This coming presidential election will be the first ever where the entire Millennial generation can vote.

Some will say that it was 2020, but that depends on where you draw the line between Millennials and Gen Z, and what time of the year when the Millennials were born. For example, if you were born in late November 2002, you were not able to vote in the last presidential election.

1. I only hope that we, as Democrats, are doing all we can...

...to make them feel heard, cared about, and welcome.

3. LOL No one made me feel "cared about" as I ran to the polls to vote against...

Ronnie Raygun, but I guess times have changed.

2. Great.

Some of them have never heard of WWII and can't define Nazi. Some won't vote unless promised free tattoos. We're counting on them for volume. I hope we understand them better than they understand us.

5. And they were raised by the generation that thinks not wanting to die for billionaires is "socialism"

Hopefully they will reject that thinking.

6. Ahem. I have two millennial kids and I'm a lifelong Democrat.

7. Most put 1996 as the last year that Millennials were born in.

I tried to convince my niece and nephew (1997 and 1999) that they were Millennials (on the grounds that they were under 18 when the millennium happened) and they were outraged - they see themselves definitely as Gen Z, on the grounds that they were too young to remember the millennium happening.

2002 is the latest I've ever seem claimed for a Millennial. Using the usual 1996 definition, this is their 3rd presidential election.

11. That's one definition. Every 18 years is another generation.

Boomers 1946 to 1964
GenX 1965 to 1983
Millennials 1984 to 2002
GenZ 2003 to 2021

12. That's every 19, not every 18

If you start Boomers at 1946 (very justifiable, I'd say - the only real point with something based in an actual change), 18 years would make Millennials 1982 to 1999. Making 2020 the first all-Millennials election.

8. Interesting stat, but IMO overshadowed by a much more significant one:

In 2024, there will be 16 million more Gen Z’s eligible to vote, who weren’t eligible in 2020.

10. I'm an older millennial and my first election was the 2004 Kerry/Bush contest.

I was depressed for weeks when Bush won. I thought the country was going to fall apart. Little did I know the horror that would come a dozen years later.
