An open letter from a "millennial"


I don't like the term millennial. it creates too many ideas of self absorbed kids with vanity on their minds to me.

but lately I've been learning that stereotype is a damn lie and being born I'm 1988 qualifies me as a millennial.

anyways, I wanted to let everyone know about the general mentality and attitude that many Bernie supporting millennials have about this election. But I'll say it from my point of view, as I can't speak for everyone.

I'm 27, always thought of myself as an independent, and I only registered as a democrat to vote for Bernie.

If this doesn't work out, then I think I'll just screw off and let all the assholes have their establishment.

if Hillary wins then it will literally be more of the same. it will confirm the fear that I used to have before Bernie inspired me. if my fear is confirmed, it may be irreparable damage. and I don't doubt millions of others in my generation feel the same.

I keep saying i'll vote Hillary if she wins because its better than nothing... but voting the lesser of two evils is what kept me the **** out if politics and sometimes I think I'll be damned before I play the establishments game. I get so angry thinking about it that I imagine just sitting home on election day and letting the world burn.

but I know I shouldn't. realistically, I'll probably bitch and moan my way to the polls, begrudgingly vote for Hillary and then throw in the towel until another Bernie dares to try again.

if Bernie wins though... my spirit will be so encouraged and elated that a true underdog won, that I would be so vindicated in my optimism that I'll become more politically active than ever before.

but if the establishment wants to control information and power to their whim and step on the aspirations of me and my generation then you know what? **** it. it'll turn out we ARE all just citizens that should do what we're supposed to. work and serve. whether or not my generation will vote for Hillary, I can't speak for everyone.

but I can guarantee that many will sit home on that day. :/

Oh i'm so scared.

An open letter from a "millennial"

The title is so cringe worthy, and damn near vomit inducing   :puke:

The rest of the post is pathetic.

Here's an answer from another one of your elders:  You don't have a ****ing clue.  I hope you can reflect on your post(s) in 15 - 20 years and realize what a pathetic drag on society you really were (or still likely are)

Sorry Bernouts.

The Dem nom belongs to Hillary, unless Biden jumps in.

And frankly, I can't wait to see the massive depressed turnout for young Dem voters a Bernie loss will bring.

If you decide to stick with the democrat party, then you had better get used to it kid.  The democrat party doesn't think of people as individuals, it thinks of them only as members of groups and all of those groups get labels.  It's too much work to pander to people on an individual basis.

Identity politics are political arguments that focus upon the interest and perspectives of groups with which people identify. Identity politics includes the ways in which people's politics may be shaped by aspects of their identity through loosely correlated social organizations. Examples include social organizations based on race, class, religion, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, ideology, nation, sexual orientation, culture, information preference, history, musical or literary preference, medical conditions, professions or hobbies. Not all members of any given group are necessarily involved in identity politics.

The term identity politics and movements linked to it came into being during the latter part of the 20th century. It can most notably be found in class movements, feminist movements, gay, lesbian and bisexual movements, disability movements, ethnic movements and post colonial movements. Identity politics is open to wide debate and critique.[1] Minority influence is a central component of identity politics. Minority influence is a form of social influence whereby a majority is influenced by the beliefs or behavior of a minority. Unlike other forms of influence this usually involves a personal shift in private opinion[citation needed]. This personal shift in opinion is called conversion

By 27, at the latest, the first inklings of realization should be dawning.  Nah, this one's running headlong into the latter category.

Stop being self absorbed and narcissistic!
Stop feeling so entitled!

There are some Gen X writers that skillfully encapsulate the malaise and general negativeness of the early 90s recession and lack of opportunities.  I'm glad I'm past that, but looking back invokes a strange sort of nostalgia for when shit sucked and there weren't any jobs.

My 3 kids were all born in the 1980s, the youngest a year older than this twerp. 2/3 my 3 are employed full-time, one while taking college classes to advance her career. The other is working part-time while attending university in China, learning Mandarin. They would cringe at this rambling, pointless, bit of self-absorption!

MY 28-year old millennial is voting for Trump and he's got TWO full time jobs in health care (EMT for AZ Ambulance and TMC ER EMT), and all with a GED, some Marine Corps time and a whole ****ing lot more self-respect than you, you grasping little dickwad.  You will probably be the burden he drags along throughout his entire working life, especially if your Saint Burnie wins.

No doubt they are conservative and can't stand liberals, because they're smart enough to know there's no such thing as a free ride, except for those who are entitled to one by the likes of Obama and, God help us if he ends up president, Bernie Sanders.  Your daughters realize that if things don't change soon, they'll be among their generation hauling useless liberal voters around for the rest of their working lives.
