There’s a reason 18-29 year olds don’t decide elections. They’re f’ing sheep.
There’s a reason that Georgia kills more kids in the war in Iraq than any other state – their kids are just stupid sheep (and they vote against their own self interest for the war monger).
actually, they did decide this election. millenials are the biggest generation this country has ever seen and more 18-29s voted than ever and went for Obama by thirty points. they are also communitarians by nature and put the country before themselves. if you haven’t noticed, this election marks the shift of the new and huge cohort of an active and engaged youth taking politics (and cultural consciousness) and decision making over from the partisanship and petty bickering of the boomers.
Both candidates represented the SAME POLICIES. They’re both war mongers, or have you not noticed? Nothing has changed. Those in charge last year are still in charge. The wars continue and in fact, they expand. Look at what we (the US) are doing in Pakistan.
Keep hoping.
Given that the vast majority of people keep their political affiliations from their 20’s it does not look like the GOP has much of a future.
