Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They've plagued the lives of Millennials, too, just more directly. Even old Millennials were still children when Google was first created.
Gen Z is what you get when people grow up with the ubiquity of the internet and a bleak outlook. It's a recipe for people who know how to mobilize, and I'm here for it.
I can't believe I didn't mention how important the internet and 21st century technology is to Gen Z. While it certainly has its harms, it's been vital for the spread of information, and we kind of just grew up using it daily like most, but since almost birth.
Just to epitomize that, I learned the windows shortcuts (control c, control v, etc) before I learned how to tie my shoes or ride a bike and I had classes that taught Java coding in junior high.
Only Gen Z that's hyper involved in certain forms of politics(and you'd find people of any generation are pessimistic when they're involved in those same forms) like most Gen Z on here. I'm Gen Z, and of course so are most of my friends- we're pretty optimistic. But, I guess, generalizations based on generation have always been pretty meaningless.
