People were totally willing to go in Korea and WW2 bud

2018-05-04 19:58:38 UTC  

That was still the greatest generation

2018-05-04 19:58:44 UTC  

It was Vietnam when it changed

2018-05-04 19:58:50 UTC  

The horrors of modern warfare witnessed from WW1 killed the sense of honor and prestige war brought @zakattack04

2018-05-04 19:58:52 UTC  

the Boomers kicked in

2018-05-04 19:59:03 UTC  

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 wrong wrong wrong

2018-05-04 19:59:08 UTC  

No

2018-05-04 19:59:11 UTC  

More people signed up for WW2 than WW1

2018-05-04 19:59:38 UTC  

and that was during the Depression, when everyone had no hope and was struggling.

2018-05-04 19:59:55 UTC  

It died in Vietnam my friend

2018-05-04 20:00:05 UTC  

Not the Great War

2018-05-04 20:00:11 UTC  

it didn't end in WW1, but the sense of valor faded away since then

2018-05-04 20:00:17 UTC  

Not true

2018-05-04 20:00:53 UTC  

People were still proud to serve and proud of their valor during WWII and Korea.

2018-05-04 20:01:12 UTC  

Vietnam was when they got@the whole "self entitled" philosophy

2018-05-04 20:03:25 UTC  

maybe in America and the USSR
but that was based on a sense of purpose,
specifically a mission for and against communism
a big ideological battle
but nationalism started to die in WW1 and ended in WW2

2018-05-04 20:03:46 UTC  

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Biden would have a good chance of winning but not Sanders

2018-05-04 20:03:56 UTC  

Sanders isn't that popular outside of Reddit

2018-05-04 20:04:33 UTC  

Don't underestimate that college constituency

2018-05-04 20:05:00 UTC  

The Democrats underestimated the White Working Class and look what happened

2018-05-04 20:05:00 UTC  

I will because their turnout rate is abysmal

2018-05-04 20:05:20 UTC  

WWC actually showup to vote though

2018-05-04 20:05:34 UTC  

Trends change

2018-05-04 20:05:49 UTC  

Whites were dropping out of the electorate,

2018-05-04 20:05:53 UTC  

Not to mention there was that recent Reuters poll that said that Demeocrats were losing support among white millenials

2018-05-04 20:05:54 UTC  

until they started to show up in 2016

2018-05-04 20:06:46 UTC  

There was also the recent New Hampshire poll where Sanders only got 13% despite winning the primary by ~60% in 2016

2018-05-04 20:07:29 UTC  

I think that those millennials are simply opposed to neoliberalism (the status quo of the Democratic Party atm), but would prefer Sanders-esque socialist policy

2018-05-04 20:08:25 UTC  

Yeah, millennials have two issues with the Democrats--

2018-05-04 20:08:42 UTC  

1. There's tons of hatred for the SJWs who are basically the social/cultural liberal wing of the party now.

2018-05-04 20:08:59 UTC  

The poll showed that Republics were getting more support though

2018-05-04 20:09:09 UTC  

from white millenials

2018-05-04 20:09:13 UTC  

2. There's tons of hatred for the Socialists among the "Libertarian Democrats" and SJWs.

2018-05-04 20:09:14 UTC  

That's because they're getting older

2018-05-04 20:09:20 UTC  

ie Bernie's base

2018-05-04 20:09:26 UTC  

No

2018-05-04 20:09:31 UTC  

Young people are Bernie's base

2018-05-04 20:09:48 UTC  

Yeah young white people

2018-05-04 20:09:59 UTC  

3. GenZ is now included among the youth vote and many of them were raised in a culture without much racism and with a massive amount of anti-white discrimination.

2018-05-04 20:10:04 UTC  

And Millennials won't be as young as they were in 2016

2018-05-04 20:10:08 UTC  

4. Bush-era influence on education is starting to kick in.
