Goddamn this timeline sucks hairy balls (not to be confused with me cuz ain't nobody sucking me). I didn't like her as a VP pick and I don't like the idea of her as President but she's still 1000 times better than Cheetodick.

I'd love to see them nominate Bernie or AOC for VP. That's how they'll get the 18-24 year olds to come out to vote.

18-24 year olds didn’t show up for Bernie in 2015 or 2019. They aren’t coming this time. Their enthusiasm always get way overestimated.

Probably because that's one of the primary demos of sites like Lemmy and reddit, plus some sub populations of Twitter

I also think millennials/gen X need to not demand Gen Z bail us out, especially since a substantial portion can’t even vote yet.

Why not? As an elder millennial/xennial I'd be totally happy with Zs coming up to me saying we saved your ass for the rest of my life if they show up to vote.
