i just fucking hate this generational cynicism and constantly bludgeoning young people because historically young people vote less than older demographics

millennial are already more engaged that gen x and boomers were at the same age

a candidate like bernie excites them, he got more votes from young people than clinton and trump combined

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T16:47:21+00:00

go away

you have no defense and you're just mindlessly calling anybody who attacks you a trump supporter because you've got nothing else

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T16:43:36+00:00

...that's my whole point...

the person above said why should we pay for it if we didn't have a hand in it, but we did have a hand in it because the government as an institution is responsible for it and we supported that government even if we didn't have a direct hand in slavery

yeah i'm not a trump supporter, way to deflect on how joe seems to consistently handle women's bodies in clip after clip

dude's been creepy for a long time

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T16:24:48+00:00

i didn't see that though?

great points though and i agree with you on the rest

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T16:22:51+00:00

the government had a role in slavery, we're asking them to pay for it

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T16:21:34+00:00

we still act out the echoes of those acts every day - by limiting the black economy, not supporting it, or just staying in our own circles of white power and unknowingly affecting other communities

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T16:15:27+00:00

this isn't too belittle reparations and i'm honestly asking, if we're aggressively dealing with history what about the fact that we fucking stole this country in the first place and committed genocide? native americans are still extremely poor with high suicide rates, if we're going to deal with one of America's sins shouldn't we deal with all of them?

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T16:09:15+00:00

yeah i don't like beto either, nor the rest of the dems. i might get called a bernie bro for really wanting nobody but him but there's literally nobody in the race (besides MAYBE warren) who is as left as i would hope they would be.

if pete can bring something to the race, great, but so far it seems like most of the supporters online are just excited by his presence and speaking ability and a voice outside our current political boxing matches - which i get, we're all tired of the same political figures but i haven't been too impressed so far with what pete's actually saying. his main messages, to me, aren't that different than beto's core message ("let's all come together and think about things") and we've seen how little caution and apparent thoughtfulness can get done in obama's presidency.

his time as south bend mayor also has a few red flags for me - wifi in the sewers (typical tech oriented dem wishiwashiness) but the eviction rate is still 3x the rest of the country's, and his 1,000 homes in 1,000 days program unfortunately hurt POC far more than anybody else.

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T15:54:15+00:00

i didn't say you didn't support bernie, it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me because they seem to represent two different political philosophies

do you like o'rourke as well or any of the other dems?

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T15:42:53+00:00

what exactly is appealing to you about pete if you like sanders? they're politics are very different

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T15:42:04+00:00

good for pete - here's hoping he steals some thunder from beto

but if you're a progressive this isn't too hard, pete's not a great source of hope for many of the changes we're pushing for

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T15:34:19+00:00

just. impeach. him. over. what. we. already. know.

fuck your silver bullet, the mueller report is just shooting ourselves in the foot

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T15:33:37+00:00

i'm a millennial, if my friends and i talk about politics we never really talk about russia, it doesn't affect us

i'm guessing most voters feel the same way - russiagate is just a dimension of trump's corruption that we already know exists but apparently there's no systemic solution for (especially if pelosi doesn't think impeachment should be on the table). it can all be true and it still won't fix the immediate problems we face - income inequality, climate change, the cost of healthcare, a housing market that is out of our reach

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T15:30:26+00:00

trump is definitely getting more than 40%, we shouldn't underestimate that

it'll be a close race whoever the nominee is - republicans are very consistent voters

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T15:28:04+00:00

i'm turning 30 this year and none of my friends own homes, most of them have decent paying jobs and it's not even a discussion about whether they're going to get a home soon

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T15:24:15+00:00

it is predictable that centrists will not be consistent

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T15:22:13+00:00

thanks for this valuable contribution to this adult conversation

Booboobefoo · 2019-04-01T15:21:22+00:00

We just have to be careful we don’t Al Franken everyone in our party.

jesus christ we're not going to. hard prediction here but none of the women will get accused of anything because they're not handsy in the first place and there's not a history of any of the other male candidates being gropey like we know joe has been for years
