Poll: young people going Dem

Well, the Democrats may not have it as made as people like to think. They will need to explain their support of austerity measures. That whole roll over thang. They don't really have the backing of unions anymore because the Democrats pay lip service to them. So, I'm thinking they are going to need to start rethinking their little game plan.
 
Young Americans' Affinity for Democratic Party Has Grown

Young adults -- those between the ages of 18 and 29 -- have typically aligned themselves with the Democratic Party, but they have become substantially more likely to do so since 2006....

A major reason young adults are increasingly likely to prefer the Democratic Party is that today's young adults are more racially and ethnically diverse than young adults of the past. U.S. political preferences are sharply divided by race, with nonwhite Americans of all ages overwhelmingly identifying as Democrats or leaning Democratic.

Gallup estimates that 54% of 18- to 29-year-olds are non-Hispanic white and 45% nonwhite, compared with 71% non-Hispanic white and 29% nonwhite in 1995, the first full year Gallup measured Hispanic ethnicity.

In 2013, 62% of nonwhite Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 were Democrats or Democratic leaners, while 25% were Republicans or Republican leaners. That 37-point Democratic advantage, though sizable, is slightly lower than the average 42-point advantage from 1995 through 2013.

But young adults are not more Democratic solely because they are more racially diverse. In recent years, young white adults, who previously aligned more with the Republican Party, have shifted Democratic. From 1995 to 2005, young whites consistently identified as or leaned Republican rather than Democratic, by an average of eight points. Since 2006, whites aged 18 to 29 have shown at least a slight Democratic preference in all but one year, with an average advantage of three points.

If the trend continues, and there's no reason to think it won't, the women/child haters, homophobes, the racists are endangered species.

This is great news. I dream of a country without the republican party.


Then move to Cuba
 
Clinton had a great economy
Good foreign policy
Nearly balance budget
Good investment in infrastructure, science and r&d.

The guy was better then Obama and Bush put together!

Dot com bubble burst, leading to recession and Bush having to clean up his mess.
Balanced budget due only to Gingrich and the GOP in the House.
First GOP House in 40 years.
Somalia
Adventures in former Yugoslavia
Scandals from taking bribes from the Chinese military
Ignored WTC bombing, leading to 9/11
Ignored African embassy bombings, leading to 9/11
Cut military
Best remembered for GOP initiatives he adopted: NAFTA, welfare reform.
Only president impeached in the 20th century.

Yeah, what a winner. Of course compared to Obama Andrew Johnson looks like a winner.

so the pendulum is swinging the other way....what ya going to do when it swings back?.....
 
Young people want to live in a first world country.
-They want good infrastructure
-Investment in their country
-Science
-Good education
-Reform in areas that need it

They understand that the republicans offer nothing besides to tar this country down. I say this as someone that believes in some of the old republican ideas.. So it doesn't make me happy.

no one wants to live in the 19th century Matt....

Just face it, Republicans. Old shit gets replaced. You're old now. The GOP is old. It's full of OLD people who are being replaced. If you are a Conservative who was born before 1964, you don't know what the world is supposed to be like. You were raised to think that everyone is different and needs to be separated. Everyone born after 1964 grew up in an America where we were not told to hate each other over frivolous nonsense like skin color. An entire different mentality was created in America. So it goes, generation after generation. Young people look at both parties as corrupt, but they especially view Republicans as corrupt and mind-boggling stupid.

Are you trying to say that the hardcore Southern racists are not Conservatives? They aren't Progressive. Do the anti-gay Bible thumpers preach equality and tolerance like Progressives? No. They're Conservatives. They want everything to stay the way that it was when they were 16. That's how they see the world and they can't accept that those days are just gone. That's what makes them "Conservative". They can't handle the PROGRESSION of society, so they vote their fear and the rich and the clergy know how to exploit that fear.

What a load of Bullshit....I never knew my best friend was black until about 64 when his mother told us that I couldn't stay over for dinner because "white boy don't eat no chitlins."
 
Meh.
