Seriously. Whenever you bring up young voters, people carry Harris’s opinions that “young people are stupid.” Pretty much all of their wanted policies are not going to be on the ticket for another 30 or 40 years. They also are the most hated part of the Democratic Party for being “woke.” And add some serious mental health issues, and you got a group of people desperate for some political attention

You’d have mental health issues too if your childhood was Columbine, 9/11, wars , school shooting drills, and adulthood was college debt being the first mortgage they have fresh out of school at 22.

It’s a miracle that generation isn’t storming the Capitol every day to be quite honest

NP. Yeah, that’s so much worse than the Vietnam war, imminent threat of nuclear war, Kent State, stagflation, etc. Or the Korean War, or WW2. 🙄

I do not understand why the victim complex is so strong in this generation. Every generation had serious battles they face.

I’m not part of the generations that grew up with any of the above, before you predictably lash out with your ageist response.

Was that the same generation on acid and still able to find great paying jobs and save for retirement, travel , pay off minimal college loans, and support a family ? Oh yeah, they sure had it rough

You seem pretty ignorant. Or at least only see history through the eyes of rich white kids.

I’m kinda scared that she’s pulling a lot of pop culture moves like HRC. She’s not as “smooth” as Obama, and people hyper criticize women as incompetent for trying to seem relatable

The whole “BRAT” thing is beyond embarrassing and pandering.

It really really annoyed me, and then I realized if I was 20 and scrolling on Twitter that a presidential candidate is casually boosting Charli XCX, I’d be pretty f-ing ecstatic to see someone who sorta gets it. I bet her young interns suggested it

It’s not ok. It’s as the kids say, super cringe .

You don’t want to see people your parents age using the new lingo and TikTok verbiage . It’s very cringe . Calling yourself a brat at 60 years old is super super embarrassing

Do you know any young people? I work with them everyday as a professor. They’re eating this up. We’re just old and sick of politicians not acting, you know, political.

Kids are smart and know when they’re being pandered to. If you started a lecture calling yourself a brat like Charli XCX, they’d laugh at you .

I dare you to try and see if you’re taken seriously by them .

Tulsi Gabbard was right. Kamala doesn’t know how to be herself in a campaign because she doesn’t know who she is and what she stands for . She’s an empty pantssuit with a nervous belly laugh and happy smile

I don’t really need to test trial my hipness. I’m not claiming Kamala to be Obama, but my students really like Obama (they make jokes about him bombing people which are out of pocket but they like him), because they like his cool dad energy and Spotify playlists of the year. For black students, she reminds them of their “aunties”- really any older person in the family who’s fun to be around. For my other students, they used to hate her for the constant laughing, but now they have taken her so unseriously that they genuinely like her. One of my students commented that she gives them “Leslie Knope energy, vibes…”

Growing up during an Obama-trump transition must make politics feel like one massive joke.

Obama had depth to counter his levity . He was a great orator . Could make fun of himself in the same way W Bush could.

Good comedic timing. Personable . I knew Barack’s whole life story when he made that stellar 2004 DNC speech/one of the best political star making speeches in history . Republicans even give him that. And he wrote that speech himself. Does the DNC on running a keynote speaker this year that has the same future promise to be the next one in charge?

He also ran on a message of hope and barely mentioned Bush or antagonized him by name something Bush really appreciated.

I can’t say Kamala has that same charm. She comes off as super antagonistic perhaps due to her trial lawyer days . Hillary had the same problem . If she continues to just talk about Donald Trump for most of her speeches , she will lose

She does not come off as antagonistic. Give me a break. She is always smiling. I liked Obama but he often came off as stiff.and low energy and his voice was very flat. If anything, she needs to tone down the exuberance. Her off-the-cuff remarks were she laughs too much make her look unserious and can be cringeworthy. I'm hoping she will get coaching to stop that. But overall she has positive energy and seems like she is a happy person. All that matters is how that contrasts with Trump. He is like a raging Rumpelstilskin figure at this point so she's got an advantage there.

I disagree, I ended up really appreciating Obama. He could joke when it was appropriate but then when he was serious he was captivating.

I need to watch more of Kamala to come to a conclusion about that aspect of her, but she seems like a relatively nice person who can be fun.

I just don’t like her policies. Or at least the policies she had in 2020. She needs to come out being much more restrictive on immigration. Just basing off of her 2020 stance… nope. Not going to vote for her.

If she switches things up on that then maybe. I mean there’s two main reasons I’m not a Democrat anymore and the biggest one is immigration. If they get more Trumpy on immigration but keep everything else I’d be as enthusiastic as I was when I walked myself to my local precinct to caucus for Bernie in 2016.

Harris does not show the same level of confidence as O did. But she has grown in last four years, she didn't have the same level of experience and energy in 2020.

So no examples? Tell us of your many “hardships.”

I don’t know. I’m a millennial, I’ve heard enough about generation to generation complaints. The way my parents talk, you would’ve thought they went through world war 1 and 2 and somehow conjured up a 3rd one to scare themselves even worse. In reality, they were upper middle class, graduated from ivies, and lived very romantic lives. I experienced them refusing to pay for college, got my full ride, and live life normally, no reason to talk about all the political woes of my time- it didn’t really effect me.

I’m so excited for the future when gen x craps on gen alpha and whatever else they create about how they survived the Insurrection and COVID! They’ll talk about it in the way other generations talk about wars they never participated in!

Is Kent state really that big of a deal? Boomers grew up pretty damn well. Id take their spot over the tech era where not many young people can truly connect, their emotions are honestly a mess from their electronic addictions, they will never own a home, and they’re increasingly having to delay all passions for the realities of economics. We don’t have to compare every generation to the Greatest generation.

OMG.

Wait, you conveniently left out fighting in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. JFC.

OMG.

We had people on this thread wishing for Gaza supporters to get shot not too long ago. Is the amnesia hitting or have we stopped the clown show? Luckily it'll be back in a month or so when the college students are back in school.

That a majority did not ever get close to fighting in. Can we stop the war theatre now? A majority of the people on this thread are college educated, oh my god.

Yes, I for one have always wanted a “Leslie Knope” president.

You live in America. You’ve always had a Leslie Knope president no matter what you wanted. Politicians are just friends you’d drink beer with. It’s been that way for a while.

What on earth…?

We’re just gonna pretend like Reagan wasn’t elected cause he made us feel good and was kinda hot and made good tough on crime messages?

Again… wtf?

It's actually frustrating to engage with someone who will not speak.

🤔 WWII and Korea were fought by Greatest Generation, Vietnam by the Boomers. Why are you smashing these two generations together?

Now that everyone has talked about varying generational traumas, I am stoked to see how excited so many people are (across a variety of ages).
