Reuters-Ipsos poll: Democrats losing support of millennials
- Thread starter Stellar
- Start date
Something I will gladly pay when the times comes after my studying is done and I have a job. Im pro high tax.
Seems like people actually misunderstood my post. A lot of people are first and foremost looking out for themself and their families, that was a general comment, not directed at me.
What I meant with not owing my neighbour anything, he didn't do anything for me that makes me owe him one, but I will help the neighbours when they need help.
Because as I just stated, while I agree with most of their policies (in all likelihood i'll vote democrat for minor candidates if the other options aren't great) the Democratic party has several issues in regards to how the organization is run. I detest the idea that they pick a favorite candidate and run ads and support them even before the primaries have selected a candidate. It seems counter to a fully democratic process.
This is the whole problem.
I'll just put it one simple question: where are people going due to their job losses via automation? They're going to the party that doesn't believe automation exists.
By all means, be a fuckin' moron and fall for the empty cons. It may take the whole country down, because Americans are fucking stupid people. Empty responses of neonationalism predicate on all of the problems of neoliberalism, and for people to be dumb enough to still believe Donald Trump, the largest con man in current world history, is for the "little guy" is a position worthy of causing a stroke.
Not suprising. Economy is doing good, tax cuts is putting money into pockets and democrat message has been mostly "We're not Trump" from what i've seen.
You can see the problem in this very thread. Instead of trying to convince someone to vote democrat he gets insulted for not voting.

The Republican party isn't "conservative" though. They employ radical policies that have tumultuous and disruptive direct effects on the average person. Party of small government, softly-softly, fiscal conservatism, etc. they ain't.
User Warned: Wishing harm and hardship on others
I just want automation to violently hit America in the face and send millions to the unemployment lines. Fuck people and fuck mankind; let's just dedicate everything we have to rushing forward with AI and see where it takes us.
White (almost clear) millenial guy here. I'm going hard and fast to the voting booth in midterms to vote in every democrat on the ticket. You could nominate a sea sponge and I would enthusiastically vote for it over the republican. Sovereignty from foreign powers (Russia) comes first and foremost.
More people should be independent. Not just in your affiliation but in your actual approach to candidates/policy.
The misanthropic extension of hyper technocratic capitalism is always fun to see.
Old people: These are the available candidates. I'm going to vote for who I like best
Millenials: This candidate isn't inspiring enough and I don't fully support them on the details of some issues. Fuck them! Fuck the system! I'm abstaining/voting third party. That'll teach them!
What exactly does being independent do in the US?
This is my takeaway. Milennials are getting older and realizing that they're kind of screwed. I'd imagine its a lot easier to get wrapped up in the party that gives you empty but hopeful answers. It's probably even easier when you're a white dude who isn't being regularly target by that party.
getting older? This is 18-34 bracket which is basically the age you are starting to vote and least conservative. This isn't 40+ this is the young people.
Quite alarming
I'm a techno-socialist. The automation of every aspect of human life was always the true endgame of Marxism. If people won't learn, an AI powerful enough to take control away from the ruling class is the only way to avoid bloodshed after the rise of automation.
Gives you a superiority complex and a false sense of believing you're affecting the system, when in reality you're just helping one of the existing parties get a leg up on the other
There's actual growth in GOP support among young white men. (to no one's surprise)
The party backing and supporting a candidate in a primary does not preclude democratic participation. And it's not always a guarantee of success for that candidate either. We've seen House candidates, as different as Dan Lipinski to Laura Moser, win primaries this year despite the DCCC either not endorsing them or outright opposing them.
An automatic vote for the greater of two evils. Nice.
I'm a millennial voter in America, and while I hesitate to align with any particular party I will always vote for who I believe is the lesser of the two evils. I don't need some idealistic god/dess that represents perfectly how I view the world. Because that just won't ever happen.
In 2020 I will vote for whoever is not Donald Trump. I expect that, when push comes to shove, many other millenials will do the same.
Stop being an apathetic part of the problem.
In a lot of states, it means that you can't vote in the primary elections.
YES
THEY
DID
its called taxes. again.
something you apparently dont pay so its no suprise you dont understand how they work
The gap between Clinton and Trump by gender was 54 to 41. While there is a gap, I do not know if I would call it huge. The racial gap was bigger, at 37 to 58. And the Alabama exits polls showed Moore winning white women. While the Democratic party does have the backing of women, white women still vote for Republicans in droves.
It's not practical and doesn't really end up mattering in the grand scheme of things because the majority of independents vote for one party consistently.
You think you're being impartial - and you might even be! - but you're not saying much of anything.
I guess I can see white people being dragged into trumpism by other white people, whereas the reverse isn't going to happen because they can't be reasoned with. Basically you can convince dumb people to the wrong side but once they are there it's basically impossible to bring them back.
So after I pay taxes I should feel like people owes me help/something?
That's one obvious observation there. The writing was on the wall when they stopped giving a shit about actual policies and started demonizing anyone who did. Younger people are not idiots or subscribe to corp media to get all their information in general, so establishment types will naturally fall by the wayside.
Lets you be a Republican without all the social baggage that might come with it.
they owe you what the taxes are spent on. they are spent on you.
Maybe people are trying to distance themselves from this type of political opinion lol
Oh, i'd beg to disagree if the sentiment is 'i wont vote'. Not voting won't stop "the man" from fucking your ass up.
Who is the economy doing good for when most cannot afford a sudden $500 expense? The surprising thing is to be so daft to assume the bolded is anything truthful.
These empty talking points are best left to dipshit pundits who want to defend God Emperor Trump. They absolutely do not belong in the space of talking about the real economic climate, because if one tries to do so, they're not even on a pulse.
Why oh why is the economy doing so well that people are holding back on spending because of the tax cuts? Spending is down because people are saving money, likely knowing the little nuggets they get will have to be spent in something being gutted for those breadcrumbs in the first place.
Shit on the Democrats for not having a comprehensive vision and narrative, but by all regards, don't fall for the Republicans whos narrative can't even work in a parallel universe. Just consider the GOP's stance is that climate change isn't an issue and automation will not impact the economy until the 2060s and is the same party wanting to put work requirements on services during a period of precarity and an opioid crisis. If you believe any of these positions is smart or sensible, I would share words that would clearly get me banned from this forum, because I have no patience for that level of stupidity, especially when the lives of other people will suffer by those empty positions.
Be very careful for what you wish for. It's not moving us forward; if anything, people are becoming more open to empty neonationalistic feel good bullshit.
I don't think the Dems in power have much of an incentive to do better when they know that they'll keep getting votes just because they aren't republicans. The two party system sucks, but it remains advantageous for both of the established parties. I want the Dems to do better and move away from the right and to the left. I don't want them to even consider letting anti-choice candidates run. I want the Dems to embrace and express radical ideas that turns out their base.
Democrats fucking suck. Yes, they are no Republican party, which is just a fucking tire fire nightmare disaster. But running on "Hey we aren't as bad as the other guys!" isn't a great way to run a party. You would think they would learn something from the energy Sanders had, but no. Centrist corporatists until the end days it looks like. This country needs a real leftist party.
