicide by supporting those. I just don’t know if I’ll be able to keep my cool.

Haven’t heard anyone address how we’re gonna get young people back in the party. Certainly about their attitudes towards it.

I’m sorry you feel that way, but dip shits like Susan Sarandon have no place in the Democratic Party. They’re not strategic thinkers. Same goes for any Bernie bro that isn’t listening to Bernie anymore.

Andy withheld weapons from Israel that they desperately wanted, all wall, forcing them to keep the borders open for food aid and even running a jetty and at one point force their hand, all well fighting for and getting a cease-fire. But you thought let’s roll the dice with this genocidal fuck now.

Calm down, this is what a primary is for. Let the best man win, are you saying we should rig the primary? I support the guy who’s gonna make us fight for it

Well, I do know that my kids do not respect anyone in the Democratic Party, but him and AOC and a handful of others. He’s right when he says the party is profoundly uncool, because these kids have lived a lifetime of rehearsing their own deaths and the party did nothing for them. Guess we’ll disagre

Yeah, I’ve heard that from the gun nuts. You do realize his Pack supported an incumbent Democrat in WI 3rd last year that was defeated in favor of a pro business dairy farmer who would appeal to conservatives over hogg’s five term, labor supporter.

Yeah, that seems likely outcome of Trump getting involved in the peace process all right

They never even had his word. He was talking genocide and giving Netanyahu a free rein the whole campaign. Netanyahu said Biden was trying to remove him. These people were too stupid to realize Biden was on their side far more than Trump. And they never even had an assurance from him of anything.

When does paper report says RFK Junior tour the seals off the door and said it was just for show as they entered the Ebola and anthrax lab. These people may be too stupid to live.

She may literally be too stupid to live. One report says it was an Ebola and anthrax lab and that RFK Junior tore the goddamn seals off the door. These people may be too stupid to live. If they want to go play Patty cake and ebola lab I say we let them.
