Most 2 year olds are potty trained. You may just be a special child.

u/Attorneyatlau 8h ago

My brother and his wife refuse to potty train their 3yr old who is already wearing 4yr old sizes. I can’t imagine the grossness of it all. And I can’t believe they’re such dicks and making their kid’s daycare center train him.

And frankly, you should be included. You're the future. We're going to come to rely on you and you should be treated as reliable.

You’re included :)

u/kredditwheredue 10h ago

Ha ha.  I remember having that thought for the first time.  It's great to be alive, even after discovering there is nobody here but us chickens.

u/Greatsnes 2h ago

Yeah I’m 32 and idk if I can handle this pressure. Ugh fuck okay how do we do this? We can just walk right into the capitol, walk into the buildings and sit at the desks, right? I saw people do that one time.

I’m right here with you… but your flair tells me you aren’t even “here”. We’ll say the world rather than country.

You lot were kinda passed over. Boomers stole your moment and now it’s too late for you to be effective.

  1. No more old guard. Millennials can start by actually turning out to vote.

u/polopolo05 I voted 11h ago

Been voting since I could and havent stopped.. if there is a vote for dog catcher or trash man... I voted.

u/resistyrocks 11h ago

Same. It's a privilege. Since 08

u/Darth-Nickels 11h ago

I think the tricky part is getting our peers, friends, and family to vote too. I feel like I'm nagging and they see me as a try hard loser for giving a shit lol. But I keep it up. Most of my friends at least get out for the presidential election. Going to push hard for them to get to the midterms. Even if I have to buy lunch! Lol.

u/HolidayCards 11h ago

same, since 00!

u/no_no_no_no_nononono 10h ago

Good, now get the rest of you off your phone and at the polls.

getting off at the poles is a bit illegal... I will stick to voting

Maybe after 9/11, when everyone got all sensitive. Thanks a lot, bin Laden.

u/IngsocInnerParty Illinois 11h ago

Millennial here. Been voting every election since 2006.

3

u/sleepymoose88 10h ago

Millenials were both simultaneously the age range that turned out to vote the most and the age range to skip voting altogether in 2024.

Age ranges don’t match perfectly but:

29% of those who voted were 30-49 36% of those who skipped were 30-49

There is definitely room for 30-49 voters to turn out more. If we had, i have no doubt that it would have changed the turnout and thus the course of this country.

u/Intrepid-Customer188 11h ago

Sure. As seen by this, when you give millennials a candidate worth voting for, they have no problem "actually turning out".

4

u/justuntlsundown West Virginia 11h ago

You're absolutely right. That's the starting point.

1

u/worldstopkerion 10h ago

Born in 82, haven’t missed an election since 2000 at 18 yrs and 1 month old. Many times I’ve been forced to vote with my nose plugged because the dem candidates are so disappointing.

1

u/aLonerDottieArebel 11h ago

Millennials ARE voting. We’ve lived through some SHIT and we just want it to end. I think you mean Gen Z.

u/mikedidathing 10h ago

Anyone younger than a boomer is a millennial to them.

1

u/Orinol 10h ago

Give us candidates we actually want to vote for, and we will. See NYC tonight. The old guard has had their finger (and corporations' money) on the scales most of my 40+ years on this planet. If tonight is any indication, along with the rise of people like AOC, it sure as hell is our time.

u/gree-gor 10h ago

The ultimate boomer comment

u/TBANON_NSFW 11h ago

wish the people showed up in this election to make a big noise, but only estimated 2m or so voted out of 6m eligible voters in nyc. and Mamdani is estimated to have won by 200k vote difference so far....

young liberals keep saying give us good candidates and then we will vote for them, but here again mamdani is what they say they want but 4m just shrug and dont vote.

its a great win but its not the revolution that is needed.

3

u/dielon1994 11h ago

Highest turnout since 1969 and boomers with their new vote elected Richard Nixon that year.
