The Democratic Party in Trump's Fascist 2nd Term. Commentary, Ideas & Strategy (+ non Woketicism)

I'm quite fond of some Boomers, I don't hate all of them!!! They just don't hold a candle to their parents, they all know it, and they've spent their whole lives pretending like they do.

 

What I'm picking up is that you see your fight as being with old boomers, especially boomer Dems who you blame for everything. What did I miss.

 

This isn't true. We want you to vote for our candidates who have a much better chance of taking on Fascism than the ones you want us to vote for. The ones you've voted for led us into Fascism. Put differently, you've cut down the forest and you want the people who cut it down to plant the new one.

You've turned Congress into a retirement home for Chrissakes.

 

Your DSA candidates? C'mon, we have to win some swing states.

 

If you just run the diet version of what they are offering how can you win long term?

You don't beat Coke by selling Pepsi in Georgia.

 

Do we even need a Coke and a Pepsi which really only serve to enrich the few at the expense of the many? Wouldn’t we be better off with one cola? The People’s Cola sold at state run grocery stores across the land!

 

We have not seen in living experience.
Urban political machines were a thing up to the post war era,as well as privatized law enforcement used to break unions.

 

Damn straight!

 

Their parents are those in this picture and only one of them are worth shit.

 

Is your point that Boomers have gotten smarter at racism than their parents so they are better?

As the nation prepares to mark the 70th anniversary of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, a new report from researchers at Stanford and USC shows that racial and economic segregation among schools has grown steadily in large school districts over the past three decades — an increase that appears to be driven in part by policies favoring school choice over integration.

Analyzing data from U.S. public schools going back to 1967, the researchers found that segregation between white and Black students has increased by 64 percent since 1988 in the 100 largest districts, and segregation by economic status has increased by about 50 percent since 1991.

The report also provides new evidence about the forces driving recent trends in school segregation, showing that the expansion of charter schools has played a major role.

 

My point is that the Silent Generation weren't shit.

 

Sez you!

Little Rock 1957...I was there!

 

I think the older folks pictured in that photo aren’t in the silent generation. No one in the silent generation would have been older than teenagers in 1953. I’m confused at the general argument here.

 

The oldest of the silent generation would have been thirty when this picture was taken. You are saying everyone there is older than 30?

 

I believe the silent generation was born between 1928-1945. How are they 30 in 1953?

Most Boomers don’t have silent generation for parents. Maybe some of the later boomers that cusp with Gen X?

I was talking about the GI Generation or the Golden Generation that each of my grandparents belonged to…..

 

That picture is 1957.

 

Cops already do this all the time as part of the war on drugs. It's ridiculous.

 

Isn't that a bit of a generalisation? The vast majority of people aren't there.

It's more accurate to say that the white people in THAT photo are also part of the great generation, (or whatever phrase one wishes to use). Personally, I think that such phases are pretty daft anyway, for the reasons given.

 

The point is he brought up the idea of one generation believing that they didn't live up to a predecessor generation. The idea that there was something so great to live up to is actually daft.

 

Fair point.

But some of them, (like the man, the myth, the legend that is @roby ), are undoubtedly great, as I'm sure we can all agree

 

We only wish we could be @roby
