240. there are people here who blame millennials for Trump

When it is far from the truth. When you look at millennial voting patterns next to previous generations at the same age, they're pretty on par. And politicians don't exactly help themselves when they send younger voters mailers about protecting seniors. Politicians need to realize that millennials will not have it better off than their parents (one of the first generations) and that they have problems of their own to deal with such as student debt and housing unaffordability.

The people here could start by doing research before generalizing posts shitting on the younger generations. There is a group targeted at recruiting young candidates to run for local/state office in order to build a farm system. One of the posts about that group on this forum was accusing them of discrimination against the hallowed boomers. To me, that is the same as accusing EMILY's List of discriminating against men. This group (Run For Something) is filling a niche and getting younger people involved in politics because the older politicians don't pay attention to the issues that younger people face. EMILY did the same thing for women. For the most part, older generations didn't fear a gunman at their school, climate change, student debt, and housing unaffordability the way that younger people currently do. But it's cool for Boomers to shit on someone knee deep in debt for staying with their parents in order to pay down some of that debt. Yes the iPhone is the problem, not the rising cost of college.

I do consider the source when I see something online. I would consider this site to have a partisan lean to it and would take an objective news article with a grain of salt.
