Edmund Lava posted:Not really. This is the group which would have just gained political consciousness when the Berlin Wall fell. As someone in that gap I feel it’s significant. It definitely shouldn’t be arbitrary but there’s something to be said for coming to age at a certain point in history and what you experience and how all of that shapes you. I think it was the nytimes, but I’m not totally sure - there was a cool chart that shows how people’s political attitudes were shaped during their 20s and remains fairly sticky throughout their lives.

DC Murderverse posted:Everyone should celebrate by dropping some money on your favorite democratic candidate for the 2018 election. I donated to JD Scholten, who is Steve King's opponent in next year's house race, but if you want to donate to your local candidate you should do that too. This is a pro choice. Steve King is a wretched bastard who needs to be run out of first Congress, then the State of Iowa, then this very plane of being on a rail.

I think one thing that shouldn't be discounted is the greater amount of tolerance many young voters were socialized with, either at school or through popular entertainment. Many of these kids are probably taught to vote GOP by their parents, but as they get older they clearly see a huge disconnect between their personal beliefs and the political party of their parents. Also, many young folks at the time of Dubya probably know a friend who got sent to Iraq/Afghanistan. Seeing friends die or come back barely the same person who left, you loving remember which party sent them.

the talent deficit posted:you think six year olds were politically concious? Edmund Lava posted:Not really, no. 8-9 is more reasonable. From my understanding 83 babies get lumped in because they’re more likely to have older siblings who were aware of what was going on. Sounds about right to me. I was around that age when I found a book of cartoons titled, "The End," where each page was a single panel Far Side-ish cartoon that somehow involved a mushroom cloud. Dark humor too sharp for my tiny little mind, that book loving scarred me. Google fails me at finding such a vague search to see it again but if anyone knows what I'm talking about please clue me in.

My memory of 2000 is seven-year-old me walking into my living room, seeing my parents watching election night coverage, and asking them who we wanted to win. They said Bush, so I said "okay, I hope Bush wins."

The problem is there's never been any real impetus for white women to say, "NO, husband, you need to vote with ME." Couples tend to vote the same ticket and if the husband has Limbaugh politics then its easier to just go along with it and not deal with the marital stress. I do wonder if that will hold true in 2018 though. Between the Women's March and #metoo and a few other things... White women might be a sleeping tiger that's finally been poked with enough sticks to wake up. I know I have. I voted for Obama but I haven't done anything else political ever. (Well other than Net Neutrality stuff, which I did quite a bit for, alas.) Next year I am gonna volunteer my rear end off. mistaya fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Dec 13, 2017 |

teen witch posted:I just don’t get how it’s clear as loving day that white supremacy does not give an iota of poo poo towards the welfare of women outside of them being ambulatory wombs. Like it’s hard to take a voting block seriously when they continuously support the candidates that would rather see them behind a stove than an office desk. Even as a mixed race gal like, how do you not have that internal signal of “this person loving hates my existence, they can die in a ditch”? Phyllis Schlafly spent her life trying to gain political power so that no woman could have political power. The only thing that stopped her was the Republican Party refused to give a woman political power. I don't know what the moral of the story is.

Either you MUST swear on the Bible, or you MAY NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE swear on the Bible and there is zero choice about it. This is the logic that convinced so many of those folks in the articles that Jones will somehow mandate the abortion of all babies forever. Sad. Not not sad tonight. The good guy won.

Like 95% of people who voted for Moore thought the sexual assault allegations were made up. We don’t have a problem with people being okay with creepy pedophiles, we have a problem with people’s inability to understand or accept reality when it runs contrary to their politics.

honestly this seems like the sort of thing that won't bother the Trumps and Bannons of the world too much. It's too easy to hand wave away this loss as being 100% due to Moore's terrible child abuse crimes. Surely not a reflection on them. I hope the slimy bosses of the Republican party are starting to see the tide going out though, and maybe they'll even start to panic. Also another disgusting creep named Dan Johnson needs to be ridden out of politics and straight into jail. Child Rape is back in the news, hanging over the head of a republican. Get them all out.

JawKnee posted:That's very charitable of you - why do you think that? Because exit polls found that 95% of people who believed the allegations were false (43% of the electorate) voted for Roy Moore. Only 10% of people who thought they were true (53%) voted for him, which is really the demographic that you're mad about. So only 5.3% of Alabamans were a-okay with voting for someone they believed was a pedophile, which isn't really that many.

I was born in 96 and thought Republicans were good because they had the most Presidents. From a young age my dad was ranting about how Reagan hosed up the economy and made it harder for people to get ahead. He voted for Kerry, Obama twice, and Clinton. Happy he didn't fall into the immigrant trap where once you find middle-class success you become more conservative. He's prime boomer age too, turned 55 this year (or I guess that's Gen X? it's all loving arbitrary) very lucky that I'm not one of those hosed in the head first generation kids who have this idea of America as a great place for all immigrants. It's not, we need to work on it to make it a viable place for the generations following our own
