I addressed this on another post, but I'd like to post it for everyone to see because I think it's important that young democrats not be dismissed by older members of the party, because, we Are the future!
In response to a claim that Obama supporters are "cultists" or affluent kids that have been handed everything and have few negative life experiences, I wrote:
"In my experience, young affluent kids with few negative life experiences generally vote Republican!
The young democrats are those that care about social issues, fixing poverty, healthcare reform, reforming the political system, electing officials that can get stuff done and work for the people."
The most involved young democrats I've known have been individuals that have faced discrimination and fought against being marginilized and disenfranchised their whole life.
To dismiss these young democrats would be damaging to the party in the long run, and we can't afford to do that.
TO be sure, there are probably some mindless democrats out there too, but I much prefer that to them being mindless republicans.
Just some thoughts, talk amongst yourselves . . .
