Keep calm and vote Democratic

That new WaPo/ABC News poll that has Trump ten points ahead of Biden is complete bullshit, easily refuted. It claims Trump is 20 points ahead of Biden with young voters! Not possible. This is not an inaccurate poll, it’s a RIGGED poll. Anyone who quotes this poll should be fired.

The gift that just keeps on giving--Thanks GOP!

The children shall lead them

Republicans want to raise the age of voting to 21 because 18-21yos voted in droves in the Midterms. This is the same Republican Party that believes that an 18yo is mature enough to purchase an AR15 and a 10yo is old enough to be a mom.

Take all the time you need with that.

They're quite aware of what they're going through...

Young people are the wall — and Republicans are paying for it.

Rigging elections is a trademark of fascism

NEW: A Texas official just moved an early voting site off of Texas A&M University’s campus because they claim it has “low turnout”— but data shows it was one of the county’s MOST popular early voting sites in recent elections. https://t.co/kkneiPzJLf

I like this optimism

JUST IN: New polling suggest 60% of individuals under the age of 29 are voting Democrat.

We are going to build the largest coalition of young voters this country has ever seen and make sure Kevin McCarthy NEVER becomes Speaker this year.

And the children shall lead us

In a trend that should surprise no one, Labor Unions are making a comeback in terms of their favorability among Americans, almost returning to prior Great Recession levels.  Interestingly, Unions enjoy their highest support among those aged 18-29, 61%, even those only about four percent of those young people actually belong to Unions.

Don't think it has anything to do with watching their parents spend a lifetime getting fucked over by corporations, being underpaid by corporations after following the conventional wisdom and spending four years of their lives in college and taking on massive debt to do so (if they find a job at all), or the fact that young people hold a disproportionate amount of McJobs, which quite frankly, cannot possibly be worth the grief, do you?

If republican election analysts had a brain, these numbers would keep them up at night.  It may take a while, but what goes around, almost always comes around.

Los ninos estan bien

While the past year had a lot of good--President Obama's decisive victory in the Presidential Election, winning a bigger majority in the Senate, picking up seats in the U.S. House--it also had a lot of bad:  the Scott Walker fiasco in Wisconsin, the continuing war on workers, the continuing war on women, the ever growing gap between rich and poor, republican obstructionism, lots of losses at the state and local levels.

But to paraphrase the Glimmer Twins, time is on our side.

The best news from 2012 was the continued and growing support of young people and Latinos for the Democratic Party.  People between the ages of 18-29 went for President Obama 60% to 36%.  Between the ages of 30-39 it was 60% to 38%.  The majority of these voters will be Democrats for life.

The Latino vote was even better, as the President won 71% to 27% (improving on his 67-31 margin in '08).  Coupled with the ever growing Latino population in the U.S. (50,000 Hispanic-Americans turn 18 every day), it's only a matter of time before the Democratic Party has an overwhelming electoral college majority (and given the propensity of people to vote a straight ticket, this helps downballot as well).  There are those who believe Texas will be as blue as California by 2030...at which point the Democrats could hold the White House much like republicans did in the aftermath of the Civil War (44 of 52 years between 1860 and 1912).

Modern Democrats are often slow to to latch onto populist principles and live up to the principles and potential on which the current Democratic Party was founded.  Here's hoping the young folks and the Latinos currently driving them to victory can drag the party kicking and screaming into the Progressive fold, striving for an America that truly benefits us all.

That will be a beauty to behold, and is why the future for us Liberals is bright, bright, bright.

Happy New Year!
