As the mother of a millennial and a boomer myself..

[Peacetrain]

My son and I have noticed one thing.. locally.. it has not been the millennials who are going for Johnson or Stein..but the X'ers..

1. Doesn't matter who does it, they're idiots, just like Johnson seemingly.

2. I saw that Johnson interview on Tweety..

and my jaw hit the floor.. I actually felt sorry for Weld.. he hooked his star to a looney tune..just like a bunch of the Trump people did and are doing.. and they will go down in flames rather than admit they were wrong..

3. Exactly!

I have a millennial daughter and nephew. They aren't voting 3rd party, either. It's weird how almost all generations are picking on them. I've been around a lot of millennials - they seem to have their heads screwed on right. Just all around great kids with great priorities who happened to have been given the short end of the stick by prior generations who were given so much and then pulled the rug in behind them.

4. I am having the very same experience!

Many were very passionate Bernie supporters..but among the millennials I know.. not one.. not a single one is going third party..but a number of the X'ers I know decided to go third party.. now after that Johnson debacle last night, I do not know where they stand.. that might have changed things around big time

5. this millenial bernie supporter

Also sees the third party candidates as tripe.

6. Not been my experience for sure

All I can do is speak to what I know on an empirical level locally..

7. This generation of millennials knows BS when they see it.

9. Locally it is for me.. it seems to be the same group

that voted for Nadar when they were 30 somethings.. Again it might be just my local experience..

11. Voted for Gore in 2000.

8. Not this Gen Xer.

[Peacetrain]

10. It is my local experience.. and most X'ers I know are not going third party..

But the only third party people we know personally are X'ers.. its different from what we are seeing on TV

12. Same here

but I am barely an Xer. I was born at the end of the seventies, so I'm in a weird zone in terms of generations, but I think I'm typically classified as Gen X and I've always felt more Gen X being into Nirvana in high school and all. I just looked it up and my oldest child is early 2000s and sometimes that is classified as Millennial just as the late 70's are also sometimes classified as Millennials. I'd like to think I'm not in the same generation as my son. I'm 23 years older than him. They don't seem to have very clear definitions on Gen X or Millennial. I don't know what the deal is with that. So I'm not sure if I'm important because I'm Millennial or not important because I am Gen X... because we all know Gen X doesn't matter at all right? That is what the media seems to say. And if my oldest son is a Millennial then there are still a few of them that are not even old enough to vote or even drive a car yet.
