Who can afford to go to Cancún?

Those that can't afford it will be watching Netflix and chillin'

that is what you believe!

Edit - bad choice of words

Gstaad is where we'll be dahlink! Cancun is simply unbearable with all the peasants there this time of year.

Weren't supporting Bernie Sanders to begin with.

All one sees day in and day out here on DU is Bernie supporters talking issues. They never talk down Hillary.

Nope, never.

Fox News talking points here from Bernie people.The kind of stuff here shouldn't even be permitted. If one goes to the jury it is voted to let it stand. But anything negative for bernie is hiden.

voting, you are screwed from the get go.

Its a historical fact that 30 and under vote the least.

But..but...the "revolution" was gonna change all that

office. Where were the young voters when we lost congress?

Becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

of time to sit around and watch Netflix and if you have ever been you know there is lots of partying.

They will enjoy playing "Survivor."

I suppose it could make a difference, for sure. I'll have to look at some schedules to see if there are conflicts.


ETA: U of Minnesota spring break starts on March 7, so everyone will still be here on March 1 for our caucuses.

That will work wonders when you want them to come out and vote for you in the GE.

My son is a poli sci minor, wants to teach civics, and he doesn't know that he can vote for Clinton in the GE because of how she is treating his generation.

But, he, by all means, encourage them to continue being disenfranchised.

Hope that strategy of belittling young voters and telling women they are going to H-E-double hockey sticks if they don't vote for your candidate and calling Bernie supporters unicorn fart sniffers will work for you if your candidate is in a General Election with negative likeability and trustworthiness numbers.

FYI: the whole "Netflix and chill" meme has been played out and almost caustic at this point when attempting to relate to younger people.

1:53pm The time of the meeting of great minds.

We come out in support of Bernie, we get slammed for being idealistic and not laying down and letting the machine run us over.

We stay home, we're accused of not caring about the political process.

Seems the only correct choice to you people is to support the most corrupt candidate since George freakin' Bush.

It can be done again! Despite nay sayers and same old same old.

for the closing of skateboard parks.

"Slacker skateboarders."

Now let's work on your horrible stereotype of "slacker skateboarders."

that the establishment of the Democratic Party eats its young.

"I like your Democracy. I do not like your Democrats. Your Democrats are so unlike your Democracy."

Then they called us hippies, dopers, Reds, and troublemakers. Then there was a convention.

I was first called a commie while serving in the marines in the early '60s because I opposed the war and supported the civil rights struggle. I kinda took it as a compliment then and still do. Though I'm not a communist.

Yes, stereotyping young people is bigotry.

To be clear, I'm not asking anyone here if they want to Netflix and chill; I'm asking if that's what the kids are going to be doing.

I hadn't thought about the spring break factor. Innnnteresting.

time for frivolity, and they don;t think voting for someone they believe have their interests at heart is a frivolous matter.

You well to do (sorry I know you prefer to be called the middle class) naysayers are already financially comfortable and likely can afford to help your kids with college and beyond.

The rest of us don't see the future as a joke like you appear to, and our kids think Hilary will leave them the options of either lifelong debt and flipping burgers or blood-letting cannon fodder for her neocon agenda.

They see Sanders and actually believe him to be an honest man (as does most everyone else) that will at least help them as he can, when he can, if elected while enabling them to fight for a better future than the rich and untrustworthy candidates have in mind for them.

They run in different social circles than you and know hardship and that it will take a long fight to evade further such hardship in their future, and they really do believe in him, what he stands for, and that he won't forget them once they help him get elected.

This will surprise you and your Cancun set, but the working class younger people are most sincere and diligent in both their beliefs and intentions to act on them (including voting).


You just can't see it because trust fund babies tend to be lazy and lacking in direction or believe that their actions and inaction's have no consequences. Such coddled financially comfortable youth suffer affluenza in varying degrees depending on how well to do their parents are, I believe you are relating truthfully the way those you know may act, but I have news for you, the majority of the young people these days are either poor or just getting by and I know them far better it appears than you ever will.

Imagine an article about how when Clinton expects old people to carry her, they'll be sleeping at the senior home.

How long would that one last on this site?
