And or have states do their best to suppress the vote or have the Supreme Court overturn voter rights laws. That works well to.

FIFY. Everyone voted. Some just didn't cast a ballot. There is no way to not vote though.

Yeah having an ID is really going to suppress a huge number of votes.
If they can't get a few dollars together for an ID card over the course of a year then they weren't going to be able to afford to vote anyway. How many people don't have a photo ID? They are needed to cash checks, start a bank account, get a job, etc. so it is not the issue that some like to pretend.
Exactly right. When Chris Christie is on Jimmy Fallon's show and he casually pulls a doughnut from his [big] pocket to munch on, or Obama sits in a chair and lets Zach Galiafinkis [sp?] ask him "How does it feel to be the last black man elected as POTUS?", younger people respond with affirmation, with "my kind of people!" enthusiasm. Those same people wouldn't know Jeb Bush or Rand Paul if they bumped into them, nor would they much care about what they're trying to sell.
Of course, getting positive name recognition doesn't mean keeping it - Christie is beginning to look rather shady, with multiple ongoing investigations into his affairs [of state, not personal], and Obama has blundered a time or two as well, but the point is that younger people know who they are, at least. And not because the musicians both groups admire are publicly rejecting the politicians who cluelessly use the music in their campaigns, lol.
Rand Paul has made a serious attempt to connect with younger voters.
Tom Morello [guitarist for the band Rage Against The Machine] summed up the Republican disconnect perfectly, when he heard Paul Ryan was a fan. "I wonder which of our songs are perfect for jamming out at the Young Republican's Club? Don't get me wrong, I get that Ryan has rage: against women, immigrants, workers, gays, poor people, the environment. Basically, the only ones he doesn't rage against are the privileged elite, as he grovels for their campaign donations. Doesn't he understand that he's the 'machine' we're raging against?!"
Christie's very clearly non mutual admiration for Bruce Springsteen was higher profile, but I don't think the Repubs have a clue that young people [and plenty who aren't] care most about things that don't involve getting and keeping more money, prestige, power - they care about people.

Those guys have shown the way for aspiring musicians. Just claim that you are for the average person and the rubes will throw money at you while you grow your massive multi-million dollar business. I would say that having a net worth of $30 million like Morello or $300 million like Springsteen puts them in the category of being out of touch. The act that they put on is brilliant and Morello does have a tremendous amount of skill though.
Think for the time being I will go with Donald Trump. Not really presidential but he is a heck of a bomb and flame thrower. Should provide some entertainment if he decides to run. Of course for the fifth time.
Yes, he definitely is a flame thrower and has a certain entertainment value, as evident by the Trump v Jonah Goldberg twitter spat.Think for the time being I will go with Donald Trump.

Sure, it's just like Mark Knopfler sang: "money for nothing".

Sure you would, because anyone & everyone is just like anyone & everyone else, and everyone who has a lot of money is out of touch - can't possibly be any other way. WRONG.
The act that they put on
Please share the reasoning that led to such a conclusion regarding the views of Morello and the band, both in the comment cited and in their lyrics. Why do you think they're insincere?
Couldn't have proven my point any better, lol. When you don't like what you hear [and I mean the generic you, not Barkley in particular] just dismiss it with a derogatory comment. Ignore the fact that millions of others agree with the comment, and assume they don't vote for you because you need to "repackage the message".

More like people believing lies about something, after it is repeated over and over again, the Alinsky way. Can't fix stupid .
Agree that you can't fix stupid, and would include cryptic nonresponsive comments in the category of 'can't be fixed', myself.
Alinsky wasn't the only one, you know. We still keep hearing about 'job creators', tax cuts for business produce jobs, etc, and some people believe the lies.
Can't figure out how an online dictionary works? OK: cryptic: hidden, unclear [which people? what lies?]
Non responsive: did not address the points made.
