We done fucked up.
Only 12% of the people who voted were of my Millennial Generation, and turnout was dismal in general. Why? Because the Democratic leadership is either incompetent, compromised by "Third Way" corporate infiltration, or both. There was nothing that really energized the average left-leaning person, and the Dem Establishment is ignoring the issues people, especially my fellow Millennials, find important because they are scared of angering their corporate donors. Things like Net Neutrality, Student Loan forgiveness, Marijuana legalization, long-term unemployment and underemployment, the militarization of the police forces, and privacy. Instead we get meaningless platitudes of "middle class this" and "middle class that".
My generation feels like, besides Bernie and Liz, nobody is listening to us.
Meanwhile the Pukes were energized by bigotry and MSM scaremongering.

What you need is a Supreme Court that will not vote to take away choice from women, who won't criminalize equality, and who won't tell Congress that there's some obscure sentence in the Constitution that allows them to rule by fucking decree.
The Democrats, as a bloc, will put people on the Supreme Court who will guarantee that our rights are preserved. The GOP won't. That's the bottom line.
It's bigger than any one person. It's a philosophy--and believe me, when the rich get richer, and you get poorer, you'll figure out which way that GOP philosophy blows.
Voting against Boehner and McConnell is voting FOR a Supreme Court that will preserve YOUR RIGHTS. But hey...."I need a HEEEEE-Ro!!!!"
and if voting was as easy as pushing the send button we would have more participation and better representation in this plutocratic country ....
That is really going to get them out to vote! 
In reality they will roll your eyes and dismiss you as another clueless establishment tool who thinks they are entitled to their votes.
Don't blame anyone else for the fact that your generation sat at home, navel gazing, and allowed other people to choose your government for you!
Would you like some cheese with your whine?
..that any of us ever feel "listened to" by politicians?
Do you think that if you had a chance to sit down and have a confab with anyone (even "liz" or "bernie"
they would do anything other than tell you what you want to hear? They would lie their asses off (like EVERY elected politician does) and when you walked out the door, 30 seconds later they would have brushed you off their mind, and be thinking about which lobbyist was buying them lunch.
Sad to say that IF in fact the reason the republicans won big this election cycle is that the millenials all stayed home because there wasn't anyone progressive enough to vote for, yes, you did fuck up, and you are royally screwed with Boehner, McConnell, and all the rest salivating over another two years of trying to repeal the ACA, avoid paying women what they're worth while telling them what they can and can't do with their bodies etc., etc.
Man I feel your pain, but talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face..........
I'm trying to remember any legislation I was excited about that the Dem's were bringing. It's like they had nothing to motivate voters to go out to the poles with. Instead it was all about blaming the voter and threatening them. I mean the shit's really fucked up. No cohesion of the delegates either, it was like everyone for themselves!
