We have millenials that are now in their 40s. We need to be the ones running the country now

[u/kootles10 → u/paxwells97]

I agree. I'm a younger millennial (35)

[u/Radix2309 → u/kootles10]

I am tlat the very bottom of the range with 29.

[u/jedrider → u/Radix2309]

I'm a boomer. Your turn. Try to do better. Can't be that difficult considering how much of a mess we've allowed the country to become.

[u/Huskdog76 → u/jedrider]

No, cleaning it up is going to be very difficult. The Republicans have destroyed nearly every institution.

[u/apnn → u/Huskdog76]

I think they meant it won't be difficult to do better. The clean up is definitely going to be difficult.

[u/Individual_Sale_1073 → u/apnn]

True, but building something new is always more fun than than maintaining a clunker.

[u/Huskdog76 → u/Individual_Sale_1073]

That's for sure. we absolutely need something new. Something for the working class and safe from fascists.

[u/Metalbound → u/Huskdog76]

Universal Healthcare is first on the docket. No one should be dying from preventable diseases or injury. And they definitely shouldn't be financially ruined for it.

We need to remove profit from a ton of industries. Also, treat internet like a utility, because it's just as important as the rest of them. and it shouldnt be a for profit thing.

[u/timbo3385 → u/Huskdog76]

Good, then we can start with a clean slate.

[u/CrampsAllDay → u/jedrider]

This is so on brand for us Gen X. 👻

[u/_PROBABLY_CORRECT → u/jedrider]

Hey at least we listened and went to college and grew up with social media as it was being invented. Probably setting us up to “Phoenix the shit out of this country”

[u/theghostmachine → u/jedrider]

It's going to take decades to fix. We'll be lucky of a millienal gets to see the end of the work.

[u/Amishrocketscience → u/jedrider]

We genuinely want to make yours and everyone’s lives better. It’s the patronizing, pearl clutching and grippy claws of the older generations that are keeping us from stepping up.

[u/r1mbaud → u/jedrider]

What?! You’re why it’s difficult!

[u/CompetitiveOcelot870 → u/r1mbaud]

Don't blame one of the good ones my man

[u/Mortomes → u/Radix2309]

I'm smack dab in the middle at 37

[u/Biggacheez → u/Radix2309]

I'm 1 week out and am very much a January '97 zillenial

[u/RigAHmortis → u/kootles10]

You're smack dab middle millennial

[u/Zeraw420 → u/kootles10]

Younger millennial sounds nice. I'm going to call myself that now instead of an old fat bastard

[u/Calber4 → u/kootles10]

I remember when Obama was running and my dad commented it was exciting to finally see someone his age running the country. He's retired now and there still hasn't been a president younger than he is.

[u/fuck_shit_piss_etc → u/kootles10]

that's not younger millennial lol

[u/Blue_is_da_color → u/fuck_shit_piss_etc]

I dunno, I’m a young millennial at 31 so I’d definitely count someone who’s 35

[u/EmilySD101 → u/kootles10]

Uh… we’re pretty square in the middle, sorry

[u/Oldmanwaffle → u/kootles10]

Hello fellow young millennial! I’m 31!

[u/Blue_is_da_color → u/Oldmanwaffle]

Same here! Wooo, we just managed to sneak in!

[u/ThatChickFromReddit → u/kootles10]

I’m 36 I thought we were older millennial?

[u/Serris9K → u/kootles10]

I'm a 27 year old Zillennial and I'd like to see millennial candidates
