• The conference could barely fill the first two rows of seats.

• The speakers emphasized the important role Millennial voters can play in the political process by getting out the vote, engaging fellow students on campus, and supporting the objectives of the Democratic Party.

• The conference began July 22 and will end this Saturday.
  

  Emphasizing the importance of Millennial voters in upcoming elections, progressive activists spoke to a nearly empty auditorium at the College Democrats of America annual conference on Friday.

  Despite offering a full day of activities, speakers like Julian Castro, and campaigning advice from top political operatives, the College Democrats of America were barely able to fill the first couple rows with young attendees.

  

  The speakers emphasized the important role Millennial voters can play in the political process by getting out the vote, engaging fellow students on campus, and supporting the objectives of the Democratic Party. The conference began July 22 and will end this Saturday.

  Donna Brazile, Vice Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and frequent television political commentator, began an unscheduled appearance by thanking “all those who work so hard to ensure that all of our young people, all of our College Democrats, are involved, active, and engaged in the national Democratic Party.”

  Brazile encouraged the members of the sparse audience to seek public office while pointing to an empty chair on stage.

  “I want you to start thinking about filling this seat,” said Brazile, who said she has been active in politics since childhood and looked forward to the contributions of the next generation.

  “I didn’t come here with any talking points, I don’t have a speech, I don’t have a candidate yet, but I do have an empty chair,” said Brazile.

  During a panel earlier in the day, Rock the Vote president Ashley Spillane described Millennials as the “Get Sh*t Done Generation” but said that “the current political landscape isn’t that inspiring and people are frustrated with politics.”

  “I believe the Millennial Generation is getting sh*t done, they just happen to be doing it outside of the political system right now and we need to be impressing the importance of participating in civics in order to get them more involved in the process,” said Spillane.

““I didn’t come here with any talking points, I don’t have a speech, I don’t have a candidate yet, but I do have an empty chair,” said Brazile.”

I wonder if it’s Clint Eastwood’s Empty Chair.

Uh, oh. Have the RATS made low-information freeloaders too stupid?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Stress the important of getting S$$$ done??? Really???

I get so turned off by vulgarity found in so many places today. So now we talk of politics as getting S@#$ done. Brilliant explanation....... Sarcasm.........

Maybe they shoulda got Lena Dunham up on stage and shake her fat a$$ around. There are an awful lot of liberals out there that get off on self-abusing themselves with visages of the vomiting kind.

Yep. Hence their reliance upon vote fraud.

[Gaffer]

What this tells me is that there is no driving fervor in their efforts - at least one that resonates with those they're trying to arouse.

Perhaps things like healthcare, student loans, housing loans, the fact they have to get a signed affidavit to screw a willing coed, have them thinking “what in the heck does a lying rich Grandmother have in common with me?”

Obama gave away their futures with DACA, screwed their health with PPACA (at least after they start making the real money they're hoping to make),and has forced them to argue completely insane talking points to defend Obama and Hillary. Maybe, just maybe, they've come to that point in their life when they question their beliefs like that character in James Michener's "The Drifters" when he came to the point of pulling the trigger on that surefire way to get out of the draft.

WHERE was this?

It's certainly not obvious, but it have been held at the University of Maryland.

““I didn’t come here with any talking points, I don’t have a speech, I don’t have a candidate yet, but I do have an empty chair skull,” said Brazile.”

There. Fixed now.

Only the really fanatic true believers showed up.

Well, with free condoms being handed out across campus, it became a question of priorities. /s

I’d like to think kids are wising up, seeing what a Leftist really will do if you let them.

I’m sure they’ll be supporting more hope and strange in 2016.

[DoughtyOne]

They heard you had to shower before attending...

[mikey_hates_everything]

From what I see at work, they usually get s*** done badly and then whine when there’s no heaping of praise.

...I don’t have a candidate yet, but I do have an empty chair soul,” said Brazile.

[Bigg Red]

I get so turned off by vulgarity found in so many places today.

Same here.

But, in the case of the DemocRats, that term may be appropriate for what they do to the world.

[Bigg Red]

And I notice that the vulgarity came from a female. Was a time, not too long ago, that no self-respecting woman would talk this way.
