The millennial generation, comprising the 90 million-plus young people born from 1982 to 2002, is now the nation's largest.


Cultural affinity still provides a political edge for Democrats (millennials gave Obama two-thirds of their votes in 2008 and three-fifths in 2012).


But to cement that loyalty, the party "has to make the economy work for more people," says Simon Rosenberg, president of NDN, a Democratic group that studies the generation.

Are most - if not all - of the liberals on JPP old white people?

perhaps... older, white, affluent, successful, intelligent, with enough passive income so that they can goof around on the computer during the day rather than punch a clock somewhere.

Can your evidence for that sweeping generalization be seen by undertaking a short jaunt to Harrisburg involving a wager?
 
I have never had any reason to go to Harrisburg, and from Mexico, it's hardly a short jaunt... And nothing that would interest me even if it were.

I don't punch a clock, and I have the utmost respect for those who do.

I worked for the man for a long long time.... now I don't. I have nothing but respect for people who still do... I am merely elated beyond words that I am no longer one of them.

Except your post clearly displayed disdain who 'punch a clock', in other words, guys who actually do physical work.

The Commander says he has nothing but respect for people who work.

Don't you believe him?

Maybe you two could make a bet or something, to settle the issue.

clearly? really???

I used punch a clock as an idiomatic expression referring to all those folks who go to work for someone else every morning.... something that I did my entire adult life. I have no disdain for clock punchers whatsoever. And I will say that, whilst in the Navy, the time intervals between punching in and punching out were, more often than not, a hell of a lot longer than the civilians who do "physical work".

Sure. ;)
 
You can keep mentioning Harrisburg, but that repetition will not suddenly make me understand the reference. I've never been to Harrisburg... To the best of my knowledge, I don't know anyone who lives there and I have never made a wager with anyone that involved going there. So... Unless you can provide some additional "illumination", I will continue to be baffled. Sorry.
