    Me, stupid-head: One reason Trump won in 2016 is that millennial voters didn't turn out in the numbers they did for Obama. The Dems really need to mobilize the young. You, smart columnist: The Dems need to tell young people to fuck off and die.

        My question is why didn’t they vote in 2016? They voted for Obama twice, and he has largely the same policies as Hillary, PLUS his opponents weren’t the literal least qualified, worst person ever. No one’s been able to explain that to me.

        This is so important This is also how Dan Lipinski barely won his last primary. Had millennials come out to vote we would have had Marie Newman

        Me, stupid head: if a millennial is someone born after 2000 and that the vote was in 2016, when they would be 16, how did they vote for Obama?

        Telling people to make their own Party and their votes aren't wanted then blaming them for losing.

        Me, galactic genius: Trump didn’t win in 2016. He sat back as a foreign country hacked our election on his behalf, and despite the fact that he lost by 3 mil votes was able to swing an electoral college win by under 70k. He’s not a legit president. Thank you for coming to my ted
