The poll, released on May 30 by Atlas Intel, found Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and former transportation secretary in the Biden administration, to be the top pick among Democrats who responded to the survey.
A total of 31.5% of self-identified Democrats who responded to the poll said they would vote for Buttigieg for president in four years, according to the poll.
Other surveys in May from firms such as Echelon Insights and McLaughlin & Associates have found Harris in first place in the hypothetical primary, making Atlas Intel’s poll stand out among the rest.
Harris is the third most popular pick among Democrats in the poll, falling behind U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
“64 here and very tuned in. I think the disconnect is more a matter of wealth and socioeconomic status than age.”
“74 here and very tuned in. I think the disconnect is more a matter of wealth and socioeconomic status than age.”
“84 here and very tuned in. I think the disconnect is more a matter of wealth and socioeconomic status than age.”
“94 here and very tuned in. I think the disconnect is more a matter of wealth and socioeconomic status than age.”
I’m sure there is someone at those ages that say the exact same thing. So do you have an issue with any of those ages being in charge of a nation that younger generations will inherit and have to survive in?
It’s not about you anymore. It’s the very fact that older generations can’t get over themselves that caused a gap in wealth and socioeconomic status. The Boomer’s nickname is literally the “Me Generation” because everything is about “me”. Now they are in their 60’s-70’s and everything is still about them.
Who created the current wealth and socioeconomic status? Who voted to stop increasing minimum wage? Who voted to keep the status quo? Who voted to decrease taxes on the wealthy? Who voted to remove social programs to help lift people out of poverty. Who created the 2008 Recession just when Millennials were coming of age and starting their own lives. Who is creating all the current economic problems now? A fucking 78 vindictive POS.
And now you’re making a statement that Gen X should stay in the conversation. Gen X were given the world on a silver platter in the 80’s through the Aughts and what did you all do with it? Millennials have literally never been in charge.
Yes, I am mad. I have every right to be.
As a millennial I get your anger, but the guy you’re responding to is right. An average working boomer had no more say in the policies enacted than you or I and the majority will be flat broke by the time they die, outlook isn’t much better for Gen X either. The establishment has done a wonderful job running us around and keeping us focused on the wrong fights. They’ve done it so well that even saying it sounds like a conspiracy theory to me when I know it to be true.
The tax rates for the ultra wealthy need to be increased to post WW2 levels, we need to get corporate money out of politics and the news. The people in power hold nearly all the cards and have convinced everyone the cards we hold are useless or immoral. The truth is we need better ways to organize and connect with local like-minded people to pool resources, hinder competition and bring the oligarchs down.
