I'm not buying that. I had a 30 grand student loan for a bachelor's degree. I did substitute teaching as a second job for a while to pay it off.
Their 'grim economic reality' is them saying: I'm not doing that shite.

Can you blame them? Name a single positive thing that generation will be remembered for.

They are the ones clamoring for the S in DSA.
DSA is just a stepping stone.

Well problem is in 2 years it’s not going to get any better- will probably be worse. Home affordability is out the window, mortgage rates will stay 8-9.5% etc…
I don’t disagree with you but the GOP does a really shitty job of addressing this issue.

Perception =\= reality. The perception of the modern 18-35 year olds is that they think they're entitled to what the 35-50 year old has or can do without saving money, working for it or sacrificing anything.
You're not supposed to be able to afford a mini mansion, luxury vehicle, European vacations, and 3 kids on a regular salary.
When's the last time you heard someone 18-35 talk about "saving money" for something?

Or they just believed the propaganda that they have been fed since the young broke for Trump in 2024.
This isn't a surprise to anyone who's been paying attention it was by design.

It’s not perception. Objective costs of housing, education, and medicine are more misaligned with average income now that almost at any point since WWII for this demographic

Not going to get better for them by voting Dem. Only worse.
We will see.
I voted straight red but I promise over the last two years the youth who voted for him who are now being told to suck up higher gas prices etc. to fight for our freedoms in Iran are basically going to lose hope.
They give you the presidency and then in 1.5 years later you pull a 180 you lose that generation

Let's say these assertions are right, still doesn't make my points about budgeting and saving wrong. I bet if you polled 18-35, less than 25% would even know what a personal budget is, much less have one.

I think tariffs and deportations were an attempt.
And that is what Trump ran on.
If someone thinks you can make even a minor structural shift in an economy as complex as USA's and see results in 22 months then that person is a true fricking moron.

I'd let to see how 18-35 polled with foreign conflict.
It was the economy. More needed to be done that no taxs on tips

Generation Average net worth vs. Boomers at the age of 35 as per the St Louis Fed (inflation adjusted to 2024 dollars) -
Baby Boomers $257,000 Baseline
Generation X $283,000 +10%
Millennials / older Gen Z $347,000 +35%
Yes, that’s average and not median but if you’re arguing generational differences, this is relevant - unless your argument is the difference is larger fractions of younger generations can’t compete with their peers.
But the St Louis Fed did do some work using median income -
Older Millennials, born in the 1980s, had median wealth 37% above the level predicted for their age using historical wealth patterns in 2022.
Younger Millennials and older Gen Z, born in the 1990s, were 39% above that historical age-based benchmark.

I’m right in that category, and I can tell you that US going to war for Israel is the number one issue and has been for a long time. When trump did that, he lost all the motivation people had for him. America first was no longer at that moment.

Yep, they are the most recent products of our shitty education system, so they are more ignorant and more brainwashed than their elders.

The Dems know how to weaponize deception much better than the Republicans.
