+1000 LearnedHand Feb 3 #1

Young people are our way out of this mess poli-junkie Feb 3 #2

They are not going to be able to stop climate change Kaleva Feb 3 #27

Because older people are stopping them. Think. Again. Feb 3 #49

No, elections are stopping all of us. We were all younger when we Nixie Feb 3 #66

I've known at least 3 that were chased away in the last year. Think. Again. Feb 3 #98

I don't believe that. Chased away? Lol. yardwork Feb 3 #100

Yup, spoke with them individually over DU mail... Think. Again. Feb 3 #101

That's not being chased away, though. yardwork Feb 3 #103

What???? Is this the future???? LeftInTX Feb 3 #12

Watch the DNC one with 711k views already. NoonTimeRag Feb 3 #13

I'm sorry. Someone who goes for weeks without showering is not the future of a America! LeftInTX Feb 3 #14

This is one of the worst takes I've seen on DU. intheflow Feb 3 #62

The guy is an incel, loner, gamer, manosphere guy. LeftInTX Feb 3 #91

Oh, you posted something of substance instead of just calling him dirty. intheflow Feb 3 #96

I wouldn't say it's going down in flames yet The Wandering Harper Feb 3 #19

I don't believe our Party is JustAnotherGen Feb 4 #124

Yeah D.U. samplegirl Feb 3 #54

Do young people even post on message boards/forums any more? LudwigPastorius Feb 3 #5

I encountered a twenty-something member tonight The Wandering Harper Feb 3 #9

I'm sure they are the exceptions Jack Valentino Feb 3 #15

so what? The Wandering Harper Feb 3 #21

Most young people wouldn't want to come here JI7 Feb 3 #26

didn't you just say The Wandering Harper Feb 3 #32

there are millions of us younger folk on Reddit Celerity Feb 3 #47

There are some good subreddits there Tree Lady Feb 3 #110

Maybe a new Category for Change? missingm Feb 3 #8

That forum is called B.See Feb 3 #10

There is one iemanja Feb 3 #11

Most young people don't come to a place like this JI7 Feb 3 #16

See reply #9, and The Wandering Harper Feb 3 #17

If people are that offended then political forums JI7 Feb 3 #25

you sure seem offended by my OP The Wandering Harper Feb 3 #36

There are replies in OP threads broadbrushing Gen Zers as idiots, etc, and these are done with little to no delineation Celerity Feb 3 #45

I would add DeepWinter Feb 3 #65

It is true that I have seen Gen Z called "idiots" here, on occasion. electric_blue68 Feb 3 #115

The OP is concerned about driving young people off this site iemanja Feb 3 #23

Is it even an issue? Kaleva Feb 3 #28

It is an issue for young people, yes iemanja Feb 3 #30

How do we know it's an issue for young people here? Kaleva Feb 3 #31

Because they have responded to posts saying so iemanja Feb 3 #35

Younger people prefer social media. LeftInTX Feb 3 #37

Same with me Kaleva Feb 3 #70

It is a real problem here. I have posted on this subject (sometimes in depth) for years here. Celerity Feb 3 #48

How do you know it's an issue? Kaleva Feb 3 #71

If it's an issue for anyone who comes here in good faith The Wandering Harper Feb 3 #85

As long as I have been here there have been very few actively posting DU's near my age. Look at the 'what age group Celerity Feb 3 #94

I have noticed certain posts get up to say 250, 300, even a bit more. Not that many compared to.... electric_blue68 Feb 3 #114

I think one reason: DU is hard to use on a phone. At least it is for me! LeftInTX Feb 3 #95

When I look around NoonTimeRag Feb 3 #33

That's because young people prefer social media. They were raised with it. LeftInTX Feb 3 #38

I haven't had a working computer (vs a tablet, or smartphone) for about 3 yrs... So I've Only Posted on DU With my... electric_blue68 Feb 3 #113

Great OP. Think. Again. Feb 3 #51

It's ageism which is prejudice and bigotted. Age is an interesting clue, but is not determinative Bernardo de La Paz Feb 3 #52
