Millennials Should Not Give A Damn About Democrats Any More Than They Do Republicans

Millennials are about to make up the largest voting block in the 2016 elections, yet the Democratic Party’s leadership doesn’t seem to care about this group. Maybe it’s time for Millennials to fight back.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

It's not a 35 year time span. Someone who is 1 right now is not a millennial. I meant 1980-1995 or MillennialDem Nov 2015 #6

something to win. If they lose the primary they may retreat to fight again some other time.

And that will be because of the way the Democratic Establishment acts during the primaries. IMO the establishment is using their power to force endorsements, to control who gets support and who does not (we have seen this before - McGovern) and other manipulations. That letter from the DLC - Third Way to Hillary last week said it all. Our way or the highway.

We have all seen our country disappear under this kind of leadership. Most of us - millennial or other - are sick and tired of it.
