After 2020 will the progressive movement be dead

[White Trash]

One would think that after so much losing, the Democrat party would cleanse itself of the toxic rot in its bones.

and what exactly is the toxic rot it is suffering from?

Folks like you and your ideological kin.

And this is why you just keep losing and losing.  No wonder Democrats are an afterthought in your state, given the poor people there must deal with your political positions and self-righteousness.

Except we have a Democratic governor who won quite handily? Also, the bolded part is really ironic coming from you. How many times does your brand of "liberalism" have to be defeated in election after election in just about every level of politics before you get the message that no one likes what you're selling?

Remember that time you said "Trash that happens to be better educated than you and is doing work for an esteemed institution buckeroo :-)"

And on that subject, you are soooooo willing to attack folks for their background, education and age. And yet, we don't know a thing about you. So why don't you hop off that high horse of yours and tell us what breed it is?

Sure as soon as you tell us what esteemed institution is in Louisiana.  We can do that... tell me how at 20 you are better educated than someone with two degrees from Ivy League schools?  Alternative facts?

You keep saying this over and over again. But have yet to name the institutions and degrees you hold. Oh and btw, thanks for paying for my Obamacare and food stamps :-)

Yale and Penn.  Now your turn?

Oxford, Cambridge, Columbia, Harvard. You see I can make stuff up too :-)

I'm honestly curious to know what keeps you voting Democrat. When it's so clear that your temperament and views on human decency are more in line with an Ayn Rand worshiping Republican.

Well, you have zero personal perspective on American politics given that you've only been old enough to vote for one election, so that's not really surprising to me.

Not an answer

I think my views are pretty in line with Hillary Clinton's, I just view the deplorables more broadly than she did.

Except Clinton supported the welfare state and number of programs and services that would be considered "Progressive".

She was tempered enough that I could overlook that to vote Democrat.  Unlike the more deplorable  wing of the party that you seem to fully support, which supports outright socialism... that is reprehensible enough to vote Republican.  So perhaps my name is becoming less accurate as I grow older... perhaps I am a bit more swingy as I am unwilling to put up with the agenda you espouse. 

The issue is that this wing could very well take the reigns of the Democratic Party. The DLC and their ilk lost. Clinton's defeat simply makes your wing of the party look ineffective and unable to be competitive anymore. I really shouldn't call it a wing, considering that it is a very very small and very very unpopular minority.

Needless to say, I'm glad that folks of your income make up only 1% of America. And exactly 0% of who I care about.

Feeling is mutual, which is why we don't want to pay for your college education after we paid for our own college educations... 

But why does it matter anyways to you anyways??? you already graduated from Oxford and Harvard, etc. and are doing big things in Louisiana so you don't need socialism.

I sure hope you can still feed and clothe yourself cheaply without the poor and the working.

I can definitely see young voters wrenching right in the next 20 years, and the GOP could find themselves winning young voters by 2022.

K I have no idea how considering studies show millennials are very liberal

Generation Z is so conservative it'll make ya head spin. And by conservative I mean national socialist

I still don't buy that idea

Yeah I don't seriously think that a generation that's not even of voting age is conservative let alone a bunch of Nazis.

In fact given the current trends I think they'll be second only to millenials as the most Democratic living generation.

What current trends?  As you say they are not even voting age yet.

Well that's why I don't fully know whether they'll be conservative or not: because it's only trends in place right now that could change.

But right we know that the best indicator of ones lifelong party affiliation is to look at what Party was in the White House when one turned 18 and how they Party performed (538). Generation Z will likely be coming of age during an unpopular GOP administration from now til 2020. I think Pence or Trump will have the advantage when it comes to the 2020 election because they'll be sitting presidents and will have the Reagan coalition to fall back on. From then on I can't really say whether or not they'll be popular in their second term (if they even get one) so idk whether the rest of Gen Z will come of age during a popular GOP presidency from 2020-2024. This also doesn't include the rest of Generation Z that comes of age from 2024-2036.

We do know that they're the most racially diverse generation in American history so that's a big plus for the Democrats though.

Well that is probably true... I came of age under George W. and that certainly turned me off to Republicans. 

You're a bit thick aren't you?
