The Generation Gap on DU is real

259. Is anyone here running for office?

If they are, Brenda is correct that climate change is an issue we should discuss more, and one especially important to the youth vote.

Brenda, have you started any discussions about climate? Sounds like it would be welcome by the youth as well as "old boomers" like me on this site. Many of us have children and grandchildren we are concerned about that will have to survive on this planet long after we are gone.

Given that this site is diverse, I think all kinds of discussions are appropriate, particularly ones already being discussed in the media because those discussions are already causing bias in the general population. We need to discuss those here, whether young people find them interesting or not.

There are a lot of subjects that are pertinent to one population or the other, but we are all connected in some way or the other: some of us are raising the children of our children; some of us may be caregiving a grandparent or parent. All the issues affect all of us in some way.

If you feel there are not enough posts about a given subject, I hope you will post about it.
