2. I've been...

...posting repeatedly that people should stop wondering who is too old or too young to run in 2020. It's too early to determine the mood of primary and general election voters...

BUT, as far as this issue is concerned, you can't start too soon.

3. I know this view is popular in here...

But why is no one pointing their fingers at the millions who don't vote, who just can't be bothered to stay informed and simply take their liberties for granted?

There will always be people on the fringes who serve a purpose... On the left, they keep pushing towards opening minds and asking important questions. The real threat to this country and to democracy worldwide is ignorant dead wood who fail to participate.

I have not seen a single post about them.

7. There are those on the fringes who seek simply to disrupt

Because disruption is easier that the hard, slow work of positive, long lasting change.

[HopeAgain]

8. Yep that's what we all need to do now

because disruption is the only way we can slow the RW agenda.

It's all relative, but you missed my point entirely.

12. Planned, organized action is what is called for.

One can throw a brick through a window to disrupt.

Disruption can be a consequence of a goal, but should not simply be the goal itself.

10. This

I know way too many progressives (young people, mostly) who don't vote at all.

[Demsrule86]

11. On the faux left (no true leftist or progressive would enable Trump's election). They keep

'opening' minds by criticizing Democrats and driving voters away from the Democratic Party thus electing Republicans...there..fixed it.

Some will NEVER get over 2016!

6. All of that "certainty" that there are "pure" candidates. (nt)

9. unfortunate that we got stuck with trump because of the above not being heeded
