Does it worry anyone else that the generation best known for eating tide pods for funsies are the most numerous American midterm voter age category?

[Sixgunsound]

As always trolls and flames will be coming down, let’s discuss the issues not each other. Good luck!

[NaultD]

Fun fact tide pod challenge was a meme (that means joke) no one actually did. Zero up ticks on poison control or poison hospitalization. Gen Z was smart enough to know that was stupid. That's why it was funny.

They did have older siblings planking and dying tragically. I honestly think the tide pod challenge was a joke response to planking. Again that no one actually did.

Ow this is about Biden and gas prices.

The reality is oil is a private sector business. They lost a fuck ton of money early covid19. A barrel was negative dollars. To recover losses you have sell gas as high as possible. That's the reality of capitalism. I got a fuck ton of oil company stocks when stocks was low. The higher gas prices are now and into the future, the better my own investment becomes.

That's capitalism baby. There's a reason every dollar bill has "in god we trust" every dollar is a blessing from god and every dollar added to gas prices is another blessing to my stock accounts.

[exitseven]

I have to believe that most see how much they are paying for gas and how their parents are struggling to buy groceries and will vote accordingly

[purplepoppy]

No. If you walk around any cemetery and note the ages on the stones you'll notice 3 clusters babies, the elderly and teens. The reality is most of those teens died doing something dumb. It doesn't matter what year it is there'll be dumb teens eating tide pods, spanking bears, sticking their tongue in electric sockets etc. Humans are dumb, if they weren't politicians wouldn't get elected.

[Sixgunsound]

You may have a point there.

[Sixgunsound]

I’m not sure sure politicians do get elected, though. Even in the 19th century, American author mark twain famously stated that “if voting actually mattered, they wouldn’t let us do it”.

[Msputiton]

Naw because a tiny group did something stupid doesn't mean the majority did it

[Sixgunsound]

I give you more maturity credit that I give nearly anyone your age.

[Msputiton]

thanks

I think we're fucked. That guy Brandon has done so much damage with just 2 years and people are still complaining about Trump's mean tweets. This is like living in a mental institution and all I can do is a little nod at the ones that seem a little bit sane and keep my eye on the exits. They're going to burn this mother fucker down.

[Oigit]

Hay I was all for the eating tide pod's thing. Because I bet it cleaned up the gene-pool a bit. Though every generation has some stupid fads and people willing to do stupid crap to get noticed. Really all the internet and cellphone's did was make it more noticeable for my generation and these after.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Genz is gonna save us all. I'm positive. They're gonna be the beginning of things getting better if the older people don't fuck it up too much for them. They're less lazy, more willing to try new things, they take pride in being good at stuff in a way that I don't think most millennials are.

I think Genz is more interested in doing cool, interesting things than they are about simply making money

They have a silly sense of humor and do stupid things but every generation does

[jshm2]

Don't be daft, it's your incompetent generation that made them the way they are.

How insular and narcissistic do you have to be; to not realise kids NOT wanting to be like you is a diss on your character and conduct?

[pepper1993]

Pretty sure the tide pod thing never really happened. It was a joke that news people picked up and started reporting as fact. Not saying people didn't do it, but it was certainly over exaggerated.

[Agape93]

And people wonder why I don't see humanity living another century. My generation wasn't brilliant but we didn't eat detergent or light ourselves on fire for views.

[normalice]

They aren't actually best known for that. The far right fake news says they are but that's just because they know no one is stupid enough to vote republican based on merit..

[NathanDavis]

I bet the parents and grandparents who raised these kids must be really ashamed of themselves... and taking 100% responsibility for what they brought up to America...

[Jamie05rhs]

If only that meme were true.
Sadly, his "nowhere plans" aren't being made for nobody. That have real-world consequences for millions of real people.

[worldscolide]

Did you know they make gummies that look like tide pods?

[TheMoralCrusader]

Well your vote goes right in the trash and the big elections are fake so there's that.

[TroyDT2]

Not really. My candidates never win anyway.

[Sixgunsound]

My candidate loses even when he wins, so there’s that. My state candidate never wins because my state is so permanently locked that they don’t need to bother holding elections.

[TroyDT2]

Sounds like California.

[Sixgunsound]

Close enough that it might as well be. I am in New York, in a third-party.

[Sixgunsound]

My state governor is fighting California state governor for street CRED with the youngest generation of liberals eligible to vote. I am assuming they both have national ambitions and are trying to sort out with the party base whose ambitions will be realized.

[Ryfyle]

Not enough abortions and school shootings.

[Sixgunsound]

We’re you answering a different question here by mistake? If not, can you elaborate further?

[Ryfyle]

The Zoomer Solution is a glorious storm of Violence. Voting is a myth anyway.

[Sixgunsound]

In us federal elections voting is absolutely a myth. Probably in most smaller elections too, as the widespread demonstrations of fraud have shown in recent years. Voter fraud is as old as voting though; nothing new under the sun.

[Sixgunsound]

If elected officials have already been bought and sold by corporations before they are foisted on a clueless and apathetic public, who really holds the power here?

[Sixgunsound]

Zoomer a as a whole with some exceptions don’t seem to realize how many people their age died in the “glorious revolution”, and how many of them wished they had died within 2 to 3 years.

[Ryfyle]

Hey man I'm not here for the politics, just the Zoomer Death. You could strangle the pube permed retards with a cordless phone. A useless generation of drones. No sapience and barely sentient. You can't really murder a Zoomer like you can a Boomer. A boomer will plead cravenly for life, whilst a zoomer will just babble incoherent slang till you put a slug through them.

[Sixgunsound]

Come on man tell them how you really feel, geez

[Ryfyle]

Cinder blocks are more emotive.

[Fuentes]

It's TRUMP 2024 no matter what
