TikTok will be banned, not sold.

70. This thread stinks of ageism and entitlement

So......everyone born within a certain set of dates all think the same? "Gen Z" thinks this, "Gen X" thinks that, and "Boomers"? Do Boomers ever get credit for anything? Or just all the blame and derision.

So "young" people are willing to sacrifice not only their own bodily autonomy, but every generation that follows them? Totally cool with miscarrying women (by definition, their own generation) dying in gutters outside medical facilities because it's against the law for doctors to treat them? Or being thrown into prison for "allowing" themselves to miscarry? They okay with that? If they don't care about themselves, how about their daughters, granddaughters, sisters, friends, etc.

I'm getting a bit sick of this perpetual "informed young voters" attempted extortion: "If Democrats don't fix the climate crisis RIGHT NOW, I'm voting for someone who will destroy the world even faster! Ha ha!"

Then: "If President Biden doesn't end the war in Gaza RIGHT NOW, I'm voting for the guy whose own family members want nothing to do with him, and who have all publicly endorsed President Biden! That'll show him!"

Now: "If Democrats ban Tik Tok, I'm voting for the criminal traitor who wants to destroy my life, control my decisions, crown himself dictator, sell out the US to the highest bidding oligarch, shits all over everyone and will kill everyone who dares disagree or makes fun of him, deport everyone who isn't blond and blue eyed, OR maybe I just won't vote at all, OR maybe I'll write in Mickey Mouse! Screw future generations, because there won't be any! But I'm sure King Asshole will let me keep my precious app!"

Also. As a Democrat posting on a Democratic discussion board, I don't like the implication that Democrats are "letting democracy die," because Gen Z, or Millennials, or whatever label one chooses, wants what they want or else. Our elected Dems have been working their butts off fighting the MAGAt assholes who do NOTHING but destroy and obstruct (and then of course take credit for Dems' hard work) and continually waste time and taxpayer money putting on stupid puppet shows and porn peepshows on the House floor.

How "informed" is anyone who doesn't know that???
