Tunnel vision Democrats don't give up until they run out of somebody else’s money.

Labour got stomped on and it was kicked to the curb. Its hard Left was one of the reasons the party got trounced.

Democrats are living on borrowed time. We Americans have had enough!

They mistook Twitter trends for popular opinion.

BOURGEOIS SOCIALISTS -Even the commies hated them.- Communist Manifesto p.49

A part of the bourgeoisie is desirous of redressing social grievances, in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society.

To this section belong economists, philanthropists, humanitarians, improvers of the condition of the working class, organisers of charity, members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, temperance fanatics, hole-and-corner reformers of every imaginable kind. This form of Socialism has, moreover, been worked out into complete systems.

We may site Proudhon’s Philosophie de la Misere as an example of this form.
The Socialistic bourgeois want all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom. They desire the existing state of society minus its revolutionary and disintegrating elements.

Work harder slaves. Socialism is Legal Plunder - Bastiat “The Law”

Our overlords, our BOURGEOIS SOCIALISTS live large, don’t they?

They’re too stupid to see the writing on the wall.

Surveying this optimism, Chait concludes there has been a lot of wishful thinking going on:

A YouGov poll is an example:

If it weren’t for the youthful “ignorant” vote, Leftists wouldn’t stand a chance. They count on duping the young.

Young people tend to be liberal.

I didn’t become a conservative until my 30s. Its a generational thing.

I was lucky (or actually unlucky) enough to grow up during the Leftist anti-Americanism of the 60s and 70s. Told me all I needed to know about the Left.

Nobody took me aside to inform me, but by the time I was 16, I knew I’d never be a democRat.

I know where you are coming from, and I can understand where you are coming from. I just never went through that phase in life.

That is not necessarily true, the first Presidential vote I ever cast was for Richard Nixon in November 1968.

Haven’t changed since.

While this is good news, I for one, am not taking this election for granted. Always remember that the Democrats have raised “ballot stuffing” to an art form, and in truth, to the party’s official sport.

A return to paper ballots with the addition of purple ink on each voter’s finger is in order.

If it weren’t for the youthful “ignorant” vote, Leftists wouldn’t stand a chance. They count on duping the young.
“The republican principle demands that the deliberate sense of the community should govern the conduct of those to whom they intrust the management of their affairs; but it does not require an unqualified complaisance to every sudden breeze of passion or to every transient impulse which the people may receive from the arts of men, who flatter their prejudices to betray their interests.” ― Alexander Hamilton
. . . and who better to tempt with flattery of their prejudices than the young?
The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. — Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)

Was too young in 1968, but I registered as soon as possible after my 18th birthday, and by 1972 I was devoutly anti McGovern.
