Republicans are insane. There is not one that should have gotten any votes not one.

wait, seriously? share the deets

Sure, let’s raise the voting age to 21. While we’re at it, we can also raise the minimum age to join the armed services and the minimum age to buy a gun. Deal?

While we're at it, let's put an age maximum on voting. You're gonna die soon anyway, so why do you get a vote?

Reminds me of this ad from 2018. So good.

That’s a f’d up and racist video. I am a hard left progressive and tbis race baiting crap is not the answer to our problems.

Lol. You’re not a hard left progressive, you’re offended by the accuracy of that video.

It’s not accurate. It’s intentionally misleading. There are plenty of old white folks that marched in the civil rights era and there are also plenty of young people who are trumpers. And they are certainly not all white.

It’s not intentionally misleading, it’s statistics. Statistically speaking boomers are older, whiter and vote more conservative. That’s a fact. The boomers in my life are a little pocket of liberals, but they and I both understand that statistically speaking, that’s not the norm.

PP you are FOS. You did not look at the video at all. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do about the young people getting out to vote. Progressive my ass. Piss off!

Yes, it does bring me comfort to know that eventually the winds of change will bring change, and most likely, eventually we WILL have sensible gun legislation and eventual reinstatement of federal protection of abortion because younger generations will have had enough. No amount of gerrymandering will be able to change how our younger generations will vote as they get older.

The voters will have the last say in the end no matter how much the old, grouchy MAGA folks think they will win. Racist old people who grew up in a less tolerant, more racist era can't vote from the grave.

Please try to understand what I am trying to say. Statistics would be if they included a single Asian or Hispanic old person. Intentionally misleading is when they only show white people. I work in media and video production. It was an intentional decision to only feature white people. That is called stereotyping. It’s the same thing as fox featuring non stop stories of inner city violence. It’s propaganda and it’s needlessly divisive. Would the video have been any less effective if they included an Asian or Hispanic amongst the white folk? No. But it sure would have been more accurate.

I watched the whole video and it was 100% white people which is a stereotype. You can’t deny that, you can only call me names.

And there are plenty of old white folks who are trumpers, which makes this video accurate. It is not saying they represent all of that demographic.

I mean I kind of get what you're saying about diversity, but let's be honest. Most conservatives are older and white. So you can call that racist or agist or whatever you want but that's just the truth.
By and large young individuals who are not white both the least sooooo the point of the video is if you don't vote. These are the people that are going to decide elections and they likely do not have the same interests that you do.
I don't think there's a law or rule where every commercial needs to be 100% representative of the population.

+1 79% of the silent generation are non-Hispanic whites. For Gen Z that number is 51%.

Yes why do you think Republican strategists are now plotting to prevent college aged voters from voting ? Limiting minority votes and extensive gerrymanders will not be enough to rig the vote for them …

Duh. It's a political ad. The point of it is that is the votes of old white people are against your interests (and against their interests in fact), you better get out there and vote.

This.

When people are allowed to vote, the democrats win.

When we have voter suppression like Cleta Mitchell is plotting with the GOP for 2024, the democrats don't win.

Maybe the GOP would be more appealing if they didn't have an agenda based on rage, fear and blaming others while castigating people of color, women and LGBTQ+.

When I read this thread I think of the "Four Olds" from the cultural revolution. The tactics of the authoritarian left never really change.

Interesting. She says they are coming for Virginia in the next election to take the Virginia senate. They want to do away with early voting in Virginia and think it is feasible to take Virginia red again. Youngkin signed a bill already modifying Virginia’s mail-in votes where the voter has to provided birthdate and partial SSN. They are already working to remove voting polls away from college campuses in North Carolina because they now control both houses with the defection of the newly elected democrat not republican. Basically she is saying “we can’t beat the democrats in a fair and unencumbered election, so let’s make it extremely difficult for their primary voters to get to the polls.”

Why isn’t it a rule for students to vote (absentee if they must) where their official primary residence is not where their college dorms/apartments are? Especially if they are still considered a dependent on their parents’ taxes.
