Hello Young People! Apparently you are not showing sufficient enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton's coronation, so the Democrats are unleashing their secret weapon to bring your vote around - Al Gore. Younger members reading this might remember him as the old dude who made that neat sci-fi epic movie about 10 years ago. He's actually here as the ambassador on one issue that polls well among your demographic, so he occasionally emerges from his energy-guzzling mansion and flies around the world in his private jet to lecture us on the dangers of... climate change. Welcome to 2016, where the party that's supposed to represent young people has decided to treat you like you're complete idiots.
Quite a few of you became interested in politics thanks to Bernie Sanders, and his "Democratic Socialism" pitch. You might have even seen this video "explaining" the benefits of Democratic Socialism. If that video sounded great to you, listen closer, and read here for a more in-depth analysis
Dude... I got so baked last night that Democratic Socialism started to sound good!
People in the Nordic countries are suffering from the ill effects of the very socialism which Bernie Sanders wants to bring to America. They know it doesn’t work, and they are working hard to achieve robust, free-market reforms.Nevertheless, there are clear lessons a huge, diverse country can learn from the recent experiences of these small, homogeneous nations. The biggest lesson might surprise Bernie Sanders — socialism doesn’t work.A very real example that our press and people who claim to be intelligent like to ignore is Venezuela. It's literally on fire. Or perhaps you'd like to see a Progressive grocery store?
Then you got to watch the primary process where your votes were struck down by Superdelegates who were put in place to ensure that you did not make the wrong choice as determined by your superiors in the DNC. Some leaks conformed that it was worse than it appeared:
But first, Bernie supporters should note three things well about the uncool, unfair, and unconscionable sabotage they have been subjected to by Debbie Wasserman Schultz: If WikiLeaks had not tapped into and then publicized the Democratic National Committee emails, she would have gotten away with it. Wasserman Schultz is no criminal mastermind (to say the least): She is a functionary doing exactly what she knows she was expected to do, a small cog in a much larger machine. Third, her bad-faith malfeasance would have been exposed much earlier if a press that was interested in revealing the truth rather than turning a blind eye to it (because they approve of the goal) had done its job, or half its job, or maybe a tenth of its job.Bernie voters, you sad saps, you never had a chance. Now, we can reasonably suspect that the chance you didn’t have goes back eight years. We can also deduce that the Democratic Party is a top-down organization, not a grassroots organization. They claim to be, of course, but the power at the top has nothing to do with the will of the people in its base. It’s a club where only the opinions of a couple of members count.Then over the summer we learned that your champion of the people is using his wealth to give back and help others by... buying a half million dollar vacation home. and after Hillary called you a bunch of "Basement Dwellers", Bernie had your back by... defending her. And Bernie capped it off by informing you to not even think of voting for a 3rd party - get in line, do as you're told and vote for who we tell you, child.
You've already had a taste of what life is like under the rule of today's authoritarian Radical Leftists that have taken over the Democratic Party. How did you like Michelle Obama's school lunch program?
They're the ones who support the status quo of a school system that has failed too many of you.
How about today's toxic culture on college campuses? College is supposed to be the best years of many young people's lives, and now look at their legacy.
