Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You've side stepped the point I was making yet again to argue something else, but I'll indulge in this one last time.
Your disagreement doesn't change laws on the books.
That can never happen when the previous generation is unwilling to let go of the reigns and are determined to die in office of at all possible.
Ok, well I'm talking about what happens in the real world, not people screaming into the void online. Whether or not you hear more about it towards the older gen online, the real world is ageist against younger generations all the time.
I don't give a wet shit about online people arguing when there's objective reality to look at for real examples. Good day.
Not purposely so. You'll have to elaborate more/better.

Having said that, I wasn't speaking about laws when I replied, but society norms/beliefs.
Laws segregating adults from children is a thing. But I wasn't speaking about children, but young vs old adults.
So, voting isn't a thing then (assuming we are both in a voting country)?
No matter what you say about it, ultimately, anyone can be voted out of office, even if obstacles are put in the way of that happening.
Democracy is only as good as the people who vote in it.
Sincerely would like to hear some examples of real-world being against younger generations examples. Might give me a better idea of what your opinion expressing is all about.
Again though, having said that, not ALL old people (or ALL of any kind of people for that matter) think the same way.
Life is a Volume Control dial, and not an On/Off switch. Its variance, its something that can always be plotted on a bell-curve graph.
And here you were doing so well, but you didn't stick the landing.
I wish for you a great day today and every day.
