(44,276 posts)Your hostility and 'othering' linguistic constructs towards younger voters, us Millennials and Gen Zers, doesn't face up like a Millennial (or the very end stage of Gen X, but I see now from search that you are a Millennial) as that is what you would be if you were 39yo or younger in 2016.
It threw me off.
I guess you just dislike your fellow Millennial cohorters as well as Gen Z. Or maybe you chop up the Millennial Gen and only dislike the last half or third.
Also, only the first 22 months born of Gen Z could even vote in 2016, a tiny sliver, so your blaming younger voters for 2016 means you were blaming Millennials for the most part.
I just do not get the dislike you (and more than a fair share of others here) seem to have for us.
This is (with some wonderful exceptions, I have met many extraordinary older folk here) not a very youth friendly board on far too many occasions.
I feel like I am carrying the weight of people my age or younger here on my back alone, or damn near, here at times.
That said, I am not even really a youth anymore, I turn 28 right before the election, and I deffo feel a slight but growing cultural gap with an 18yos or younger now, but certainly no ill will.
