1. The 'kids' are engaged

And with their energy engaged combined with general mastery of social media and associated tech tools, they are gonna make the GOP's collective heads spin to the point that exorcists may be called in.

I hope to encounter some young people who can give me some pointers on using tech and social media to help stomp out the maga movement all together. Maybe some social media that us geezers tend to use could open a forum for young people to mentor us olds. For now, I just read to get info, post in various places to share info, and write postcards to be mailed out the day our state's mail in ballots go out, with labels printed by a local DEM Women group.

The 'kids' are OK and that makes me feel good.

I think Townsend and Daltrey are the only originals still alive.

This was recently posted here at DU:

It was very excellent, he had much to share
( he became politically engaged after the loss of his cousin to a school shooting )

I highly recommend watching this

And - of course - with limiting it only to married (heterosexual) couples with chilluns.

Preferably white (and without too many vowels in their last names).

16. That's how it goes with Nazis and hate groups
Fri Jul 26, 2024, 03:47 PM

They keep making their approved group smaller and smaller. First they hate Jews, then people of color, then gays and lesbians, then Romanians, then women without babies, then trans, then unmarried people, then smart, strong women, then poor people the....and on and on it goes until you have a party of one nut job.

to play the slaves and white indentured servants. Support us or your ass will be right back in the fields.

That's why every proposed tax on the wealthy is always called a tax on small business or the middle class. If you want to help the poor, it comes out of your hide not ours and they've made it work.

Tall, aristocratic- looking Magyar beauty. A redhead who looks as if she should be named Natasha or Olga. Divorcee with a sweet pit bull, two cats and a live-in Hispanic boyfriend. They look like Morticia and Gomez Addams together.
Solid Democrats!

I have the button I wore on my desk - "If I were 21 I'd vote for Kennedy." Next to it I have the one that says, "I told you so" with President Kennedy's image. I was excited then, young and optimistic. I'm excited now, older and optimistic. I've often said this election belongs to younger generations. I love seeing them run with it! I'm right behind.

On the other hand, Taylor Swift has been instrumental in encouraging her fans (18 and older) to register and vote for at least a couple of years now. Thank you Ms. Swift and sincere thanks to the young Swifties!
