Pretty much all American Millenials are actually Canadians...
...was what I took away from this Daily Beast article: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/07/10/hey-boomers-millennials-hate-your-partisan-crap.html

Basically, they're non-partisan, mostly political independents, socially liberal/progressive, fiscally conservative, don't trust the government to do things efficiently, but don't actually trust unbridled free-market capitalism either.

In other words.... Canadian.

Welcome home, friends.  Pick up your flag, maple syrup, and beaver (not that kind you pervert!) on your way across the border =)

That's what they say they want. But come election day it will be the same old **** again cause they still don't have a viable 3rd party to vote for.

Re: Pretty much all American Millenials are actually Canadians...
I'm reminded of this Colbert quote:

Quote
Yes, Obama duped young people by not doing every single things they want. So now, they’ll all vote Republican. It’s like when I want some bread, I won’t settle for half a loaf. Instead, I will have a muffin made of broken glass.

schrödinbug (noun) - a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place.

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

<IronWorks> I am useful for FSO stuff again. This is a red-letter day!

<MageKing17> TIL the entire homing code is held up by shoestrings and duct tape, basically.

its like they all need to get together and vote for the independent, whoever they may be. yet they are too caught up in rhetoric of both parties to even consider that an option. independent candidates exist for the sole purpose of giving both parties the middle finger, so it doesn't matter what the independent candidate actually stands for. they will never win, but if they get say 20-30% of the votes, it sends a solid message to both parties to get their heads out of their asses.

Re: Pretty much all American Millenials are actually Canadians...
But that would require not voting for the party that could win that would also piss you off least.  A vote for an independent is a vote that isn't cast against your particular hated party's enemies.

Re: Pretty much all American Millenials are actually Canadians...
im more interested in closing the gap between the parties than vote for candidates i like or against those i dont like. i know that no matter who gets elected you are still going to have power split amongst extremes, which results in nothing getting done. the only way to fix that is to change the parties, and the only way as a voter i can think of to accomplish that is to not vote for party canidates and voice my disgust.

if i am elected president, i will declare nuclear war on everyone. i will solve all the worlds problems in one salvo! which is a hell of a lot better than what any of the opposing candidates can offer.
