Would you people please cut it out already?!!

[Labors of Hercules]

I am so sick of running into these BULLSHIT "it's all the stupid bubblegum youths out there fucking up our system supporting Obama" posts! Even the polls here on DU prove you WRONG.

An amazing transformation is occurring!

We are taking back our Democracy, and if you don't like it, move to Russia.

[Bicoastal]

1. In Russia, government changes YOU! nt

[FSogol]

4. LOL

[Richard Steele]

5. In fascist Amerika, gas station robs YOU!

9. lol

:rofl:

[The_Casual_Observer]

2. It would be Ok with me if stupid bubblegum youths took back our

democracy. So far nobody else was willing to do the job.

[texastoast]

13. Bingo! n/t

[SoFlaJet]

15. good point TCO

We The People are really tired of the ineptitude of Reid-Pelosi faction of the democratic party-give it to the young and hungry-I'm 52 and I'm right there with them

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. I can't get my son who is 30 to vote. I guess he isn't a member of the bubblegum youth, or is he?

:shrug:

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. Check his pockets & under his desk.

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. Or the side of his Xbox.

:evilgrin:

[AntiFascist]

26. Some of those games the youths play...

are really disturbing:

[truebrit71]

17. It would be ok with me if stupid bubblegum youths just pulled up their damned pants!!!

..oh, and stopped listening to that damned music so loud...

[The_Casual_Observer]

19. One thing at a time

[Richard Steele]

3. Angry & unhelpful much?

:popcorn:

[Labors of Hercules]

10. It irritates me when people who are supposed to be progressive...

grumble because more people are engaging in our Democracy.

[Warren DeMontague]

11. They're mad because folks aren't following orders.

You know, the kind of orders which have been barked out here for the past 6 months: "Support XXXXXX in the primaries, Because XXXXX is going to WIN anyway! You are deluding yourselves and wasting your vote unless you support XXXXX blindly!"

Pesky fuckin' people, refuse to do as they're told. They should just accept what the Powers-That-Be give 'em!

[Richard Steele]

14. And you imagine that shouting "STFU" is helpful in some way?

:rofl:

[Labors of Hercules]

24. I imagine that more new people participating in this primary...

is good for our Democracy. And I have a problem with idiots who speak against that most fundamental fact.

[Richard Steele]

33. OK, I gotta agree with you there.

Thanks! :thumbsup:

[Warren DeMontague]

6. Nobody likes it when their inevitability train gets derailed.

Especially when this supposed "inevitability" was fully half of what they were running on to begin with. :shrug:

[SeattleGirl]

7. Frankly, I'm glad the bubblegum youths are coming out in droves

to vote

I'm not exactly an oldie-moldy, but I am, and always have been, an advocate for people registering and voting, as soon as they are eligible to do so.

[Fresh_Start]

8. Wow, you sound exactly like a Bushie

they said, "if you don't like what our government is doing."
Leave the country. Move to Canada, Venezuela, or Iran if you had any empathy for what Arabs were living through.

You must be so proud that you learned the lesson so well.

[Der Blaue Engel]

12. Will you move to Russia if my candidate wins instead?

:shrug:

[Labors of Hercules]

21. didn't read the post, did you?

I would rather have your candidate win the nomination from a turnout of 600,000 than mine from a turnout of 200,000.

Does that answer your question?

[Der Blaue Engel]

27. I read the post, which ended with a snotty "move to Russia" lob

for no apparent reason. I found it absurd and replied in kind.

Does that answer yours?

[Labors of Hercules]

32. don't like sarcasm much, I see. Oh well. nt.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

22. Here's the demo breakdown of Iowa's caucus.

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/epolls/#val=IADEM

You'll see that, while Obama's support tended to be younger (more under age 45s than over), he attracted votes from a diverse spectrum of people.

[goodgd_yall]

23. "Love It or Leave It" you say?

Not a good thing to say to us of the 60s.

[Labors of Hercules]

25. If you prefer to live in an authoritarian state,

then yes, it would be wise to move to one.

[goodgd_yall]

28. Recent history is lost on you. n/t

[Labors of Hercules]

31. No, I know very well what Putin has been doing...

Perhaps you have not been paying attention?

[CTyankee]

29. Good! I've been hoping for the youth to get more involved for a long time.

I want to see them taking back our democracy by walking precincts, making calls from party hq, getting mailers out to voters, as my generation from the 60s has been doing in every election I can remember. In the past, the youth vote hasn't come through the way we'd hoped. Now there is the real promise it will happen!

If the youth can spearhead a revolution for democracy in our country, I say more power to them! Their help is badly needed, and has been for some time, by the activists who over the years saw Democrats with real vision go down in flames in election after election. Thank god for new blood!

[never_get_over_it]

30. I sure hope these bubblegum youth follow through

and get their sorry asses out to vote in November....but that is a LONG WAY FROM now - and this thing is going to turn VERY VERY UGLY -
