Now, the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign is nodding to her summer job to highlight her upbringing and a platform to boost American workers that stands in stark contrast to her Republican rival Donald Trump, who “has no plan to help the middle class — just more tax cuts for billionaires,” according to a recent ad.

Things must be getting really bad if the president needs a second job…

Particularly if that second job is McDonald’s. Nothing wrong with that job, just not the best job I’d think a president could get.

With the price of McDonald’s these days, she may be just doing it for the employee discount.

Oh, that’s probably why conservatives fear her. Not the legal background.

She doesn’t just relate to millennials and younger, she’s suffered like millennials and younger

She’s gen-x

Gen-x got fucked over big time in a way we millenials didn’t, but only because the expectation for them was so much higher. They got almost the same raw deal we did without the previous generation to buffer them.

They shouted and raised the alarm bells about what was being done to millenials and younger.

Lots of gen x slipped right in with the boomers and have their life, but many many more are out here struggling with us millennials except they didn’t grow up in a world where it was apparent it was slipping from them.

Gen-xers are gonna be huge for us honestly.

My parents and my girlfriend’s parents were both gen x. Mine bought a house in the 90s and lived the middle class dream. Nothing fancy but regular camping trips and occasional vacations. Girlfriend’s got destroyed by the 08 crash and grew up in borderline poverty. We are in vastly different places financially and it’s pretty fucked.

She jokes that I tell my parents “mummy look, I’ve adopted a poor” in an English accent.

The worst part is my mom recently told me to invest in real estate because it only goes up. I’m like “yeah because old fucks like you hoard it and reduce the supply so nobody my age can afford one.” Love them but damn they’re boomer brained sometimes.

She’s actually born one year before gen x, so god willing the next president will be a millenial and we’ll totally skip over ever having a gen x president

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
