I truly feel really bad for this younger generation. I think this is in the global consciousness of our youth worldwide and I regret that they are inheriting a poisoned world. As if slave wages weren't enough reason alone to not have any children.
I am truly sorry for my part in this.

Then you lil fuckers need to get out and vote.
It's always amazed me that young voters tend to be the most unreliable voting bloc. I was a young, early-20s idealist, and I made sure to go out and vote. Hopefully they step it up this November.
They won't, there's nobody to inspire them like Bernie, just pro-fracking, genocide-sponsoring Democrats and even worse Republicans.
And that's the problem. Why do they need someone to inspire them when they should also be interested and invested in their own future? Can't say the same thing is happening in my country, generally even the most politically apathetic person at this age range (me included) understands the importance of it but somehow this seems like a wild idea in the US?
And that's the problem.
I agree, it's a very serious problem that the Democrats continue to push policy that is unpopular with young folks.
Why do they need someone to inspire them
Because elections are popularity contests.
they should also be interested and invested in their own future
They very clearly are, but there aren't any American political parties that are invested in their future. Just ones that pretend to cater to them while selling them out to the oil and weapons industries.
somehow this seems like a wild idea in the US?
Yeah, it sucks. Any time you start talking about making the future suck less, Republicans start calling you a commie socialist and Democrats kick you out of the group chat.
Or even worse, people like you who do everything they can to disparage the only party that might possibly do something good...
You think you're being sly, but it's just cringe.
If talking about Democrat policies is disparaging to the party then I don't know how I'm supposed to explain why the young folks aren't excited to vote without disparaging the party. XD
Choosing between shit and a shit sandwich, it's fine to point out one has carbs but it's dishonest to pretend you're excited to eat a shit sandwich
Yeah that's not what's happening here...
Then either you think that young people will be turning out in droves this election or that some other reason is why they aren't excited to vote.
