Everybody feels bad today, and there's been a lot of talk about building a movement, about creeping fascism, about leaving the country. But somehow the quantitatively most important reason we lost isn't quite getting its due IMHO:
<<But despite all the efforts, an Associated Press exit poll survey found that fewer than 1 in 10 voters Tuesday were 18 to 24, about the same proportion of the electorate as in 2000.>>
Proportional turnout of those ages 24 to 30 actually dropped, I believe.
Do the math. If these people had gotten off their duffs and quit snickering at "South Park" long enough to vote, we'd be celebrating today. We can turn out our voters, and the fundamentalists will match us step for step. But as long as youth is content to sit in its little iPod cocoon, the right will rush in and fill the void. They're really good at that.
How to change this state of affairs?
