We were by and large raised by Baby Boomers. We never had a chance. Regardless, I would wager we are much more fiscally conservative than our parents.

I agree..Staying at home living off your parents is smart! Let them pay for everything.

I'm 51. My father was a Boomer.

Millennials weren't raised by Boomers. They were raised by my generation. And, pfft on my generation.

There is no rational way whatsoever to argue this on a political level. Maybe on a personal one, but definitely not politically.

You do realize that saying "I don't agree" isn't a response.

Try articulating HOW you don't agree and HOW the generalization isn't correct.

Otherwise, your response might as well be to say "nananananananananananan"

Why do so many millennials have a favorable view of socialism and tend to vete Democrat? I don't think that's a generalization

40 hours a week x 9 months x 12 years in communist re-education camps and the reason eludes you?

Of course they will. They will have to implement a VAT tax of around 10-15% in additional to all of our other taxed to pay for this utopia.

Then when everyone has an college degree, what is the value of that degree in the competitive world? It had better be a good degree in a marketable skill because there are a lot of baristas with a sheepskin in something useful like Latin that can make ends meat on their own while some person that has a skilled trade is earning 50 p/hr fixing the shite the millennial's broke but can't fix.

Most older millennials were probably raised by Boomers - 1946-1964.

yes that is a generalization. get out of any big metropolis and see if that trend holds up.

so many people in large urban settings have a favorable view of socialism and tend to vote Democrat, whether they are millennials, snowflakes, gen X or boomers. And i believe because that is how the policies of the left have gear society towards that.

and here is always where the argument leads. I refer to millenials as people like me who are my age(the Xenial) group who do not feel that should be associated with the young portion of the millenial group. This is why the millenial generation need to be split because of how fast the internet advanced the young and the old groups grew up ina completely different world.
