Send them all to Venezuela.

I would bet a very large pct. of the dopes who wanted to live under socialism could not tell you anything about Venezuela.  They would probably know all the biggest music and rap people, tv and movie stars, athletes, but little of what goes on in the real world.
It's a shame we can't ship them to Venezuela and let them enjoy the wonders of socialism for a year or two.

This is why the amendment that gave 18-year-olds the right to vote was extremely damaging to the future of the nation.

Heck, even by 21 one is just learning the "ways of the world".

Exactly.   Even discounting the deliberate indoctrination in higher education that is ongoing now, the youth of today are pretty much naïve and unaware re: the agenda that is ongoing in America now by the left to "fundamentally transform" us.   Oddly enough, Obama did manage to make a few correct, accurate and truthful statements during his reign.   The left has been trying to turn this country into a mobocracy for decades now.  Thank God for the US Constitution, our founding fathers and the way in which they structured our government.

On another thread, so-called conservatives are proud of their vanity-3rd party votes.

Do that a few cycles, splitting the conservative vote, and here we are, with the education-media-socialist left gaining gaining gaining.

But weren't those 3rd party vanity voters proud of their non-conformity? Their independence?

Wrong analysis.  State legislatures, some with very conservative compositions, gave monopolies to colleges of education to produce "qualified" or "certified" teachers.  Colleges of education have been hotbeds of baleful enthusiasms since long before the 1960's started the long march of the left through the institutions, having been captured by Deweyites during the "Progressive" Era.

For intelligent concerned people, the best way to vote, is chose your preferred option from ONLY viable candidates. Clue--McMuffin/Castle were not viable.

In this country, the presidency is won state-by-state.

In Illinois, Connecticut, California, New York, etc. - Trump was not a viable candidate.
In deep blue states, the only "viable" candidate was Clinton. No thank you.

Millennials would rather live in socialist or communist nation than under capitalism: Poll

‘This troubling turn highlights widespread historical illiteracy in American society’

 By Bradford Richardson - The Washington Times - Saturday, November 4, 2017

A majority of millennials would prefer to live in a socialist, communist or fascist nation rather than a capitalistic one, according to a new poll.

In the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation’s “Annual Report on US Attitudes toward Socialism,” 58 percent of the up-and-coming generation opted for one of the three systems, compared to 42 percent who said they were in favor of capitalism.

The most popular socioeconomic order was socialism with 44 percent support. Communism and fascism received 7 percent support each.

The same thing my parents said to me when I thought the grass was greener .....Absolutely nothing is stopping them packing up and leaving. If they truly feel they can get a better deal somewhere else then by all means go there and give it your best shot. When they find out they are wrong and want to come back they need to make a formal public declaration before they are allowed to be full citizens again. They same thing for all these whiny celebrities that keep promising to leave every time a Republican gets into office.

Trump is doing the conservative governance that you hoped Dole, McCain and Romney would do.

@truth_seeker i will admit that I voted 3rd party last year instead of voting for Trump. I did not rust him to govern Conservative. I can also say that I live in Virginia and the Commonwealth was going for Shrillary no matter what, so it was very easy for me to go third party. I can also say that I will be voting for Trump ijn 3 years.

I got on the Trump train after seeing him at a rally, seeing who supported him, and comparing that, to the outright lies being spread by his opponents and by the media.

His opponents and the media said his supporters were Nazis for instance. Old and white. Well guess what? I saw none of that at the rally, but I saw leftist (early version of antifa) riot outside the venue.
