MoveOn.Org Millenials Vs. Trump Critique

I hate Trump too, but this video from MoveOn.org annoys the hell out of me. Check out the video below, and then read why I think this attempt to put a hip spin on voting for Hilary Clinton kills it...in a bad way.

1. If you want to stop perpetuating the stereotype that Millenials are whiny, self-entitled brats, don't make a "PSA" showing a bunch of Millenials  whining about how they're blamed for everything. Like the third person in this piece, I'm "right on the cutoff" between being a Millennial myself and being part of "Generation X," so you could say I know twofold that every generation gets blamed by its predecessors for this and that. And you know what? There is some truth to some of the stereotypes if you look at the groups as a whole. But don't worry kids, the real folks to blame are your parents. 😉

2. This video goes from blasting the generalization of Millenials to generalizing Republicans by openly and completely blaming them for the crisis that is Trump. Um, many Republicans realize Trump is effing crazy.

3. The negativity doesn't stop there. It makes a loop-de-loop across party lines and jumps on the bandwagon of casting Clinton as "the better of two evils." Having to protect the nation against Trump by voting for Clinton appears to make one young woman about to lose her lunch. "I voted for Hilary in the primary," another girl sheepishly admits before looking down at the ground in shame. Way to promote bipartisan bullshit and set low expectations for our future president. Yay, things are looking good.

4. As much as I love Bernie, we've got to give it up. We didn't pick him, okay? The Bernie love going on in this video really dampens our future. We need to support our President if we want her to support us.

5. But then, even Bernie gets insulted! "God, I love that old man," one twenty-something smirks. "Remember the bird?" A female Millenial squeaks with pitch perfect naivety, promoting the concept that Millenials base their votes on memes.

6. The whole thing comes full circle when the Millenials themselves are made to look like morons beyond the meme joke, getting their facts wrong for the sorry sake of humor and really citing more nasty assumptions about Trump's actions rather than actual facts, which does nothing but promote the activity of basing your vote on biased sound bytes. At this point, all this video ends up doing is tarring and feathering every person involved in the election, from the candidates, to the voters. With an ultimate message like that, I hope the budget for this shoot was small.
