The young hipsters raced to cast their votes for the young, hip, cool, black President.

Will they do the same for Hillary Clinton?
That is the 64 trillion dollar question.

Too bad very few of them can’t get a decent job; they just sit at their parents’ home and enjoy their liberalism and handouts.

I’ve heard younger voters don’t consider Hillary to be “too old to run.”

Then they haven’t seen a photo up close and un-airbrushed. During 2008 she looked AWFUL!

And besides that, they are all about being ‘cool’. This means you HAVE to ‘burn’ the Republican, no matter HOW awful they think their democrat candidate is.

The young, the shiftless, the unassimilable, and the entitled are the future and they will decide the fate of this country.

That girl in New Jersey who is suing her parents is probably typical.

“Is it a mere reaction to the disaster of the Bush years, or rising social liberalism?”

“Disaster of the Bush years”? That may be the biggest and most dishonest begged question I have seen in years. Good grief!

Ding, ding, ding! Folks, we have a winner for the Occam’s Razor Money Quote of the Day!

Uh, you do mean very few CAN get a decent job, don’t you?

That the young tilt left is nothing new. What has really screwed up American politics is that the senior vote, which in the past was reliably conservative, is now full of left leaning baby boomers.

I don’t have evidence to back up my assertion, but I call this ‘whistling past the graveyard’.

I think a lot of them have figured out that they were deceived. They may have been programmed by the education system, but most of them will eventually figure out the lies. Maybe it won’t be too late to avoid catastrophe . . . although time is running short.

If I were a young liberal, I’d worry about my student loans and finding a job instead.

You don’t think Bush putting Obama in office was a disaster?

No. She will be viewed as being way too old by the youths.

I think they are deluding themselves.

If a shift is coming it is in the opposite direction. No jobs, loss of hours, Obamacare, national debt, diminished prospects across the board.

This generation is being scrued and everyday more are recognizing just what the consequences of liberal policies are.

Yes they voted for all this and now its costing them big time. The difference is now its personal and it hurts. Just how HIP is it to be just another liberal zombie like your teacher, professor, community agitator or Joe Biden?
