Animals always fight harder when they’re cornered.
The young ones will become smarter and vote more often. But they will also get older … Hmmm
Millennials tend to become more progressive as they age (probably has something to do with realizing how much inequality sucks and understanding the reason why it’s happening)
They said the same thing about millenials, then they get older, get jobs, and families, and bills, and bitterness, and many look for people to blame and shift right.
Except millennials have only moved left as they’ve gotten older.
Political leaning is determined by material conditions and culture. The conditions that moved the boomers to the right do not apply to millenials
Why would that change? Do you see millennials getting massive wage increases and houses they can buy for 2 pieces of string and some pocket lint? Food prices to drop back to when minimum wage could afford 3-6 big macs?
Why would millennials suddenly start trying to conserve the systems that have working harder than every previous generation while struggling to afford necessities?
Well then where the fuck are they?
A lot are disenfranchised by voter ID laws and weird residency requirements around college campuses. Others just don’t realize the exceptional time we are in because their entire adult life has been marked by encroaching fascism and that seems normal.
A lot of the far right are millennials and Gen Z. While the proportions in different generations are different, this isn’t purely a generational thing. The implied message is that we can “wait them out,” but that is basically just the same as doing nothing. We can’t do nothing. We have to motivate people to vote, and then get them to volunteer and have them get others to vote.
If that’s what the map would look like if younger generations voted like 65+, then go get those people voting so we get that map next election.
Listen, one side supports holocaust and wants endless wars with no Medicare4All or minimum wage increases, and the otherside wants the same. The literal only candidate not to stick to that script is insane Trump who is problematic for all his own reasons. The real lesson is people would rather not vote than support someone shitty, and call me crazy but that I live in NYC and only see more Trump Flags and literal looks of disgust when mentioning Harris, has me pretty convinced shes gonna lose really badly, like this might be in history books next to to failure.
And you part was what exactly? You contributed nothing and only double downed on the blue no matter who.
“Literal looks of disgust” probably when you’re at the local Nazi bar and say her name. NYC will overwhelmingly vote blue so you’re just being delusional. 🌻🌻🌻
Ok here me out, Black folks tell me she needs to sit the fuck down and slow her roll, Indians tell me they will not vote for a women, Asians say they can’t support a no bail prosecutor, Muslims call her Israeli and say she must be from Ethiopia, the ”white dudes” I see on TV all day are like her or Trump is that a joke? Again I do not see support that isn’t Trump Hate. You know, what do you like about Harris so maybe I could learn something today?
Hey is your again. Trying for gold in the “worst takes” Olympics? Trump flags are everywhere because these racist idiots left them up since 2016.
Lol they say 2024 everyone thinks hes stupid and consider Harris worse, that should be quite alarming. By the way where have we met before?
That’s such a great point.
I’ve been hearing this bullshit “Wait them out” message for 30+ years. There is no waiting out bad ideas and propaganda. You have to fight it with truth and activism.
