(29,795 posts)Young people were bashed for not showing up in as large numbers for the 2010 midterm compared to the 2008 general election for Obama. Even Bill Maher said at the time that they should give illegal immigrants the right to vote because they would do that job Americans won't do. He also continues to bash young people still to this day.
I remember one Gen Z poster here that complains about the youth bashing here and in fact there isn't as many young people as there was here since the youth bashing ever since the election of Obama. There may have been youth bashing before that but I signed up here in 2008. I'm more willing to tolerate it but not so much others.
Young people don't hate old politicians because their old but mostly due to the politics which is why Bernie Sanders isn't criticized for a lot of the things that Republican and center-left politicians do.
