Quorum posted:The DNC's biggest resource isn't their money, it's their people. Organizers, sure, but especially facilitators-- the kind of people who can grease wheels and make happen what organizers need to happen, locally. Ready-made google docs for the kind of headache-inducing activist group herding we saw stories about in Virginia. Yeah but that poo poo costs money and they have to do it in hundreds of races 11 months from now.

I'd say it's a combination of W being terrible and Obama being pretty decent in comparison. Add in Trump's shitshow of a presidency, and you've got an entire generation of people who only remember lovely Republican presidents and good Democratic ones.

Yeah I have no clue. There's definitely a difference between older millenials (the ones who remember 9/11 or the 2000 florida clusterfuck) and younger millenials where instead it's the election of obama that's their first real political memory. the older groups seems to be much more pro-Dem and also more willing to do realpolitik with their candidates than the younger ones.

Yeah, some of my coworkers just barely qualify as millennials and they were literally 2 years old when 9/11 happened. I mean, I was 11 but I was pretty loving aware of what was going on, especially when we spent the next 3-4 years traveling everywhere by car instead of plane. EDIT: The primary difference I've noticed is the millennials in our mid to late 20s are all very politically conscious and all freaked out when Franken visited our store, and the teens were basically "uhhh... who's that." Like... the one who's the most politically active and actually wants to work in politics and went to the Women's March and everything has no idea who Warren is and it hurts my brain.

The only explanation I have is that it must be a combination of Christian brain washing, internalized misogyny, and racism.

there really needs to be a different term for kids who are coming of age next year. I mean, potential voters will have been born in 2000 by next November, and the range increases to 2002 by 2020. Post-milennial maybe? Something catchy to go with the Great Recession, since it was an event that shaped the world they grew up in from 2009-2020? I guess I'm a millennial, since I was really young but I have a clear memory of 9/11

I don't remember the Berlin Wall or the USSR, but remember 9/11. First political memory is Clinton winning in 1996. Or GHW Bush a hockey card.

I'm a medium millenial, I guess? I was born in 91. I was a lot more well read and up to date on current issues than most other kids (being a weird nerd), and if I ever entertained a conservative thought the Bush era scared my rear end straight. I was a socialist by the time I was in highschool.

The people just now aging into the electorate kinda had me worried because they never really knew Bush II and seemed susceptible to Trump's bullshit last year. After 2017 though, I can't imagine going from Obama to Trump is any easier for them than it has been for my elder millennial rear end.

But whatever, it's not really relevant whether he wrote the tweet, nor is it really relevant what the motives behind the evil poo poo he does are I suppose. Tonight he lost big and that's all that's relevant.
