Go, David Hogg, Go! -- Wonkette

18. So, how old does someone have to be to

have a voice?

Is 50 old enough? 60? Maybe 70 or 80 before voters start to matter?

And yet, I hear people saying "young people won't vote for us....WHY?"

Well, they are sure aware that they aren't wanted...well, their votes are, but their voices sure aren't.

My sons, who vote for Democrats, do tell me that they vote for them because they are the only real choice, not because they believe that they will do anything for young people or people who aren't wealthy.

So, I ask again...when do people start to matter? What age is it that makes it worthwhile to listen to them?

Why should a person in their 20's, just starting out, believe that a wealthy person in their 70s or 80s cares about their life more than their own personal stock portfolio?

You may not choose to vote for a person under a certain age, but what we've been doing isn't working. Maybe being loud and disruptive IS where our party needs to go. Maybe we need to say NO, loudly, instead of smiling and nodding while maintaining a pretense of "friends on the other side of the aisle".

Because those "friends on the other side" are NOT friends to anyone who makes under a couple million a year.
