Even Bernie?   

-- only if he wants to
Seriously, what if Bernie had STFU? All these ppl that he awakened  last yr, that he continues to awake, might never have woke up.  Should he STFU & not take on the Donald? So yeah, Silents should enjoying their retirement, if that's what they want, but we shouldn't tell them to STFU

Quote:me--But ya know, it got me thinking, does the Grey Champion have to be a prez? Bernie going toe to toe with the Donald (who should really STFU) got me thinking, mebbe he could be our Grey Champ?

SomeGuy Wrote:The myth of the Grey Champion was very much based on someone not a president.  So, you can cling to it if you want.  Me, I've thought of Bernie as a pussy since that rally in Seattle where he let two random women push him away from the microphone.  Plus caving to Hillary at every conceivable opportunity.

-- well Bernie did say if he ever told us who to vote for, not to listen to him. I admire Bernie. It pisses me off that he's not our Prez. But l don't worship him. I don't think anybody does anymore. Those fools bailed when Bernie refused to run as a Green, & started paying lip service to the hildabitch. Said Bernie sold us out. Well Bernie said he would support the Dem nominee & he kept his word, even tho the DNC screwed him over & nobody would of blamed him if he had run Green.  But that would only hurt him in the long run. By playing their game, Bernie not only kept his commitee poitions, but got a new one- outreach. Which allows him to bring Berniecrats into the party.

As for the Seattle incedent, that could of escalated into something awful, which is what the $hillbots wanted, of course (the local BLM denied any responsibility, never heard of the women involved, a bogus fb page had been put up the morning of the rally, then abandoned. After some investigation, those women were/are suspected of being pd trolls) Bernie defused the situation nicely

Quote:me-- I'm just sayin what l heard. I forget where l heard Uncle Joe say he was considering it, but Bernie did not rule it out when asked about it on his CNN Town Hall. 3 yrs is a long way off, things can change. Bernie in particular would probably step aside if enough Berniecrats step up to the plate

SomeGuy Wrote:Yeah, I don't buy it.  And if that's what you are pinning your hopes on...  

--nope. 2020's a few yrs off. Too early to tell

 
me--as both. You think these pols just pop up whole cloth? Millies need to run in munincipal & state elections, & maybe the House if they aren't already. As the 2020s progress they move into the Senate, & eventually the WH. Speaking of which, John Kennedy-a Civic- moved into the WH @ age 42, so it could happen. It depends how bad this Crisis turns out to be. They are already the largest voting bloc, & will get bigger when the last cohort (my 16 yr old nieces, et al) turn 18. Meanwhile, the Silents & 1st wave Boomers are dying off. So yeah, l can see the Millies throwing out the dinosaurs (your term, not mine) thruout the 2020s

Quote:Emphasis mine.  They don't pop up fully formed like flies from shit, there is a whole career progression that is generally needed.  So, there are not enough of them (us) there now to "throw the bums out" completely by 2024.  Boomers will gradually phase out over the course of the 2020s, and Millies will become more prominent, but Xers in particular are going to be there for a while.

Sorry.

-- l said it's a possibility. Depends on how the coming Crisis is (mis)handled. But yeah they will gain prominent thru the 2020s. That is for certain
