I was listening to a podcast the other day featuring two hard-left Americans in their late 30s. I won’t name names

The author claims that leftist podcasters are apathetic to social issues. After reading, I'm pretty sure that the only millennial podcaster this dipshit watched was Tim Pool.

Just as some boomers felt their progressive views on civil rights and feminism justified indifference — or hostility — to the gay rights movement that came later, aging millennials who feel they’ve proved themselves supportive of gay rights may find prissy and frivolous the younger generation’s insistence on things such as pronoun introductions and perfectly race- and gender-balanced workplaces.

Wut?

However, a shared loathing of the liberal establishment is probably the right’s most convincing case for leftist conversion.

If you hate libs, it means you are dumb and susceptible to right wing brain washing.

Fueled in part by anti-liberal animus, Sanders-to-Trump voters were a well-documented phenomenon that helped Republicans retake the White House in 2016.

There it is. Preemptively laying the blame for November's mid term losses on millennial leftists because they are *checks notes* apathetic.

      Yeah. Sanders voters came out for Hillary in large numbers. The whole narrative around why Hillary lost is cope and lies.

        Also, like the libs were saying for the first 2 years after the election, Hillary won the fucking popular vote by 3 million people. So i don't know why they keep harping on and on about Sander's voters not doing enough.

      More Hillary supporters voted for John McCain in '08 than Bernie supporters that switched to Trump in 2016.

      I'm sure the Hillary supporters who switched didn't like Obama on purely policy related grounds, and no other reason factored in their decision too.
