[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GEN Z will save America.

Most  of us will be voting for  President for first time in November 2024.    In 2022, we all showed up and saved you all and Dems kept the Senate, and only lose a few seats in the house, but now we want action.  WE want REAL GUN CONTROL.  We don't our kids to have go to though the same lockdowns and fears of a school shooting we had too.

We want college loan reforms.
We want living wage and want to buy a house one day.  
We know it won't be done with soon, but we want it to be a work in process, meet us halfway please.  [/quote]We get it; you want socialism.  Hard pass.[/quote]

And this is why Republicans are having a really difficult time making inroads with Millennials and Gen Z. Higher ed reform, minimum wage increases, and housing reform are now "socialism" to braindead GOPers.[/quote]

The thing is. We've had close to 40 years of unfettered free market capitalism and it's been a pretty raw deal for a lot of Americans, especially the next generation. You have massive inequality, housing/healthcare/education unaffordability, lack of opportunity without advanced education, gun violence, and climate change. I mean, if unfettered free market capitalism is so good, then why does it feel so crappy for them? Socialism (you know, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, just about everything in the GI Bills and the military gets, plus universal healthcare and affordable education) starts to look pretty good. And taxing the Elon Musks of the world looks even better to do it.[/quote]

Just put some dang guardrails on capitalism. It worked in the 1950s, though of course not everyone was allowed to participate equally then. But it’s obviously a raw deal for many and not because they don’t want to work or whatever is the canned right wing phrase of the day.[/quote]
