Poll: 70% of millennials don’t believe Hillary’s nomination is “historic”

[Cosmic Janitor]

It would only count if she were human. Electing lizard people is nothing new.

You misunderstand. I am saying these articles and the shit in the OP is using the term Millennial like it means people who are 18 to 25. When it really could mean anyone from the age of 16 to 36. I am not trying to say 36 is not young, but that is double the age of the youngest Millennial. So I would say using the term to describe a generation is just stupid and wrong.

I see... good point.

It's not historic?

Please, she's the first serpent demon running for oval office.

[Allerius]

It's not significant, which is what most people are really thinking. The barrier to something being "historic" is really low, as literally every single event is a part of history after it happens. As to significance it's obvious that widespread sexism isn't a thing anymore, so a woman winning an office isn't a big deal. If anything I'd be curious if Hillary enjoys more support as a woman than if she were a man.

This election has been crazy, I mean we had the zodiac killer, a robot, an oompa loompa in a suit, a socialist jew, and a serpentlady running for office all at once.

[Forgettable]

I'm with them.

She's a woman, so what? Who cares? Does her gender make her more or less qualified? No, it's irrelevant.

Wait so Queens from ancient times dont count?

So, the Youth are not exactly jazzed about Hillary, indeed the country in general doesn't seem to be popping off for her or at all that interested in a somewhat historic event.

Is the "Woman Card," working? Odd for the generation that seems to gravitate towards Identity Issues, but yet here, completely lacking in enthusiasm.

Sure is historic. I can't remember the last time that government corruption was so clear. When was the last time someone rigged an election this hard, without much opposition?

[Revik]

This is true only because she is the best candidate money can buy.

Here is a quote from one of those articles that supposedly tells a different story. "Youth turnout appears to be exceeding 2004 levels"

IE: The numbers are still fucking low. Youth Turnout is always low. Just because a high percentage of them vote one way does not mean they aren't fucking nothing in the long run. The reason I am peeved has nothing to do with this anyway. Its more than Millenial is such a broad term and the most accepted description is anyone born from 1980 to 2000. That is a long fucking time yet people throw the term around like it means young people.

Do not taint the glorious Gen X/Y people by placing them in the group of millenial filth. /spit.

I'm just going to say this straightforward here folks: If you're American, if you have the ability to Vote, do it because - Not voting, and then complaining on facebook/ twitter/ mmo-c.com - makes your entire point of debating politics null. Just stick to your guns (literally), don't vote for corruption.. #feeltheBERN ) aka Just GO VOTE PLS!!!!

70% of millennials are right.

There have been female leaders of plenty of nations, and many more who have led leadership campaigns in major parties.

At this point it shouldn't be "historic". It should be "normal". Though perhaps in the case of the US it's just a bit more "about time".

Who is the robot?

No idea, but the sloth comes to mind (Carson).

Millennials is just another name for Generation Y.

Is not and we've argued this before. The millennial term is too broad to be used due to the differences in the age range.

[Biotec]

Who is the robot?

Rubio.

I understand why people may have forgotten about him.

[Wildtree]

If you think the Republicans and Democrats are the pinnacle of idiocy, you haven't seen the Libertarian 2016 batch yet.

[DisposableHero]

Who is the robot?

Rubio was referred to in some circles as Marco Roboto during the 45 seconds in which he was relevant to the republican primary.

[Biotec]

That was my first guess based on relevance, but I guess I don't see why he's likened to a robot. If anything he's a yappy little dog that wants nothing more than to be noticed by the bigger dogs.

He kept repeating the exact same line in some of his debates. Sometimes back to back, kind of like a malfunctioning robot.

[Independent voter]

Her election will be historic.

[Wildtree]

Ah, OK.

This is what he means
