Millennials and Gen Z will dictate American politics in 2024

People change. I mean, Bob Stinson got kicked out of the mats for being a drunk?!?!?!*

* even more evidence that people change, Paul claimed it was cuz he was not a good enough guitar player.

a sniff of fam, fortune, responsibility or whatever, changes people

p.s. In 1981 no one woulda predicted a slick, Memphis-y mats tune WITH horns. love that tune by the way

 

You are proud of what? Do you realize that most Boomers were Democrats in the 80s right? Including your boy Trump.

 

It is encouraging to see higher turnout. A functioning republic needs that. Also good to see more participation by younger voters.

 

So what you're saying is they will vote dem for the next 30 years

 

America will not last that long.

 

I hope so. It's time some new generations got this country back on track.

 

I can't believe young voters aren't into tax breaks for the wealthy, stripping people's rights, and dumbass conspiracy theories. Shocking.

 

That’s what righties like yourself hope. You’d rather see the country crumble then see a party you don’t like in charge loll

 

betting against the US is & always has been the world's biggest sucker bet. excuse my redundancy, but you must be one of 'em anti American Trumpers.

 

I guess some people can't distinguish between change & extinction.

 

The typical republican response to this type of news would be to suggest a vote age of 21-25. Let’s see which one suggests it first, shall we...

 

You sound like those people that think the country is over when their candidate loses

 

But maybe he wasn't a good enough guitar player because he was drunk all the time? I do really love his playing on Seen Your Video in particular. He was good, but clearly had to go. If you've been in a band with a hopeless drug addict, and I don't doubt that you have, you know how it goes. But yeah, people change.

 

You left out Christian nationalism, although I guess that kinda overlaps with all of the above.

 

So your proud that you got the short end of the stick so to speak and happy that some politicians that you don't know personally will try and solve something for you. You might want to grab some books and read them, especially the ones that say history on them. Your generation has had it the easiest in the history of human civilization.

 

But, my pt is that drunkiness was who the mats were. Further, it seems Paul encouraged it. He saw the whole live thing as drunken performance art. There is even evidence that Paul faked his drunkenness. A lot of folks don't know that they had huge musical/direction of the band differences. Bob wanted to go the Johnny Thunders/Heartbreakers route & Paul wanted to be more commercial.

edit. clearly this post lost the pt as I guess I just wanted to talk mats.

 

I see we have a generation rumble going on here.
