(30,481 posts)And you are correct that you have taken on unfair broad brush attacks. Really, many groups have, but few with the blanket attacks toward the youth.
You need to look past them. Sorry to tell you that but it should hold no weight in your political decisions. The youth vote is important and we should focus on it. Both of our candidates have platform positions that appeal to young voters. You are not being forgotten or dismissed.
That being said, some perspective is also good. Can you imaging being a POC on this site and having to read people promoting the land ownership argument? Far too many groups have been disparaged. Try putting yourself in the shoes of the person I just mentioned. It's the true promotion of oppression.
I'm fully on board with the thought that young people have taken a bit of a whacking.
