Those of us who are the “Old Guys” in the Democratic Party were once the young guys.

Many of the people I have worked with over the years became involved in high school, or college, and have attempted to move the country toward the future, but it had not been easy.

When the concept of a civil country based on civil laws began to spook the religious extremists we got the Moral Majority and the birth of Evangelicals who began to replace politics for the teachings of Jesus, and along came Ronald Reagan who knew how to play that.

It’s not easy to bring progress about when a political party begins to push the idea that if you voted for the “wrong guy” you would make Jesus weep causing God to send you to burn in hell for eternity.

Politics was for too many a spectator sport where the majority sat on the sidelines expressing their disapproval if things did no go the way they would have liked even as they had the opportunity but chose not to help bring their expectations to fruition.

When you look at poll numbers for the latest elections, very few people actually voted, but many expressed their anger with the results.

Sadly it took the election of Donald Trump to wake people up to the reality that if you do not vote you allow the wrong person to get in office, so your non-vote is in reality a vote for the guy you do not want.

In this past election there were a number of people who did not vote in protest of the candidates. but one of them got elected anyway.

I was actually told by more than one young person in their twenties, that they were not going to vote because “you old people need to be taught a  lesson”.

I don’t thin they thought it through because they have the same president we old people do.

I was at the Massachusetts Democratic state convention this past weekend. Out of the total of 4,500 people in attendance, 1,500 of them were first time attendees.

They had gotten out of the stands and finally entered the game.

That number was 33%, 1/3, of those making the Massachusetts Democratic Platform the most progressive ever.

If you want change, you have to work for it, and finally that message was accepted.

It was good to see that things could get better, provided this is not a one shot deal where they feel they have done their part and now go back up into the stands to watch.

Welcome aboard, now stay on the ship.
