So do I, and their views are neither left nor right. They want smaller government in every facet.

No, it wasn't.

See the difference in how a responsible and forward-thinking nation deals with one mass slaughter versus how we do here in this country with slaughter after slaughter after slaughter?

The Millennials won't stand for this doing nothing while the slaughter continues. Your days are numbered.
What are you going to do about personal gun ownership?

Of course. But the way she's being pushed by both the right and left shows that she is being groomed to be POTUS. She's most likely already a CIA asset.

THAT is the future--not whiny SJW millennials.
The Millennial generation is as large as the baby boomer generation, and they are just now coming into their power as the baby boomers are moving out. And they are not libertarian. More than 2/3rds of them voted Democratic in 2018. Ignore them at your peril.

Cops kill more people in one year than all mass shootings in 10 years.

The U.S. military has slaughtered hundreds of thousands since 2003.

What's your solution to that?

Just because they're socially progressive doesn't mean they want socialism. I know lots of libertarians and anarchists, and we range from extremely socially conservative to libertine AF.

There are plenty of people in our government who could probably have everything they think or say teased apart. A freshman representative who has only been on the job for a few months is a strange target.
She is more than just a blip on the radar considering how many threads those who suffer from AOCDS start on her everyday.

I'm not talking about millennials; I'm talking about the generation following millennials.

Reading comprehension is key.

"Compared to previous generations when they were young in these national surveys, iGen is more likely to support abortion rights, same-sex marriage and legalizing marijuana and less likely to support the death penalty — usually considered liberal beliefs. But they are also less likely to support gun control, national health care and government environmental regulation — usually considered conservative beliefs.

How can iGen hold these seemingly contradictory beliefs? In short, because they’re libertarians (or at least more libertarian than their elders)
."

I'd argue she's being pushed by the left far less than she is by the right. And the amount of media coverage reflects that to some degree: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...vorables-media

Also the types of threads stated by people here about her...I can't recall a positive one.

Who is really making her "a thing"?
