I make my own status and I actually have to live here for another 50 or so years so I want my concerns and the concerns of my children heard right now, not after everybody else gets theirs.
People complaining and calling us lazy and being quite nasty about broad brushing my generation should expect to have it returned in kind. We own nobody nothing vote wise. If our vote are wanted by the party then they better get to cracking putting our stuff on the agenda, cause we are much worse off than you all were at our age, paywise, debt wise, and job security wise. And we are a big generation and we will have more and more of us turning 18 everyday.
Us older Millennials are setting the political compass up for our generation, want us with you? Listen to our concerns and give us a reason to come out for you. Otherwise, we will continue getting our stuff on the ballot and passing it while Democrats lose. And we will pass it. Like we just did.
We are tired of your police state. It was not us who got that going, but it is us who are the targets. So why are dems still drug warriors? To get the youth vote? The black vote? The hispanic vote?
We are tired of dems going along with conservative policies and telling us to shit up and vote for the people pushing the policies that hurt us. Just because the republicans will hurt us worse. I'm a rip the bandage off type myself. And its worse to be hurt by the person you voted for than the person you didn't.
