    Well obviously not like I said we generally post each other at least about five times in the 24-hour period.

    There ain't many of us here that either work nights or stay up all night :)

    No. Not really no. Not by any metric except your imagination.

    Trump left office with fewer jobs than when he started, and Trump raised the debt more than any other President in 4 years ever has

    LOL are those your two wins your clinging onto? In a sea of failure and weakness, those are your two wins?

    China can smell a dead man walking...they are going to be making their move in Taiwan next.

    You did solve them mean tweets though! That much is certain.

    He'll win a lot back if he pulls off his 11th hour student loan forgiveness just before the general election. Currently the moratorium is extended again to August 31----just in time to do it and have democrats be able to run on it after Labor Day.

    Trump was weak, China attacked the US with a biological weapon, and he did nothing

    Might have to do with economic prospects for Millennials, with housing prices reaching dizzying heights, and shortages of housing in numerous big city and high population density areas.

    (Immigration, inflation, and the economic shutdown associated with the pandemic hasn't been helping matters)

    Every time I read about who the youth vote is going for this cycle, I am reminded of Paris Hilton and her "Vote or Die" thingamabob she did with some stupid rapper (but I repeat myself) about twenty years ago - and it turned out she never even registered to vote.

    Cost of living and a bleak future in their peak earning years. They aren’t kids anymore. They were born in the 80’s and 90’s, have families, homes, kids, jobs, bills, student loans. They are getting crushed and it is 100% Biden’s fault.

    Is there any chance you could address the question in the OP, which I'm sorry to report has nothing to do with Trump?

    That's fine, but the thread is inquiring as to the drop in support FOR PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN as among milennials and GenZ's. (You know who Joe Biden is, right?)

    Biden was only elected to beat Trump, he is center of the isle, not left in the real sense of the word, that is the point

    Biden was elected to beat Trump in the swing States, he was not the dems first choice

    the elderly folks like Trump and Biden won't be in politics much longer, the millennials and GenZ's. will take over

    IMO he should not run again, and I doubt he will. Manchin and/or Gabbard should run, and OP should run conservatives as opposed to populist hacks like DeSantis, Time to return to normal times again.

    Biden doesn't have the legal authority to forgive student loans as he promised during his campaign. This is just another example of Biden making promises he can't deliver on. Even the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi agrees he doesn't have the legal authority, only Congress can do that.
    If Biden could forgive the loans as he promised, he would have done it by now.

    That’s so weird. I never have to click on anything to see a post, unless I have that person on ignore.

    I thought about the above post when I read an article about Musk and Twitter this morning:

    Not only does the Left rule; it is accustomed to ruling. Its leaders suffer from “arc of history” brain—a tendency to assume that every cultural dispute will in the long run break their way. In consequence, progressives have lost the knack for game theory. They forget that the other side gets a move, too, and they tend to be shocked when it goes ahead and makes one. Progressives act surprised when the institutions they’ve politicized lose legitimacy. They are mystified when the large swath of society on whom they heap scorn flocks to populist politicians.

    https://www.city-journal.org/elon-musk-forces-a-free-speech-reckoning


    I was going to observe myself that the left heralded Watergate and the resignation of Richard Nixon in 1972 (?) as an indication that the party of the People (D's) was finally back in charge, and the Republican brand had been discredited forever. I believed it, too. But see, we've had 4 Republican Presidents since then, two having been re-elected.

    Today's milennials won't be milennial forever. They are as likely to be disgusted by Democrats as they grow older and start paying taxesas prior generations of young people did. Not to say that you wrong ... I just wouldn't make any assumptions.

    I think the bolded is true, in reality. In my HS politics class, we did a huge segment on how the politics is a pendulum. Sometimes we swing too far to the right, and leftist policies creep in, which then puts us on a trajectory to swing too far to the left. Rinse/repeat.

    In the long run, though, progress happens. This is why the word is progressive. Without progress, we'd still be forbidding inter-racial marriages, for example.

    I am in complete agreement that we are swinging too far to the left right now. This trans women in sports thing is incredibly bothersome to me. Several new pronouns is bothersome to me. There's more, but that's the gist. I'm saying this as someone who knows several trans people, who are happier now because of their surgeries.

    We will figure it out, but it's the wild west out there right now.

    My personal issue is that Trump is like Jim Jones. His worshipers are full on loony tunes. I've zero issue people who despise him but still vote for him, because I totally get why. The republicans could start pushing our pendulum back the other way for a bit, but, c'mon, they need someone SANE to run. This country was never going to return to sanity under Trump.

    They will always be millennials, and many of them are already in their 40s, so they know a thing or two about taxes. Its time we stopped talking about them as if they were still pot smoking teenagers. As a matter of fact they one of the driving forces behind the economic supply / demand crunch, since they are buying houses, cars, furniture, stuff for kids, re-modelling gear etc.

    As for Gen-Z, - some are still 9 yrs old, so they are not much of a factor.
