  1. SOME old white guys. When my generation of "Boomers" were in our 20s, we learned from "old white guys" like George Wald and pediatrician Benjamin Spock. Today 20-somethings bash ALL "old white guys," including those who, among many other major accomplishments, ended the draft.

  2. There actually are racists who actually believe they aren't racists because they are clueless as to what racism is. And that is in large part because of the knowing-racists who deny being racist while spewing that which they know is racist propaganda and engaging in racist attacks. Bob Dylan provided that insight in his song "Pawn in Their Game".

  5.  @solly119119  Because they are ignorant of the far-Left history of the 1960s -- in which Sanders is stuck. The far-Left in the 1960s, lead by the street "theater" and violence of Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, got NIXON elected. And they continue to LIE about Sanders -- who alienated the largest block of Democratic voters, the "centrists," by calling them "corrupt". So the majority of ACTUAL Democratic voters voted for the ACTUAL Democrat, Hillary Clinton -- who turned out to be exactly right about Trump. And they perpetuated the "thumb on the scale" LIE Sanders made up. But there were other problems with their vehement denials of fact: Manafort had a partner in Ukraine, and they together -- also using hacked emails -- got the pro-Russian president elected there. Manafort became head of Trump's campaign, and his partner head of the Sanders campaign. He was forced to resign when the Sanders campaign got caught hacking the DNC. Sanders, like Trump, smeared Clinton with REPUBLICAN lies. And Sanders stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Trump with his own serial lying about releasing his tax returns. In contrast: on the same day that Hillary declared her candidacy she released 30 YEARS of her tax returns. And then the whiny "Bernie Bros," being immature assholes, vowed to "blow up the system," voted for Sanders' exact opposite extreme -- Trump -- and there went _Roe_. So Sanders, Russia, Comey, Sanders' "fans," helped elect Trump, exactly as the far-Left of Hoffman and Rubin helped elect Nixon. And it was peculiar all along: Hillary had supporters -- which is normal. But both Sanders and Trump had "fans". The term "fans" is derived from the word "fanatic"; and applies to entertainers and celebrities -- not to the deadly serious of politics. And both of the latter responded identically to criticisms of Sanders and Trump -- by sidestepping criticisms and directly attacking the critic. And I note that Sanders has yet to endorse Harris. What is he waiting for?

  6.  @jerrybean3280  I have no problem with the young invited in. My concern is competence. You know what not only impresses but also moves me near to tears? Adam Mockler and Luke Beasley, as examples, of young people -- "kids," I say affectionately -- who are well and accurately informed, and who adhere to the facts and rules as foundation of their presentations. That's the competence we need -- not only in candidates but also in our political discourse. Others -- I reject their politics -- who are good and decent people: Michael Steele, Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Sarah Longwell. I don't, though, forget that they are Republicans.

  7.  @lovidas6297  That's exactly how one avoids extremism and error. "Always" and "never" are extremes which falsely presume perfection. Another fallacy is the invocation of "common sense" as means to inflate the support of one's view. "Common sense is much too common." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson. "Common sense is none too common." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

  8.  @solly119119  Just before the pandemic, comments began appearing online that "Boomers" need to be "offed". It was the "Boomers" who -- among other accomplishments -- did the following: Got the US out of Vietnam. Ended the draft. Mainstreamed the environmental movement -- which is why those 20-somethings know of it. (I learned of climate change in junior high science during the late 1950s-early 1960s. Showed that a president -- and vice-president -- could be "got". Sanders' politics are the "New Left" -- FAR-Left -- politics of the 1960s. I was there; I knew Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, and had disagreements with them: my view was and is that humans are social beings; theirs was that humans are political beings. I still point out that politics doesn't happen until humans come together socially. I saw firsthand how they operated: somehow they managed to have the media show up just after they provoked the police into violence -- so the media only saw the cops doing the clubbings. That, and the street chaos they generated, ALIENATED those we needed to end US involvement in Vietnam: the blue-collar voters. As result they voted for NIXON. If you look at the Sanders campaign OBJECCTIVELY you'll see that he attacked Clinton with REPUBLICAN/Right-wing smears -- while she didn't attack Sanders -- essentially double-teaming her with Trump. And you'll see that BOTH Sanders and Trump serially lied about releasing their tax returns, whereas Clinton, on the day she declared her candidacy, released 30 YEARS of her tax returns. Clinton had supporters. Sanders and Trump had "fans". Celebrities, entertainers, have "fans". Sanders sold pie-in-the-sky -- exactly as had Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin. So the politically naive Sanders supports bought into the pie-in-the-sky. And then when Sanders LOST the primary by ALIENATING the largest block of ACTUAL Democrats -- the "Centrists" -- the "Bernie Bros" vowed to "blow up the system" -- and voted for Sanders' exact opposite extremist TRUMP. So Sanders, and his politically-STUPID "fans" elected TRUMP -- and how "progressive" were the results? Roe has been overturned, Chevron has been overturned, and "Project 2025" is on the table. Very simple and obvious answer: Sanders vowed to destroy the DEMOCRATIC Party -- NOT the REPUBLICAN Party. And where are we again with Biden v. Trump? And the far-left political assholes, falsely claiming to be "progressives," joined him in jumping off the cliff. I don't object to them jumping off the cliff -- I've seen it before. I DO object to them pulling all the rest of us off the cliff with them.

  10.  @SgtTibbsTX  Apparently you missed the comments which began appearing just before the pandemic that "Boomers" needed to be "offed". What did my generation -- the "Boomers" -- achieve? Got the US out of Vietnam. Ended the draft. Mainstreamed the environmental movement. Invented the personal computer. Invented -- for better or worse -- social media. It's amazing that for the first time in history was born a generation or two before which there was no history.

  11. Want sexism? Distinguish one woman as "strong," thus implying that all other women are not "strong".
