Maybe.

Millennials, zoomers and even gen alpha likely won't be much different. There's a difference between understanding how to use technology and understanding the intricacies of technology, understanding how to regulate or use different functions of it. The majority of boomers know how to use a modern phone. They don't know how to properly take care of the phone nor do they understand how it functions, but they know how to use it. A lot of younger people aren't much different.

I've heard people are starting to do this on TikTok as well. I think it says more about us a civilization than anything. This is a clear scarcity/enshittification issue. Everyone wants good value and good quality products. Unfortunately a lot of mom/pop shops that produce those products don't want to expand and if they do end up franchised capitalism's ever growing desire for increased gains ensures that the franchised products only become worse over time.

It's a clear shame to see capitalism pitting people against each other in this fashion.

We really haven't had a Presidential candidate with this caliber of speaking ability since Obama.

Pretty mainstream. When I was a kid most people struggled to learn how to laugh these things off. These days if you speak on any platform it's a good idea to have some mispronunciations because it catches peoples attention. Even if it's the only thing they'll talk about as long as you're good natured about it you've made progress.

I kept trying to articulate my reaction but this is about the best it gets. Oh humanity.

I feel that but society has been like that forever. Trust me, it used to be something that frustrated me excessively but I've just come to accept that even throughout history people are just shallow.

Maybe.

Walz really is the ideal politician but he might be rough around the edges after 8 years. He already looks a bit older than what he is and I don't consider his speaking to be quite as good as Harris's. It would preferential if we started looking towards building up younger politicians within the party with people like Walz providing support.

I like Joey for a lot of things, but his handling of Israel is not one of them. The words simply don't match the actions. They might decry Israel's actions but quietly they're giving them the go-ahead.

Don't count on it and don't get overconfident about this hurting their turnout. Regardless of whatever weird bickering there is between Republicans at the end of the day they'll always vote for their own.

If you truly care, that’s where you’ll direct that passion.

Here's a question: are you doing all of that yourself?

It just sounds to me like you're attempting to say that people shouldn't care or shouldn't be frustrated if they're not willing to spend every waking minute of their lives working towards change. And yes, while change does take time and effort, asking average citizens to go above and beyond doing their civic duty of voting is a bit much.

This genuinely sounds like usual Republican rhetoric of "if you cared so much it wouldn't be this way."

I'm aware. I already participate in those.

Doesn't change the fact that my vote regarding the highest office in the country is a pointless effort.

If only I lived in a swing state. Then my vote could have meaning and I could get paid for it.

Must be great to live in one of the seven states that's allowed to decide our election thanks to the electoral college.
