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

You guys would’ve been the ones screeching about Obama wearing a tan suit in the day, seriously cut it out and stop wallowing all the time.

This generation has done more than thinking for themselves. They have to put up with a lot of shit.

Like, less than a week ago, if you told the average young progressive voter that Kamala’s the next president they’d jump into a vat of hot oil while screaming “Cop!” And now she has memes all over Twitter about how amazing she is?!

Yes, America can’t wait to have celebrities once again tell them what to believe and who to vote for. Honestly, I think those types of events are a negative.
Guess JD Vance should have restrained himself from saying childless women don’t have a stake in our democracy…

Other side does it too, their “celebrities” are just super lame.
Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt off?
No, no, they have this guy:
He's a ... uh... I don't know... I was going to say a choice, but jesus hell...
Yes, that was awful but I have full confidence that the DNC will be far superior in its cheesiness - it never disappoints.
