Reply #123: Some boomers have become their parents

[Capn Sunshine]

Others, like me, have NOT. I'm a member of my state's Democratic Central Committee, I've worked for the party for over 30 years. I'm a boomer, and I've been around long enough to take up the progressive cause because frankly, I got tired of waiting for the young people to.

I have supported Barack Obama since we got together the exploratory committee. He's the real deal. This doesn't involve emotions. It involves bringing a Democratic candidate to the table who can create new politics that are inclusive and not exclusive. Some of us recognize we need to do things differently if we hope to get more voters to turn out. The Hillary wing of the party, they are convinced that red vs blue and get the tiny minority in the middle is the way to go. The progressives in the party know that method is so 90s. And it's OVER.

THIS is the main reason the youth support Obama; he's the first candidate to articulate this viewpoint, that he's tired of divisive politics and wants to run on a new message.

You'll note, many here are resistant to this notion. This is because they relish the battle. They want revenge and they want a pound of flesh.

Note the responses to this post young jedi and you'll see that is true.

Just remember that not all of any group is inclined one way or the other.
Some get it, some don't.
