36. I think a lot of younger blood feels left out

Feb 2018

I know (I'm 37) that I've seen several posts that scream GET OFF MY LAWN and bash people for doing things like using smartphones instead of landlines.

There was also another that screamed age discrimination at a group who's main goal is to build a bench of young Democratic elected officials.

If you (generic) want younger people here, you need to be careful about posts that would turn them off.
