@Novelty I am one of those old people and I am in no hurry to leave, thank you very much. You will become more patient as you get older or you will just become angry. Most folks, and I am not one of them as my life style was nothing but radical changes, don't like change. It is just human nature for most folks everywhere.

@Charlene It has nothing to do with kool aid. It has to do with common sense. People who let their emotions guide them in these matters generally fuck it up for everybody. trumpers are a perfect example of this. If you don't vote for whichever Dem who gets the nomination you are part of the problem. That is just a simple fact. if Bernie gets the nod I will vote for him without hesitation, but it would be the same if my plumber got the nomination. If you really think the South and Midwest are going to wake up and be Progressive, you are the one drinking Kool-Aid.

@DavidDuhon It takes generational change. When we Boomers die or there are a lot fewer of us hopefully that will speed things up. The young, just as we did in the sixties and seventies get pissed when they don't get their way and don't vote. It was stupid then and if they do it now it will not only be stupid, but reckless.

@Charlene That is just ridiculous. You act like Bernie is the saviour of the world. He would not be able to get all of the Dems in the Congress to vote for Medicare for all. As for free college, the Federal Goverenment has nothing to do with state universities. That is entirely up to the states. That is fact. If they don't vote, it is on them and they need to be bitch slapped. This is the worst President in our history. If people don't vote him out no matter who the nominee is, it is on them. There is no excuse period. This is no time for whiny cry babies. If they didn't learn in 16 then they are too stupid to live, much less vote. That is just fact!

Sticks48 replies on Mar 4, 2020:
Trump has already said he might not debate. There is no law he has to debate. In a debate he has to defend his record. In 2016 he had no record to defend. Trumps ads against Biden won't be near as bad as his "Socialist" ads he will hit Bernie with. Biden will definitely pull those right leaning Independents and moderate left leaning Indies. Hopefully Trump fatigue will bring some of those millions who didn't vote in 16. We will see.

Less than 50% of registered Democrats identify as progressive. 28% of registered voters are Democrats about the same number are Republicans. The rest are registered Independents. The Indies are moderate whether they lean left or right. Only about 10% or less of Indies are really independent. Do the math. It is scary.

@Nunya He didn't say anything we haven't known for a long time. I don't care which Dem gets the nod. Not one of them excites me. I like Warren the best , but l don't think she will get the nomination. It will most likely be Bernie or Biden, unless neither one can come up with over 50% of the delegates and it ends up a brokered convention. If that happens it could be anybody. I will vote for the Dem no matter who it is. If it was you, you would get my vote.After all is said and done, whoever wins the nomination, if they can't pull in a large number of those left leaning independents, they can't win. That is a fact.

It is no different than your assumptions or anyone else's at this point. Everyone is assuming and guessing, including you. You are all assuming if Bernie wins there will be big changes. Bernie won't even be able to get a Democratic controlled house to go with most of his ideas. There are a lot of moderate Dems who will not vote for his ideas and no Republicans. If the Dems don't take the Senate it will be like with Obama, and the Republicans will pass nothing, especially if McConnell or McCarthy are in charge.

If not, they will be just as much to blame as the people who vote for trump. If they don't and trump wins they need to shut the fuck up. Bernie needs to quit coming off as the angry old man. lf you look at our history, angry does not win national elections. People like positive messaging. The main thing is getting rid of trump, period. Ant Democrat will be better than trump. That is fact. If you want to gamble on a 7 to 2 Supreme court, then don't vote and help put trump in.

Sticks48 comments on Feb 25, 2020:
Who wants a national health care system like all other modern countries have? That is just stupid. Lets just keep bending over while the insurance companies keep fucking us in the ass with no lube. That is a lot better. And who doesn't think you should come out of college 30 to 100 thousand dollars ...

@Outsideit67 According to what I have read it is the people over 60 or 65 who automatically jump to communism when socialist programs are brought up. The younger people are smart enough and weren't around for the non existent threat of the USSR. We have all sorts of socialist programs the old fucks like me benefit from such as Medicare, SS, the VA, farm subsidies, and more. Too many Americans are not very bright. The younger folks look at the nordic countries not the USSR as their model.

I'm not a joiner of groups of any kind and never have been, even in high school, other than bands. I can't relate to this on any level. I am very picky about who I hang out with and always have been.
Sticks48 replies on Feb 25, 2020:
@darkstar24 It works for me. I left the church at 14 so it really didn't have a hold on me and being a night person even as a child I didn't miss getting up on Sunday morning for that.

Summer72 comments on Feb 23, 2020:
I hate to be a Debbie Downer, But, I'm skeptical about Bernie being able to beat Trump. Bernie will not be able to sway any Repubs that are on the fence about Trump. Our only hope would be Huge Blue Numbers! Like @bobwjr said, a blue Tsunami might do it!
Sticks48 replies on Feb 23, 2020:
@Outlier I know. I am hoping they have trump fatigue and come out in droves or at least enough to win if the Dems nominate someone who moderate Republicans can't go for. We really need the Senate too.

Sticks48 comments on Feb 22, 2020:
Truth, but you can't fix stupid. The idea of employers providing health care was a bad idea to begin with, plus employers would have more money for salaries. What do you expect from a nation full of ignorant hillbillies who would elect someone as vile as our current President?

BW STVENSON "East India Company"...
FearlessFly comments on Feb 22, 2020:
(from texasmonthly.com) Halfway between the coasts sat Texas, where hundreds of honky-tonks functioned as Nashville’s farm system. But that music belonged to the old guard. Texas kids were more interested in the state’s thriving folkie circuit. The hub was a Dallas listening room called the ...
Sticks48 replies on Feb 22, 2020:
The West Coaster country rockers took folk and pop music and added fiddles and steel guitars and the Texas country rockers took country and folk music and kicked it in the ass. All good, just a different approach. BW was a great singer and a really nice man. I spent some time with him. He was gone way to soon.

@fishline79 I do agree with your statement. I have spent some time in the deep South and there is definitely something wrong with way too many of those folks, but it is the same in Ark, Okla, and parts of Texas. There is a willful ignorance that is just plain scary.

Replace the blank stare with the sad face which we used to have. How many months did we have TWO thumbs up? Did you care about that extra one.? Hell get rid of all of them and we can type in happy, sad, angry...and so on. Of course we we will get many fewer responses. Do we really need a blank stare? What does that even mean?

To be cannon fodder for that kind of bullshit is completely unfair and immoral. When i was in it was middle class and lower getting drafted. If you think that will change you really don't understand this country.
