Clinton and Trump are Losing a Lot of Young Voters

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/clinton-and-trump-are-losing-a-lot-of-young-voters/

Maybe there's hope for breaking the duoply yet?

 

I'm glad to see it! Bring on the underdog party!

 

In the words of a famous dictator:

"The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."

 

If Clinton and Trump are losing a lot of young voters, who is left, other than the extreme radical nut cases and the totally uninformed?

 

Like this is a bad thing??? Change has to start somewhere, sometime.....

 

That pretty much covers it

 

I'm actually less concerned with the president as long as it's not Trump but really concerned about the next Supreme court selections

 

We have that many parties..we just don't let them compete in the debates and they're poor so have no ad funding...we need to see the Libertarian convention, the Green Party convention, The constitution party convention, all of them.

 

Stalin, waay off geez.

 

I consider anyone that wants the court to tell you what the Constitution says, rather than wanting the court to follow what we can all read, as originally written, is truly uninformed. To want the courts to replace the amendment process is as extreme and uninformed as you can find. It is like giving up your rights and your protection without a struggle.

It doesn't make it any less egregious that an entire generation or two think they are in favor of this out come. It does indicate a lack of understanding and knowledge of history.

To be specific, anyone that want the courts to be stacked to enable the progressive agenda rather than follow the Constitution, as modified by amendments currently ratified and in the future is indeed the definition of ignorant.

 

I have to take you to task on this one ....what's wrong with progression? Our Constitution has been amended throughout the years. When did you want this to stop happening and why would anyone compare what the original 13 colonies mapped out with what America is today? Conservatives have definitely contributed to the amendments. I think you're stereotyping generations and assuming what they favor...then calling them ignorant...for a country that hasn't reached a thousand years of age yet...you seem to want to hang on to pre Civil War attitudes if you deem change as ignorance. What's the issue? Abortion? Gun control? Gay rights? Sounds like the Constitution party would be your party of choice.

 

They just need a Pokemon Voting app or let people use Facebook or Instagram to vote. Problem solved, and created.

 

Is progression an amendment I haven't heard of. Maybe your mortgage should be a living document. House is worth more? Well, your payment goes up.

 

Most amendments are a form of progression...unless you consider women's right to vote bad along with many changes along the way

 

Lol, believe he was talking specifically about Murica, and "democracy."

 

>>>>Good question Bodyman.

>>>Everything if you expect the court to provide you with progress. If you offer and amendment that you view as progress then I am not opposed to that at all, even if I don't agree with your amendment.

>>>Yes, and some amendments were sorely needed and long over due. Some were not so good and repealed. Not a thing wrong with this process.

>>> I do not wish to see the process stop. Not sure why you think this would be the case?

>>> I didn't. Why do you ask?

>>> Perhaps I am, I would hope to be wrong. However, I do not see one post in this thread that supports the idea of appointing a judge to the court that will follow the Constitution with the philosophy of original intent. If you do not like what the Constitutions says then it should be amended if agreeable, rather than rely on the court to reinterpret what it says to fit the current progressive view.

>>> Wild man! I say what I mean, but I can't help what you infer.

>>> A good example. This has been front and center for far too long now. A bull shit ruling by the court did not end the question. An amendment put through process should have been done.
I would support it even though I find the idea repugnant. I would even be in favor of having the Federal Government pay for the proceedure when appropriate. We do not need more feral children in this country.

>>>The right to bare arm shall not be infringed. If you wish to remove that right or infringe on it, then lets see the amendment.

>>>It might seem that way, but I am not likely to cast a vote that probably has no meaning. As it stands now, I agree with the Democrats about 10% of the time,
with the Republicans about 75% of the time. No other party is relevant even if you agree with them 90+% of the time.

As it is today, I agree with Trump more that the Republicans and Hillary on about nothing, especially her statement about appointing justices that will enable the progressive agenda[/QUOTE]
