This doesn't get brought up enough because liberals crucify you if you mention it but Biden literally said

"Young people today want to complain about how tough they have it. Give me a break. No I'm serious I have no sympathy. If you don't like the way things are you go out and change it."

Not enough is made about the fact the democratic candidates stated message to young people is "go fuck yourself specifically. I'm not doing shit for you if you want something done you go fucking do it."

If a republican politician had said something half as callous about literally any other group liberals would still be clutching their pearls about it. Instead younget linked to a snopes article that say "FALSE: He did literally say those words in that order in that context but that's not what he meant you dirty commies."

Like you literally have to be really really good at ignoring reality ro even lie to yourself effectively enough to believe that Joe Biden doesn't have open confessed contempt for you if you're left of Bush Sr.

That's setting aside the fact you have to make excuses for why fucking everything else has steadily gotten shittier for your entire lifetime.

We already got very visually completely fucked over on higher education, the job market, and home ownership and it's basically an open secret were paying into social security every month and they're just gonna end that as soon as the boomers die so we'll all be dead fucking broke because we payed for the last generations to have free government Healthcare and retirement and as a reward well get to work until we die on the job at 70.

Assuming the climate catastrophe hasn't advanced to water wars by that point.

Dems are lucky that burning down their fucking houses isn't the hot new trend among younger generations.

I’m gonna go out and change it the-doohickey

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

And so, the younger generation now tells me how tough things are — give me a break! [Audience laughs and applauds]. No no, I have no empathy for it. Give me a break. Because here's the deal, guys — we decided we were going to change the world, and we did. We did...

HOW THE FUCK DID YOU CHANGE THE WORLD YOU ABSOLUTE GHOUL.

The sour mood points to potential trouble for Joe Biden, who is struggling with Gen Z and younger Millennials in polls compared with 2020, and needs to convince them he can be relied on to improve their lives.

He could always try improving their lives

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

He could try not explicitly telling them to fuck off he doesn't give a shit and he's not going to do anything to improve their lives and also theyre anti Semitic and don't know how politics works.

Despairing? Oh no, the death of the empire is the only thing that gives me hope! I don't think it even matters who leads the empire in decline, it can not be stopped and the world will finally be free.

... wish I could have national healthcare tho

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

This is 100% where I'm at, the US empire is dying and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it, and that's good.

Hope the landing isn't too hard. Helps that our greatest adversary who will be the new superpower mostly builds power through mutually beneficial trade, maybe they'll set up some factories in the Republic of Southwestern (State I live in).

Arguably trump would be better because the psycho Republicans will rapidly accelerate the decline. Not that id ever vote Republican or Democrat

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I can't predict who accelerates the collapse faster, honestly. Under Biden the Democrats are happily marching in lockstep towards the cliff, which might end the US faster than Republicans wildin out on their own.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

that's actually true and I say actually because I too have been conditioned a bit into thinking democrats are objectively better

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

man it's almost like Biden promised young people a bunch of things in the last round that he absolutely didn't bother to follow through on, and then continued/intensified all of the worst trends of the Trump presidency

“Step one is more fully admitting that people are hurting, concerning young voters and all voters, particularly around the economy [and] inflation,” Smith said. “And that we’re doing something about it. That it’s not all roses, and communicating that really, really strongly: That we don’t think everything is great.”

Rest easy everyone, for we are Seen and Heard.

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

not even, this one guy is saying that democrats should see and hear us but they aren't actually

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

"Young people today want to complain about how hard they have it. Give me a break. No I'm serious I have zero sympathy." - the person they want us to vote for who definitely sees and hears us

This is their takeaway. It’s clear who their audience is here that they are addressing. Ruling Democratic Party blob creatures. The issue is not with how things are, it’s with how we communicate it. This is the constant Democrat explanation when they eat it, that they aren’t doing a good enough job “communicating” their wins, which means more money for ad agencies and PR agencies. That’s what “better communication” translates to, more money at the failing consultancies who already take and waste all the money.

Hmm is it bad that we are a dying evil empire that everyone across the political spectrum hates? No, it is the kids who are wrong and need to be better communicated to
