Many are, but just because it is a mindset prevalent in my generation, does not mean all of us are millenials.

This is kind of a millenials mindset tbqh

Again, not a mindset. It's about the era of time our generation came into our own.

You're not a true millenial if you can't name at least three of the millenium items

More the mindset and culture. Which has some correlation with birthdates, but not causation.

Half-right, perhaps. The mindset and culture is one of categorizing demographics according to era of birth and upbringing, dividing increasingly inappropriately, and blaming the young for the problems the elderly got themselves in. I have no interest in blaming Z or Alpha for my problems, at least. X? They raised me, made some bad assumptions about me rather than asking the right questions, but I don't blame them as a whole. Boomers? They did what they thought was right at the time, and grew jaded in either accepting what is or in protecting what little they'd accomplished, and I again do not blame them as a whole. I'd love to poke fun at the Silent Generation, but that's bad form on those who cannot defend themselves.

See, each era has its own needs and wants, with some being carried over from the past because it's familiar, not necessarily because it's good. The millennial generation does have our needs and wants, but the mindset does not define the generation, as ever-present as it is. Again, blaming mindset, calling it so much as a bad thing, and using the generation's label in a derogatory manner is not WHY we are millennials. We are such because of the time, with all the change that comes with it. Falling in the trap of singling out the alleged broad-stroke mindset is kind of a foolish thing to do, and I hope you see that.

I guess a large part of the discrepency is that I/my generation, was born without the internet and it only really became the established norm in our late teens. Generations are really shifted between countries and the standard dating hinges heavily on US culture. But have become closer since then because of the internet and Western culture on average has gotten closer to US culture quicker.

But you did hint at one very true thing, a large part of generations is reactionary. That push against the mindset of one's parents' generation.

Except Warren had no chance at that point. She was acting as a progressive just to siphon votes from Sanders and help Biden win.

lolwut? Do you honestly believe that Warren's policies -- some of which she raised first and then Bernie echoed during the race -- are just an "act"? C'mon, man.

Considering how Hillary vs Obama played out in 08, that doesn't really mean much. I know, however, that I wasn't the only person who didn't even get to vote for Pete because he withdrew and backed the man I didn't want. I also know that if Pete were to run again, I'd have zero trust in him after this point.

What are you driving at? Obama had reasonable showings early and was predicted to do well on Super Tuesday, which he did. Mayor Pete wasn't expected to have a great showing.

Don't you know that pretty much every other first world country is suffering because of their Healthcare system?/s

Because apparently literally the only thing in Bernie's policy was healthcare?/s

And that's not getting into the fact that government healthcare has sometimes not only sentenced people to die by refusing by provide care, but it also blocked people from receiving treatment elsewhere.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/25/health/alfie-evans-appeal-bn/index.html

That's not getting into countless other issues associated with government-run healthcare. Having lived in Canada and experienced its government-run healthcare, I would never fucking want it. And virtually everybody in the US who advocates for it has never had experienced it firsthand.

I don't think that's been agreed upon, but I could be wrong?

It's pretty commonly used for gen z, but on the whole there's the other issue of the generations system being heavily flawed.

How exactly is that og, though? The manga introduced the Millennium Eye *before* the Millennium Ring. iirc, the Millennium Ring also never featured in the first anime where Bakura instead had cursed dice or something.

It's been a long time, I only remember that the finale was Yugi Vs. Bakura where they played a weird dice RPG
