  Exactly I don’t know many young people who aren’t at least progressive. Hell my youngest son who isn’t political at all calls himself a socialist. Gen Z and maybe Gen Alpha Could save us, but only if we fight. Because the fascist Maga are doing everything they can to kill the planet.

    My 26 year old sees nothing wrong with Socialist, and even Communist idealogies.

    When you’ve grown up with MAGA being the representation of Democracy, alternating with the mind-boggling fecklessness of the Biden administration, and that’s ALL you know about Democracy, when NOTHING is working, no wonder other political systems start to appear reasonable.

    I’ve always thought that most of the best things about American life were Socialist anyway - Schools, libraries, parks, fire departments, etc. We should expand that part of our system to include more stuff, like Health Care.

      Exactly my literally was discussing communism and thought it was good. And he understood on paper its great ,it only fails will fascist dictator abuse it. I mean I didn’t teach him any of this. He knows I learn far left and supported Bernie Sanders in both times he ran for office. Made ms so proud.

    While the kids I meet doing Ubering are the most polite riders I have, I had the unfortunate experience of working in a rural gas station some years ago. Some were open Nazis do the salute and were not ostracized by their peers.
