My wife is 38. My friend called her a millennial the other night and she nearly bit his head off.
No, 37 is not a millennial. And the era of responsible journalism continues to erode.
Says who? Is there an official scientific committee that determines this? No? The whole thing is dumb.The general beginning of the millenial generation is between 80 and 82 depending on the source so she certainly could be considered one. I am 36 and consider myself one.
I'm 37 and wouldn't care if someone called me a millenial. Most millenial bashers are total douchlords who I want nothing to do with.The general beginning of the millenial generation is between 80 and 82 depending on the source so she certainly could be considered one.

If the while thing is dumb then why do you even care what generation any is placed in? Anyway the ideas and years were all put forward by authors and researchers who published literature on the idea of generational commonalities. Ofcourse cutoffs are a bit arbitrary but calling Gabbard a millenial is more accurate than the typical media story where they millenial and then talk about people who are 20.Says who?

I wouldn't mind either, were I 6 years younger - but I just neve thought of people in their mid to late 30's to be millenials. Thought it was more of a mid to late 20 year old thingI'm 37 and wouldn't care if someone called me a millenial. Most millenial bashers are total douchlords who I want nothing to do with.
Proof read your posts, millennial.If the while thing is dumb then why do you even care what generation any is placed in?

Uh, the secret meeting with Assad could be a problem.Oh, and I really hope she does run. She is intelligent and down to earth and I highly recommend people listed to the Joe Rogan podcast. It was nice getting to listen to her outside of soundbites and 10 minute interviews. She seems to be completely scandal-free as an added bonus, although the GOP will certainly create something.
That video is old- Mattis testified that he believes there was a chemical weapons attack two months later. And here's a recounting of the evidence from British news around that same time (two months after your Dore video). Also the "no evidence!" argument is Russian-born; if you think the Dems are gonna be eager to buy into Russian propaganda that contradicts the west you haven't been paying attention for the last few years.Considering Assad didn't use chemical weapons against his own people according to our own intelligence agencies including Mattis , I don't see the problem.
Have been reading up on her stance with Syria since you posted this. I know she is very anti-war, but I also do find her position on Syria a bit extreme.Uh, the secret meeting with Assad could be a problem.
Dore is part of this weird "alternative progressive" movement that seems largely dedicated to taking down "establishment" Democrats for not putting up enough of a fight against the evils of Trump and the modern GOP instead of focusing on taking down the people actually doing the evil stuff. IMO it's kind of like blaming the Holocaust on France, butTulsi Gabbard is more conservative than Nancy Pelosi according to "On the Issues".
Which seems weird considering that Dore makes his bones denigrating older Democrats as establishment sellouts. But not really that weird since on the issues is fact based and data driven as opposed to Jimmy "Seth Rich" Dore's conspiracy theories.
I am not sure exactlty. Are the researchers scientists? Maybe social scientists. Ofcourse the generationthinal thing is kind of dumb but there certainly are some shared qualities between people born in similar time frames. Whether your wife likes it or not, she is generally considered to be a millenial.Proof read your posts, millennial.
I gave an anecdote of why I care. Read it or don't. I think the whole thing is dumb. My wife? She objects to being called one.
We used to be our mid to late 20s but then we got older.I wouldn't mind either, were I 6 years younger - but I just neve thought of people in their mid to late 30's to be millenials. Thought it was more of a mid to late 20 year old thing
Testifying that he ‘believes’ there was a chemical weapons attack isn’t the same thing as proof, even says they were looking to OPCW at the time. I believe there was a chemical weapons attack too, but that it made much more sense for someone who wanted bring the West into the war than someone trying to end it. For the Syrian govt to employ such strategies when they’re right on the verge of winning is so bizarre as to be asinine.That video is old- Mattis testified that he believes there was a chemical weapons attack two months later.

The other issue is that in addition to the problems her secret meetings with Assad's regime present in their own right, the whole thing bears more than a passing resemblance to concerns about the current administration kowtowing to Putin and Mohammed Bin Salman after secretive interactions with those brutal dictators and their governments. Dems are not gonna be eager to go right back down that path with their own candidate.
Thanks for your perspective on the conclusions of western intelligence services, guy who refuses to believe that the Russians were behind the hacks of the DNC and was pushing the Seth Rich conspiracy theory a couple weeks ago. I'll give it the weight it deserves.Testifying that he ‘believes’ there was a chemical weapons attack isn’t the same thing as proof, even says they were looking to OPCW at the time.

Gabbard’s position on Syria, as far as I can tell, is that leaving the Syrian govt alone is preferable to supporting violent religious extremists. I’d rather Washington have direct talks with the Syrian govt than just bombing it. Her position on Syria is much more credible than the regime changers. It’s also more credible than people who voted for Iraq, worship Henry Kissinger, and oversaw the destruction of Libya. We have literally backed Al Qaida in Syria. What the hell kind of sense is that supposed to make.
I don't get the sense that she is a hawk at all. She is really not that progressive eitherI generally like Gabbard, but I think she sits in a bit of a weird political position that will hurt her chances in the Democratic primary. She's very left/progressive on some issues, while also being a pretty big warhawk due to her own personal beliefs and history. I think that will hurt her if there are other, more "pure" progressive candidates running against her in a primary. That said, I could see that mix being more appealing in a general election, as she might be able to bring over some people that would balk at a more traditional progressive candidate. As a poor analogy, I see her a bit more like a Teddy progressive than an FDR progressive.
Sure thing, guy that fell for TrumpRussia hysteria and reflexively takes intelligence agencies at face value, even after their work on Iraq and long history of lies.

Born in 1980. So, no.I am not sure exactlty. Are the researchers scientists? Maybe social scientists. Ofcourse the generationthinal thing is kind of dumb but there certainly are some shared qualities between people born in similar time frames. Whether your wife likes it or not, she is generally considered to be a millenial.
I am just messing around. She is in a spot where she can self-identify so if she feels more like a gen Xer, she can be a gen Xer.Born in 1980. So, no.
I don't do either of those things- in fact I've repeatedly said my guess is that there's no real collusion, just kompromat. But don't let that stop you!Sure thing, guy that fell for TrumpRussia hysteria and reflexively takes intelligence agencies at face value, even after their work on Iraq and long history of lies.

I would consider a can of tuna fish over Trump or PenceMillennial congresswoman: I'm 'seriously considering' running in 2020
Would anyone consider a 37 year old a millenial?
But would you consider MoP over Trump or Pence?I would consider a can of tuna fish over Trump or Pence
And yet too far right on some things.Too far to the left. Makes Kamela look like a conservative.
Please don't project my views for me.And yet too far right on some things.
Plus, the real reason you don't like her is her stance on the Israeli-Palestinian issue...
I agree Dore is a little too at times but I see anything wrong with somebody focusing on highlighting Dems who they may consider DINOs. I agree though that his stance on Trump is baffling but thankfully I don't take any single person or news outlet as gospel and try to think for myself. Some of his stuff is a miss but he has some hits too. I haven't listened to many of his videos for a while so maybe he's gotten worse but overall I've reached a Trump overload and have to take a break every once in while.Dore is part of this weird "alternative progressive" movement that seems largely dedicated to taking down "establishment" Democrats for not putting up enough of a fight against the evils of Trump and the modern GOP instead of focusing on taking down the people actually doing the evil stuff. IMO it's kind of like blaming the Holocaust on France, but
Also since they sided so strongly with Wikileaks back in the Edward Snowden era they've also backed themselves into a corner and now find themselves siding with both Assange and Putin, or at least Putin-approved propaganda (see eg defending Assad against charges of using chemical weapons). It's pretty wild. Glenn Greenwald is maybe the leader of this weird movement.
If you want to see it in real time, watch as they focus their anger on the 5 Dems who voted with the GOP yesterday on the farm bill rider to get the US out of Yemen yesterday and totally ignore the GOP House leader who brought it to a vote and the 200 Republicans who voted the same way. I don't know if they've actually started doing this yet, but it's pretty much a 100% guarantee that they will.
That's not his stance at all. He's pissed at them because they're in bed with the folks doing all of the evil ####, too.Dore is part of this weird "alternative progressive" movement that seems largely dedicated to taking down "establishment" Democrats for not putting up enough of a fight against the evils of Trump and the modern GOP instead of focusing on taking down the people actually doing the evil stuff.
What would you say he's spent more time and energy on- stuff like Cory Booker taking money from pharma companies, or stuff like the family separation policy?Franknbeans said:That's not his stance at all. He's pissed at them because they're in bed with the folks doing all of the evil ####, too.
She is someone who actually served in the military. By choice.Who???????
I like her, she is young. Let's see her during the process. I like her policy stances from a far, let's she her under the microscope.Wish I trusted her in LGBTQ issues. Wish I liked her foreign policy. We’ll see, I guess.
Btw. Her foreign policy issues are Bernies. Mostly. Why she left dnc for bernie campaign.Wish I trusted her in LGBTQ issues. Wish I liked her foreign policy. We’ll see, I guess.
I love Bernie but my serious question marks I had for him were on foreign policyBtw. Her foreign policy issues are Bernies. Mostly. Why she left dnc for bernie campaign.
Just guessing, but this might mean Bernie isn't running.Btw. Her foreign policy issues are Bernies. Mostly. Why she left dnc for bernie campaign.
Syria. Assad.Btw. Her foreign policy issues are Bernies. Mostly. Why she left dnc for bernie campaign.
I know this has been brought up many times about her. Never did a deep dive on it, did you?Syria. Assad.
What are your concerns?I love Bernie but my serious question marks I had for him were on foreign policy
I understand you have differing views, but it is entirely inappropriate for her to have flown to Syria and met with Assad without notifying the government in 2017.I know this has been brought up many times about her. Never did a deep dive on it, did you?
