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)
One more thing retro........ :bird:

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.

Open letter from Ralph Wiggum.
Learn how to start sentences with a capital letter. Spineless & worthless millennial.

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

I would not hold your breath in regards to this dummie realizing what a worthless idiot he/she/it really is in x number of years. Dummies are, for the most part, lifetime losers. The ones that aren't lifetime losers usually OD on street meds before they have a chance to live a lifetime. :cheersmate:

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

Well, let's see why Millenials get a bad name.
Stop being self absorbed and narcissistic!
Stop feeling so entitled!

As different as it was, the media lamented about Gen X too.

As different as it was, the media lamented about Gen X too.
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!

"Letting the world burn" would be voting for bern-out and him winning.
Just sit home.

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.
Grow the **** up and quit shitting on other people's lawns.

I have two millennial daughters who are both solidly conservative. I don't know who they're supporting but neither one can stand liberals.

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.

Yeah, how weird are these artificial designators? I've got a Gen X daughter, although she's a mere 2 years older than her millennial brother. :p That's some stupid socialist spewing bullshit right there. At least my husband and I raised both kids to respect the law, work and pay taxes, and in general drag society's dregs and burdens (DU progeny types are the example par excellence) along in their shining, achieving wakes much as the snail drags slime behind itself. Or, much as my dogs drag their itchy asses along the floor in a vain attempt to rid themselves of extraneous shit...
IF our beloved America is to survive this century, she's gonna need a mega ton of good kids like yours and mine! :cheersmate:

Suck a wet shiny turd out of my asshole. What you going to do about it? Let me guess whine to a board of fat lazy bald losers that only whine.
I get so angry thinking about it that I imagine just sitting home on election day and letting the world burn.
I'm for letting it burn but I hunt, know how to fix about anything, and am fully self sufficient. If this did happen, you will be dead in two weeks. I know I would not help other than putting a bullet in you and taking any supplies (probably none).
The whiny screed does nothing but prove our point.

- Millenials: Children of Gen X and older Gen Y. Inventors of "selfie" and megalomania using social networking. Self-indulging slackers.

An open letter from a "millennial"
Sadly, you are a lost generation which is proved by the fact that you are supporting Bernie.
This article sums up your generation perfectly, although it doesn't apply to all millennials, based on your 'open letter' it certainly applies to you:
The Movies That Define Each Generation (http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2015/09/16/movies-define-generation/)
Spoiler quote box:
So, what movie do I think represents Millennials? Well, it has to be one that values inclusion above all else, shirks responsibility, values personal choices above the safety of others, and has the emotional range of a maudlin teenager. So, the Twilight series. It makes sense – Millennials have exchanged the vampire coffins for the hip tiny houses and smart cars.

Kewl story bro. But I confess the pictures are really what make it work. Never will forget a friend putting a can of motor medic in the old Studebaker out front the soda fountain in the middle of the village. Cranked it over and produced an incredible 'smoke show'. Wicked awesome. People were talking about it for months there after. Fix it? Nope. Pretty much the same story, just increased oil consumption. :rofl: :rofl:

When I was 27, it was 1990, and things were looking good. The Berlin Wall had come down, the Soviet Union was breaking up, I had a decent job and had just bought a house. Then 2 years later, Clinton the First was "elected" king and everything (body) was effed again.
My "millenial" (20) says people his age only care about abortion (legal) and pot (legal) -- he doesn't speak politics to any of them, no point.

You know what, jukin, not killing babies is important enough that I am willing to trade no baby killings/abortion for legalized pot. I will be 57 in a few months so I remember the time no one I knew, besides myself and I'm not kidding, didn't smoke pot. Most of them grew out of it. Unfortunately, dead babies never get a chance to grow up. So, if your son's friends would be willing to stop all abortion that couldn't be proven to save a mom's life then I would be willing to grow the pot for all of their asses.
Obviously all of this is pure fantasy since neither I nor your son or any of us have any power over policy, and the politicians on both sides of the aisle play us for fools against one another. But I do know that until the US government decided to make pot illegal in the 1930's, when it used to grow everywhere, people had been smoking it forever. Our founding fathers grew the marijuana plant, for hemp to make ropes for ships ostensibly, but it's hard to believe none of them ever smoked it. OTOH, none of them would have EVER considered killing a baby for the crime of being "unwanted" by its mom or dad.
I was living in a little German farming town called Machtolsheim when the Wall came down in 1989; we just knew it meant an end to the decades long Cold War. Ha! Nothing changes. The next year my husband was in Desert Storm. I wished then, and still wish, that it were possible to wash our hands of the entire damn region. We could be energy independent in this country save for the crazy environmentalist wackjobs who opposite the pipeline AND every Dem who campaigns on preserving all our lands for such important critters as bugs and fish. :sarcasm: I notice they never bother to consider any environmental havoc they might end up wreaking on the oil regions who drill, frack and whatever. I was almost 31 when the Wall came down and I can assure you the very last thing I'd have expected would be to go into 2016 with Russia ascendant and the USA on her back, thanks to their leadership. Or in Obama's case, his craven retreat from the world.
