Perhaps if the local Dems vote to legalize more dope, they'll get more youth vote.

Interesting spin. From the actual HARVARD Research referenced in Contrifan's link, let's look at a screen print of party affiliation:

Hmmmm....do we see a Republican majority there? I am of the opinion we do not.

Now then, let's look at voting preference!

Looks to me that the 18-29 voting bloc prefers Democrats! Outside the margin of error too!
BUT! If you ONLY include "True Believers" and exclude all others, then *gasp* the Republicans prevail!!
Of course, if you ONLY included "True Believers" and excluded all others from the 2012 election results, Romney would be president!

Yea, we all know how Harvard is that conservative university that spins in the Republicans direction.

No, asking you if you are disputing the Harvard poll that every news organization in the country is reporting.

No, asking you if you are disputing the Harvard poll that every news organization in the country is reporting.

But, as pointed out in post #5, its results are not what you say they are.

Kids become Republicans once they get how they pay for the parties theyre not invited to with the Democrats.

Which is not nearly the same thing as saying MOST REPUBLICANS are AOWMs.

Surely you understand that in one instance you are talking about the multiple characteristics (angry, old, white, and male) of a group of people (all Republicans) and in the other instance you are talking about a single characteristic (political party affiliation) of a much smaller group of people within the larger general population.

It's a big difference, bro.

For a totally nonpartisan glimpse of how millennials stand politically, culturally, and economically, the Reason-Rupe poll published last month (or the month before) in reason magazine does just that...

...so affected was I that I transcribed every question and answer for future reference.

Perhaps before the usual bozos flail away with their usual dogma...

...one may wish to consider that nonpartisan source.

Of course, imaging any bozo would do that...

...is like imagining a child would willfully let loose his mommy's teat.

It wasn't Pew that was referenced. It results were not what I said they are... they are the findings of a Harvard University's Institute of Political finds as reported in the Christian Science Monitor.

Not in the least! I'm simply sharing screen prints from the actual study itself (it was in PDF format, I know you have trouble with those) as opposed to the CS Monitor spin.

As you can see, the CS Monitor cherry-picked its data to meet a predefined conclusion. Looking at the big picture in the actual study itself, we see that the biggest single voting bloc in the 18-29 demographic is "Independent". The second biggest is Liberal, with Conservatives less than one quarter of the total.

Spin that.

Edited to add:
Okay, I see what has your bowels in an uproar. I called the Harvard research "Pew" research by mistake. For that and that alone, I apologize. I'm still waiting for your spin.

When the issue of bigger government and more social services is polled...

...54% of millenials favor larger government and more services, while 43% favor smaller government and less social services.

However, when the reality of taxation is introduced...

...41% of millenials favor larger government and more services, while 57% favor smaller government and less social services.

Spin it, bozos...

You reference 8. and 12. and call the CSM article a "cherry pick." I guess like most things we will just have to wait, in this case only until Tuesday.

YOU brought up Republicans first, in your initial post. I posted the two figures from the research that refudiate your insinuation that conservatism is growing among the 18-29 demographic.

Now you're trying to weasel away from your words.

Hardly. You don't want to see the dramatic swing to the right in the Millennial vote compared to just 2 years ago.The Lib base (you are a prime example) is still intact but the majority of the country sees that the emperor has no clothes. While the youngins don't yet see Obama as unfavorable as the rest of the nation they are starting to come around. Obama is toxic to Dems running in red or purple states... even blue states now.

On the following issues, here are which of the two major political Parties millenials say they trust most:

Foreign Policy:
38% - neither Party
34% - Democrat
23% - Republican

Privacy:
50% - neither Party
27% - Democrat
17% - Republican

Gay Marriage:
43% - Democrat
35% - neither Party
16% - Republican

(BTW: the poll also revealed that gay marriage is such an accepted, cultural norm among the majority of millenials today that it really can't be counted as an "issue" for them, at all...

...overall, 67% of millenials support legal recognition (marriage) for same-sex couples, as even 54% of millenials who ID as Republicans do, too.)

Drug Policy:
41% - neither Party
32% - Democrat
21% - Republican

Immigration:
39% - neither Party
37% - Democrat
18% - Republican

"Reason-Rupe" poll? If it is associated with Reason magazine, then it is not nonpartisan, that's a hardcore Libertarian mag. Would you take seriously a Daily Worker poll?

Sadly for you, there is NO "dramatic swing to the right", as I showed you in the clippings from the research that YOU referenced. There IS an uptick in a certain slice of the demographic (the "definite" vote) but overall there is NO movement towards the republicans.

For you to blithely insist otherwise simply shows your epistemic closure, which we first saw in your "can't trust no nigger numbers" rants about obamacare enrollment.

.....^ suffices as my response to taking anything you bring to this Board seriously, King0.

 

[Que]

lets see...

Which would I rather have, an uptick in definite voters or an uptick in Daily Show Viewers that do not vote?

Can I have both?

I never used the words you quoted or suggested anything like that. You are a lying sack of shit... your heart pumps sewage.
