14. It goes in one ear and goes out the other

Only thing u can do is listen or block. They don't want to listen to different opioinion. They want to set the parameters for conversation. I really believe this generation feels that they are entitle for stuff from government like we bailed out the auto industry. They don't understand what gen-x and baby boomers are going through right now. I give them credit for being more self reliant but they don't know how to organize and vote: they believe listening to sanders is answer. Sadly I feel bad for them because after 'revolution' falls apart they don't have a safety net that's not going be there for them.

A great example was talking to a sanders supporter on Twitter and he complained about their was no guidance from older establishment dems and that's apart of the disconnect with party. I said to the person go to the organization programs through Wellstone, Obama and Clinton offer on how to lead and organize. I sent the person links to the programs and the person started to repeat sanders word for word. I gaved up, in which is sad. Really sad.

The reason I feel it's really sad is that they have this me attitude and they think it's gonna reach their goals.
