Opinion | AliciaMenendez: As much as GenZ and millennials are assessing Democrats as a political party, they are looking to them to prove that our government can make good on real change. They are looking to them to affirm their faith in America.

Drew Angerer / Getty ImagesThe future of America loomed large over Donald J. Trump’s second impeachment trial. The two youngest voting generations were the most fervent in wanting to see the former president held accountable.

In advance of Trump’s second impeachment, younger voters were more focused on accountability for the former president than Republicans writ large. Pre-trial focus groups by HIT Strategies, a Democratic polling firm, found that while voters under 40 saw some Republican members of Congress as complicit in the attack, they ultimately blamed Trump for what had transpired.

Beyond partisanship, I wonder how Trump's skirting punishment yet again is informing their perception of American democracy. But beyond partisanship, I wonder how Trump's skirting punishment yet again is informing their perception of American democracy. Each generation is affected by the public events that coincide with their coming of age. For older millennials like myself, the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistangeneration’s understanding of America’s place on the world stage and curbed our appetite for unilateral international action.

Alyssa_Milano AliciaMenendez The young need to be taught finances. Who is going to pay for all of this FREE STUFF?

Alyssa_Milano AliciaMenendez As long as Pelosi and Schumer are running things, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.

Alyssa_Milano AliciaMenendez I dunno, I see one side trying to obstruct everything the other side attempts to even say while performing actions that destroy their communities. The Democratic party does not display the narrative that they try to put out there.

AliciaMenendez Kill the filibuster or lose the senate in two years.

AliciaMenendez How sad to see our public schools turn our children into communists. They think socialism is freedom, that's how confused they've become. To deprogram them will take decades if it ever could be done.

Alyssa_Milano AliciaMenendez That is the difference in philosophy. Anyone looking to government to change their lives is looking in the wrong place.

Alyssa_Milano AliciaMenendez I'm not TRUMP 2024

Alyssa_Milano AliciaMenendez We need 2 show younger ppl that the democrats are at least the party of democracy, the party of inclusiveness, of compassion, grace an determination 2 TRY 2 do what's right even if we HAVE 2 make compromises. We need 2 win more n reject the hate the Qpubs spew

Alyssa_Milano AliciaMenendez Do you know that the democratic party founded the KKK. Know your history

AliciaMenendez Good luck with that! I've been waiting for 60 years!

AliciaMenendez They should also look into how government (this one) works.

Alyssa_Milano AliciaMenendez POTUS VP TeamPelosi

AliciaMenendez Gosh I hope so, God Bless

Alyssa_Milano AliciaMenendez They will be sadly disappointed.

ReesusP AliciaMenendez The kids are growing up right. Despite the obstacles we set before them

AliciaMenendez And we must show the world that Democracy is the The Shining Light that all look to and see on this Hill we have given our lives for, for over 200 years. democracy is. It an experiment , but Gods good works that help people and serve its people

AliciaMenendez And if the Dems fall short and millennials lose their faith in Democracy? Then what?

AliciaMenendez Then do what Boomers did: knock on doors, make calls, do grassroots organizing. Don’t expect anything to be handed to you. Work for it.

AliciaMenendez If millennials want free college join the fucking military.

AliciaMenendez Aren’t we all?

AliciaMenendez Millennials are looking for a HANDOUT. They want Government to provide for their every wants and needs. They do not want to put in the hard work. REINSTATE THE DRAFT.

AliciaMenendez What little idiots. Democrats were the party of the KKK.

AliciaMenendez The machine wishes that were the case.

AliciaMenendez Clowns in power only paint faces.

AliciaMenendez They need to look for change in themselves because the government sure ain't going to do anything but use them for their own advantage. Change comes from the American people, the government will only further divide us

AliciaMenendez Millennials will definitely make a difference in real change to our democracy. They are open minded; intelligent; and real warriors.

AliciaMenendez If KamalaHarris & JoeBiden can't deliver on a $15 minimum wage Trump might become president again... 15minwage

AliciaMenendez Call them in their 20s or 30s. This 'Gen?' is bs.

AliciaMenendez I am looking for new, good friends

AliciaMenendez

AliciaMenendez They're also assessing mainstream news coverage because all of you suck

AliciaMenendez Yes. Look to the other party of fascists. That’s all you need to know. Vote for democrats.

AliciaMenendez Fight for this:

AliciaMenendez I doubt that I don't think any of them even though there are three branches of government and if they thought there were three branches they could not name them

AliciaMenendez Never trust the government

AliciaMenendez So am I. And I'm 65.

AliciaMenendez They all need to participate and vote in all elections!

AliciaMenendez I'm from the govt and I'm here to help.

AliciaMenendez With the uprising of Trump’s BS again I’m asking my fellow Republicans to stop the donations to all these Republican Senators and a call out to the DOJ & FBI to move swiftly to convict Trump for his crimes to get him out of public view! Send him to Guantanamo for life!

AliciaMenendez Yes, and the more they participate the more it will happen. They can't sir it out and change anything.

AliciaMenendez 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂

AliciaMenendez FUCK YOU,MANIPULATION

AliciaMenendez If the News Media would show honesty and quit baiting people, there would be a better chance of unity. Your critisizm should be reserved for the Political Poison Pelosi. I guess that relief check wasn't so important after all. She needs that tunnel more than the check.

AliciaMenendez Prepare to be disappointed sunshine

AliciaMenendez Bombing Syria was a big W 💪💣🔥

AliciaMenendez thanks for this news

AliciaMenendez Notice how the so called crazy and hateful people are not trying to silence or cancel anyone. The ones who accuse others of hate are the ones cancelling and silencing. So, who REALLY are the hateful and bigoted ones? Ouch.

AliciaMenendez They’re gonna be looking for a long time. Neither party truly delivered for the American people in decades

AliciaMenendez May they grow their participation. With participation comes awareness.

AliciaMenendez Real “good” and change happens at the community level. It means tutoring kids so they can excel. It is including alone seniors in their lives. It is escorting those who need a hand to the doctor and making sure they understand their meds. Stop ONLY demanding and be a part of life

AliciaMenendez The enthusiasm for Obama from youth and minorities dissipated when he was hamstrung from effective change by purely obstructionist Republicans. Praying Biden/Harris are the right team for the right time--despite no-good Republicans.

AliciaMenendez

AliciaMenendez The only way to move forward is to get rid of Trumpism which means voting them out! There will be no change until then.

AliciaMenendez CNN nytimes washingtonpost Disappointing so far. Seeing how McConnell has been able to roll over Dems in the senate when it comes to progressive policies is disconcerting. DNC should be taking the battle to GOP for the mid term but are sitting on their backsides

AliciaMenendez I’m GenX and am looking for my faith to be restored too!

AliciaMenendez What about Gen Xer's?

AliciaMenendez If you go by what they want, they should be supporting the Green Party.

AliciaMenendez Our system is designed to allow which ever party is in minority to still have great influence. A 50-50 senate and Manchin/Sinema means Democrats will struggle. It will be slow gains not immediate change for a long while. A single election is not enough.

AliciaMenendez Also, we need to get rid of the Electoral College, the 2/3rds vote, AND the mostly rhetorical filibuster. All of which is just a waste of time. Imagine what could get done in the House and Senate if there wasn't so much horse manure being tossed around constantly.

AliciaMenendez 😷💉GOVERNMENT IS ALL PEOPLE HAVE RIGHT NOW IN THIS LIFE 2 RELY UPON 2 HELP THEM ALL OVER THE WORLD🌎 *GOD ALLOWS GOVERNMENT TO LIBERATE 🗽 THE PEOPLE FROM POVERTY🗽 Romans 13: 1-3🙏God is the SUPERIOR AUTHORITY over all even government. *God EXPECTS government show LOVE❤️2 ALL

AliciaMenendez To the Zs: Obstructionists, and oppositionists. What the 'O' stands for in GOP. To lock horns only for the sake of doing so. Logic and reason need not apply. This nation requires only one deliberational assembly in the house and senate. Parties are only an invitation to division.

AliciaMenendez If they can take voting rights from people of color, they'll take them from every American. Democrats need to spell this out to white voters who tend to prioritize money above most other issues.

AliciaMenendez So far not good. 40+ executive orders. Bombing foreign country. Back tracked over student loan forgiveness. Still no stimulus cheques. 1 trillion for friends of democrats in proposed stimulus. Bernie shafted. BLM abandoned without any voice. Even more kids in cages.

AliciaMenendez Generation X is still waiting to see it 😒😒😒

AliciaMenendez we all need it.

AliciaMenendez Better pass $15 soon DNC or you could lose a real opportunity to show you can do something.

AliciaMenendez Biden is making a difference, he’s introducing change for the better, will take time, but great signs so far.

AliciaMenendez *America's democracy

AliciaMenendez NO, THEY need to get involved in the Democratic process, politics is not helicopter parenting. Whilst they wait for the government to make good on real change, the other half of the American political spectrum is sliding into autocracy. GET OFF TIKTOCK and get involved!

AliciaMenendez Not looking great so far

AliciaMenendez 66% of millennial are progressive 70% of gen Z are. So unless Democrats start becoming populist and supporting popular ideas of the American people they too will be fractured gen Z and Millennials are voting active they will decimate both parties if they don't get what they need

nakesha_horsey AliciaMenendez Have you actually interviewed many different state millennials and Gen z? Or are you just guessing what we think.

AliciaMenendez Meanwhile the Biden administration is bombing Syria without congressional approval.

AliciaMenendez Failing to sanction MBS for murder is a massive failure to that & bowing down to R's & the Parliamentarian & choosing not to fight harder for $15/hr is also a massive failure that doesn't have to be made.

AliciaMenendez Spoiler alert: they won’t
