The Democrats’very dangerous loss of the young voters, union voters and independent voters
vanity | October 29, 2018 | By Kevin Collins

A June poll from the Public Religion Research Institute, published in The Atlantic magazine, reported that just 28% of young adults 18 to 29 said they were absolutely certain to vote; but 74% of seniors (a group that voted for Donald Trump) were absolutely certain to vote.

So Republican supporting seniors said they would be voting and 18 to 29 year olds were distinctly disinterested in voting.

Of course you didn’t hear anything about this; but that doesn’t mean it is not a dangerous red flag for the Democrats.

“That was June, and things change”, some would say.

Nevertheless, that is just not the case; now we have actual proof of the lack of interest in voting among young people.

Derek Ryan, a former political consultant from Texas, posted some information about how early voting is going so far in Texas.

What Ryan tweeted was that in the 15 largest counties in Texas, on the first day of early voting, 35.3% of voters 70 to 79 years voted; and in the same counties just 6.5% of voters between 20 and 29 years old have voted.

This is super bad news for Democrats and maybe as bad as this next item.

Pew has reported that union members are now "just as likely to vote Republican as they are to vote Democrat."

This is devastating for both the Democrats and the unions; it means the union vote cancels itself out and is now worthless.

In the days after the Kavanaugh hearings CNN published the results of their own survey of independent voters.

CNN presented their findings as “by 28% more independents disapprove of how Democrats treated Justice Kavanaugh and his family."

That was supposed to make you believe that “28%” of independents disapproved of how the Democrats treated the Kavanaughs; but after a careful reading the actually meaning is that by 28% (more) independents disapprove of how the Kavanaughs were treated.

When that is presented truthfully, it tells us 66% of independents disapprove and 34% approve for a 2 to 1 against Democrats.

The New York Times survey found that by 42/36 independent voters favored Republicans over Democrats.

None of this is any good for Democrats.

Considering that the DNC is dangerous to the continues health of the nation I’m all for things undermining them.

I would think by now most people would look at Hillary as Ballot Box Poison.
Plus, s she gets older, her health will be worse and she tends to say incredibly irritating stupid stuff as she ages.

The young people you are describing are uninterested in voting (they don’t care) not disinterested (which means impartial or unbiased).

A good way to remember the difference between these two words:

If you go to court, you want the judge to be disinterested in your case but not uninterested.

We all need to be vigilant with regard to voter fraud. I received this link; some of these numbers are important to get out there.

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1056332994699505666.html?utm_source=email&utm_medium=alert&utm_campaign=internal

“...Complaints about possible violations of the federal voting rights laws can be made directly to the Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section in Washington, DC by phone at 1-800-253-3931 or (202) 307-2767, by fax at (202) 307-3961, by email to voting.section@usdoj.gov (link sends e-mail) or by complaint form at justice.gov/crt/complaint/….

United States Attorney Stuart said, “Ensuring free and fair elections depends in large part on the cooperation of the American electorate.

It is imperative that those who have specific information about discrimination or election fraud make that information available immediately to my Office, the FBI, or the Civil Rights Division.”

My daughter is voting for the first time in the mid terms. Last evening a young man rang our doorbell and was asking for my daughter. She was on his list as a young voter. I told him she was away at college. He then gave me a pamphlet with all Dem candidates. I told him no thanks and that my daughter was voting all Red. You should have seen the look on his face.

And let’s keep in mind an increasing number of minority voters who are being awakened to the fact that the Left uses them as tools. They have depended far too long on that 85% block vote of blacks for Democrat candidates.

If that number of black voters drops even to 75%, that spells trouble for them too beyond the “young”, “union” and “independent” voters they are losing.

I would bet that many blacks that have voted Republican, or plan to, keep it quiet and are forced to lie about it.

Sure...I do know a few. We have a few tough ones here on FR who have said ‘Ostracization be damned’ and appear to tell people they know exactly how they feel.

Takes bravery to do that. To be ostracized is a powerful disincentive for most normal people.

Of course because the Democrats clearly abandoned union workers for the Green Gaia, for offshoring jobs to China, and was being funded by hedge fund thieves like Soros.

What the Democrat party does have going for it is stupid white liberals, Mexican voters, and cheating.

Go, seniors! We need our country saved once again — in order to get some sense knocked into our more indoctrinated than ever younger generations, so we can hope to carry on our legacy!
