Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If they start drafting kids, that will be the end of whatever support he has left among boomers. Boomers fought in Vietnam, many of them were drafted, and voted for "no new wars". Trump is notoriously a draft dodger, which they chose to ignore but, I think they won't be ignoring that anymore.
That would take a level of moral consistency the boomers frankly don’t possess.
give a beer to this guy! 😆 🍺
You’d be surprised. Boomers on average are more liberal than Gen Xers. Most forget a lot of them were hippies too and I guarantee the hippies lived longer than the more conservative ones.
were more liberal, maybe. are more liberal, nope.

Those age bands don’t line up well enough to generational cohorts to draw any specific conclusions IMO, other than perhaps it is unfair to paint any generation with a single brush (which, admittedly I did earlier.)
All this data does is prove what we already know: white, boomer aged, uneducated men support peDono in higher numbers.
yeah, a surprise that third-aged men supported Trump... but someone voted him
and look at black people: they hate Donald 😆 (I share the feeling)
Did you sleep through the '00s?
He’s nineteen.
Boomers are okay with that,
Now I understand the thing of 'send all to militar service' in my country. Of course, they won't go there!
Agreed much to old to fuck at that age In boomer eyes
