Labor Day News: 'Young Workers: A Lost Decade’

[FayeforCure]

STephen is not a "whack job".

The sooner we move beyond "group think" the better.

Yeah, "group think" is what keeps people entrenched. This is why there is very liitle cross-over voting. Not many Reps have ever voted for ANY Dem.

Among dems there generally seems to be less group think going on, in fact dems often lack a unified voice, because there is a lot of individual thinking and yes, analysis being done by dems. I find many informed dems to be well-researched.

And don't worry, I used to be a Republican too.

Your source for such authoritative comment?  Or is it possible that this "think" on politics is just your opinion?

[Burn to Shine]

I don't know if I can agree with that opinion - I'd say I've seen plenty of that going on on the Dem side as well.  I'm all for bringing in (and really giving them a chance) a third, fourth, fifth...party to shakes things up on both sides.

[Dog Walker]

Burn, you have just hit the one issue on which all powers in the Republican and Democratic parties agree.  They will do anything to prevent the rise of alternative parties. 

Think about it.  You and I, as taxpayers, pay for the primaries of the Republican and Democratic parties.  Do you see the primary candidates of the Green, Libertarian, of States Rights Party on the ballot.  No, they have to pay for and organize their own elections.  In fact every presidential election cycle the Libertarian party has to sue almost every state in order to appear on the final ballot at all.

So much for "democratic" elections.  It's like going into a restaurant and only being able to order fish or chicken. 

[Burn to Shine]

I hear you!

[NotNow]

Agreed.
