The polarization of American politics is a self-correcting problem

Because the RWs are going to die out without being replaced. They won't find many recruits among the Millennials or the Zoomers.

Biden is a lot older than I am and you're talking about more than half the nation.

Biden is a lot older than I am and you're talking about more than half the nation.

Based on the demographics here, I'm entirely right. And less than half the nation votes Pub even now. And no way are you younger than Biden.

 

[YDB95]

you're talking about more than half the nation.

That hasn't been true since the '80s at least. That's why the Republicans have only won the popular vote in one of the past eight elections.

I've seen RG say that before. The relative numbers are a point on which they are persistently in denial.

You do realize its the far left that isn't breeding. They either just don't want kids or are afraid of climate change. Middle America keeps reproducing and their kids are growing up to be conservative.

That's just it, they're not. The Millennials are leftier than any elder American generation ever. Much more so than the Boomers, among whom only a minority were ever involved in political activism or the hippie counterculture.

WOW Those blue shitholes are so densely populated that stupidity spreads faster than covid-19. It's actually an advantages having all you loons tightly pack together, you can't affect the EC LOL Just an example how more is not better. LMFAO

Right wingers are not the problem. They are a symptom of the problem. Biden brought us Clarence Thomas, supported the Iraq War, refuses to legalize marijuana, opposes universal health care, supported racist crime bills, etc.

The Democratic party supports and defends the right wing framing of all social, political, and economic issues of Republicans, capitulate to their demands on a regular basis, and supports and endorses right wingers in their own party.

Right wingers are not the problem. It's spineless, clueless, do nothing surrender monkey Democrats that fail deliver every time they win an election.

The process I am describing is very gradually going to turn the red states blue. All of them. None is exempt from generational change.

Because the blue corporate stooges like Manchin are so much better than the red ones? Blue vs red is meaningless when they all answer to the same corporate masters.

Many on the right feel that Republicans are the same spineless, clueless surrender moneys.

Almost everyone is younger than Biden.

You do realize its the far left that isn't breeding. They either just don't want kids or are afraid of climate change. Middle America keeps reproducing and their kids are growing up to be conservative.

Not just the far left but the general left.

That's just it, they're not. The Millennials are leftier than any elder American generation ever. Much more so than the Boomers, among whom only a minority were ever involved in political activism or the hippie counterculture.

And all they need to do to change that is to be allowed all the rope they want to hang themselves with.

There it is!!!! A somewhat based democrat understands that (D) run cities and states are the way they are because of the (D)'eez running them .... rare shit these days.

Your kind has been saying that for a century.... unfortunately for you lot people have to grow up and get a job some day, and they like to keep their money/labor.

The leftward generational shift I am describing is the only plausible chance we have of getting rid of the corporate masters.

Because many are..... any of the pols with anything resembling principals or ideals is labeled and smeared as whack jobs and or unelectable loons.

Say what you will about AOC and the Squad....I think they are politically insane, anti-American and economically illiterate fucking retards, but I respect that they aren't standard issue establishment Clintonista Democrats but honest open socialist who seem to believe in their crazy enough to fight for it.

There are no left wingers in the Republican party that derail and squash major Republican legislation. There is no Joe Manchin equivalent in the Republican party. Liberals are not welcome or tolerated the Republican party.

On the other hand Democrats will support and endorse right wing Democrats over solidly progressive Democrats every chance they get.

Not even communist China could get rid of them. Groups of people with skills/talent are just too fucking good at making shit loads of money.

What makes you think a bunch of consumption loving millennials who demand service and NOW!!!! The spoiled kids who lost their collective fucking minds over cut back Starbucks Hrs during the pandemic are going to N. Korea themselves into the stone age??

Go live off tree bark and grass clippings...starving to death by the truck load for the sake of equity and (D)ear leader!!!!

I'm sure generation knife a bitch for the last case of toilet paper is going to get right on that

That you think the back to eden communist greenie utopia just ONE more generation away is as laughable as the idea of rich celebs and pols taking public transportation to get to the next climate summit instead of burning hundreds of tons of fuel in their private luxury jets and yachts to get there....dumping raw sewage and trash into the oceans all the way there.

It's never happening bro, you're in the WRONG COUNTRY and just need to move to Venezuela or Cuba.

People do not actually grow more conservative as they age.

The Democratic party isn't the left. They are corporate toadies just like the Republicans. Continually falling for the Good Cop/Bad Cop con game that the major parties play on the American public is the problem.

 

[Cubantripod]

That's exactly what they do. The older the age group the greater the percentage of conservatives.

Run those taxes up to "progressive" levels in CA and NY.... stop talking about it and actually put the gun to their heads and take their shit.

DO IT.... do the open borders no ID needed free verything for everyone who shows up with their hands out welfare state ENTIRELY on the back of whatever blue state you want, CA, NY, IL, CO, WA, OR, MA, NJ.


You'll find out just how conservative they and most of the people with the means to leave that state for a not so progressive one they all actually are when it comes time to put up or shut up, really fucking fast.

That's why NONE of the "progressive" blue states who talk all that good shit will DARE actually do the things they talk about in their state. They know it won't work, it's bullshit they need to the other 33+ states to foot the bill.

They are in that they get the support of the leftist in the electorate with espousal of leftist ideals, talking points and of course the promise of free shit paid for by crushing any straight cis white males, their #1 enemy.... and almost always them, with taxes.

Everyone cheers and loves the virtue signal, but they never follow through, really anywhere at any level.

The fact that they keep lying to them right to their fucking faces and after 70 years of getting nothing continue to keep voting for them despite the fact that OBVIOUSLY some animals are more equal than others ..... well, you get what you vote for.

How is this any different than Republicans? Red states are poorest, lowest wages, uneducated, highest drug addicted, least insured, shoot yourself in the head suicidal MF'ers in the nation.

That is because of the culture that shaped them in their youth -- they are no more conservative than when they were younger.

It's called life. Things like kids and a mortgage.
