Yes, I have 3. As of now, they will vote for Biden, but they are getting sucked into the algorithms. Based in what they are seeing on TikTok, they think Trump will win. |
Trump will win, at least unless something changes dramatically. It is shocking that the Democrats cannot defeat a diaper-wearing corrupt racist with raging dementia, but that’s where we are now. |
Give me a break. The entire world shut down. Schools shut down around the world. This wasn’t a democrat thing. It was a global pandemic that killed millions. And what schools closed for 2 years? I am a teacher. My students were virtual until mid-November 2020. Then they were hybrid until mid March, and they came back full time after that. So what schools exactly did democratic legislators force to close for 2 years? |
Tiktok is demoralizing and lying propaganda. I don't understand people who have it on their phones. Propaganda is of course everywhere, but it is Tiktok's main purpose and should be outlawed. |
It’s a tool of the Chinese state. Essentially since the US decided to abandon the education of Gen Z, the Chinese state stepped in to take advantage. |
Great to hear. Thanks. |
I’m gen x, not gen z. And when I was young, I didn’t know nearly as many dead young peers as every gen z person I know does. None of us did. No gen x kid could point to as many dead young peers as gen z does. That’s reflected in mortality statistics so don’t go out and pretend it’s not true so you can ignore the profound problems gen z faces that we never, ever saw. |
No. Beyond the first month or two when no one knew what was going on, schools remained open in Europe, Asia, and much of the world. And please don't equate "virtual" school with real school. Places like MCPS and DCPS were extremists. And it's cost an entire generation of kids dearly. Whether they were in kindergarten or in high school. I do not trust progressives with the common welfare. At all. They are ideological extremists who will very enthusiastically throw kids under the bus. Not to mention most of the country that doesn't fit into their "oppressed" narrative. Doesn't mean I care for Republicans. Think they're a##holes too. But I get the disdain for Democrats these days. |
I am a genXer but I didn’t see much critical thinking among my generation when masks and closures and vaccines were forced - yes forced- on us. Fwiw I am vaccinated so don’t call me an antivaxxer Anyway, it’s not clear which generation has any critical thinking skills I say most people just don’t |
Agreed. Very well said. And Gen Z sees this too. |
Maybe you should move to one of those conservative utopias you think are so much better. From someone who grew up in one of them, your contempt for liberals (and one narrow type of them) is really weird to watch. |
Oh, shut up. Biden is complicit in Israel’s killing tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians and he will deservedly pay a steep price in the election. It didn’t have to be this way, but he has demonstrated that he’s a senile old man and a puppet of a bunch of land-grabbing religious zealots. |
And what would Trump do differently? |
You are dreaming. Trump will get crushed. |
Nothing. But our votes cannot be bought by voting for the lesser evil. If you don’t listen to us begging you to stop the bombing of innocent children we will not vote for you and you will lose. That is not our fault. We will withhold our votes so that next time you take us seriously and actually take our grievances into account. |
