Are you kidding me? We fucking loved Obama in Europe. He was a well-spoken breath of fresh air that made it look like the USA was finally embracing some of the better ideas of the west.

This is 100k cash sitting in a checking account. Not net worth encompassing all investments.

1More Millennial households are in poverty than households headed by any other generation. In 2016, an estimated 5.3 million of the nearly 17 million U.S. households living in poverty were headed by a Millennial, compared with 4.2 million headed by a Gen Xer and 5.0 million headed by a Baby Boomer. The relatively…

Probably depends on where you live. If you’re 37 and have $100k in San Fran, no, you’re not rich. If you’re in Duluth? Maybe.

Having only $100k in retirement savings at 37 isn’t anything to get excited about.

If we’re counting investments and 401ks, that isn’t a big reach. The old end of the millennial workforce would have been working for a little over 10 years.

100K is not “pretty rich” it’s barely anything. Especially if as the author and I suspect that most of those that have 100K+ are at the upper end of the millennial generation, which is approaching 40. They are way behind.

You are right that voting in the mid-terms is vital, but I disagree with the assertion that the Women’s March was “empty symbolism “.

You can get the fuck over yourself and still vote for them because the alternative is a monster.

Did you read the article or just jumped straight into the comments to say something stupid?

It’s not just more voters. Events like this are inspiring more women to run for office. The original march last year resulted in the formation of organizations that are helping women to become more politically active. That can only be a good thing.

I think the “Power to the Polls” theme is really important. You can have the biggest marches, but nothing will truly change if you don’t vote.

I see it differently. I don’t think there would be a #metoo or a #timesup without the Women’s March last year.

It’s not that simple. Some of these Democrats (one of whom is my senator) face an uphill battle to be reelected, seeing as how they come from increasingly reddening blue dog states. If they were primaried and replaced with actual progressives, their seats would easily go to Republicans. Those Republicans would vote…

One might even say they are using it as a .... Bargaining CHIP.

I love how you’re telling me it has nothing to do with brown people yet everyday I see post from racist Trump supporters who say, we’re gonna get rid of you beaners and N words and make America great again. At this point I’ve seen enough hateful and divisive rhetoric from Trump’s base to fill an ocean.

Remember the last government shutdown, when Republicans got 99% of that they wanted and still cried about mean ol’ Democrats making them shut things down? Why don’t you take that “neither party works together” bullshit and choke on it?

The fact that the GOP holds CHIP as a bargaining piece instead of just including it like they should, says enough. These people are monsters. Just fund the damn program instead of using it for political advantage.

ALL BECAUSE CONSERVATIVES WANNA GET RID OF BROWN PEOPLE TO MAKE THEIR SELFISH RACIST BASE HAPPY. #TrumpShutdown WE WON’T FORGET THIS, #GOP! #BlueWave2018

Blame lies all on Trump. Both parties had a solution, they took it to him, he rejected it. Republicans have to try to blame the Democrats because it can’t be the fault of their “precious” leader. They seriously need to stop covering for him and just kick him out.
