  1. And these Gen Z'ers have been brainwashed by liberal teachers. Makes sense

  2. NO MORE BS FROM OLD POLITICIANS ON THE HILL. US GEN-Z COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE THAT THE COUNTRY NEEDS

  3. Conservative, mean white nationalist to me. I don't care what age they are. They would have white nationalists leading. They can come but I know what I am hearing from white ppl no matter how old they are.

  4. Just what need- more MAGAttes..

  5. Republicans count the votes, good luck running against the insurrectionists.

  6. No more trump loyalists please

  7. The 25 yo Republican, She’s young but brainwashed.

  8. 100% agree!! Florida needs quality representation.

  9. I would absolutely cheer if DeSantos got the boot

  10. How can a child believe climate change is a hoax??? Seriously ?? from a conservative standpoint green energy and other alternatives can be really lucrative for communities with tax break incentives . We are doomed

  11. Be nice if we didn't have media and tech tyrants pushing the same people.

  12. Gen z soft sensitive politically correct pussies

  13. Bottom line is every cohort should have fair representation in congress.

  14. Just what we need more AOC's!! Our country is in the worst shape in 40 years!

  15. Gen Z is youngest members are 26….not a baby we should be in politics were adults now

  16. It's hilarious that the republican candidate has no policy ideas, thinks that conservatives need to work on their messaging. Another fake, gonna make 174k a year for winning a popularity contest. Our government is broken, and this dipstick isn't gonna help. Js

  17. Yes we need change !
    Term limits for Congress.
    We need to follow the constitution of the United States of America!
    The blue print is there we need representation that follows the constitution.
    And NOT agendas!!!!
    NO special interest money for candidates.
    As of right now there is absolutely NO political candidate that I support!
    I want a candidate to put America's needs first!
    But follow the constitution!!
    We have the right to own gun's ! Hunt / target shoot YES
    NO one has the right to shoot people = JAIL

    Hold criminals accountable!
    Free speech just because you don't like it doesn't matter.
    Aka banding book's absolutely NO!!!
    Gay be what you want but DO NOT push it on me!
    Don't try and band some things just because You don't like it.
    People have a right make our own decisions with in the frame work of the bill of rights & constitution & law's of the United States of America.
    All for the second amendment 👍
    Gay rights NOT my thing.
    Girl for guys.

    America needs to stop policing the world.

  18. Tell the woke ones to stay away from America. Right now Americans are only using words and the courts to oppose woke stupidity. Violence against woke fools trying to indoctrinate our children is next. People are tired of liberals trying to introduce gay,trans and crt lies being taught to our children without consent. If woke stupidity is not legally stopped, then people will start hurting, or killing the offenders. That is just how things work. If i still had a child in school, i would personally stop my school from teaching woke ideology by peaceful means if possible. By outright force if needed. Keep your creepy sexual, racist and socialist liberal Democrat ideas to yourself. Leave our children out of this stupidity of wokeness.

  19. I hope they understand history is all. Empaths won’t solve every problem

  20. Trump aide conservative… “We need to fix the message”

    Maybe stop denying science, stop trying to delete women’s rights, stop working with cults and wht nationalists. Also, stop spreading disinformation. She’s clearly not bright if she wants to go down that election fraud BS. So if she loses she will cry fraud but if she wins then everything went well. Common republican talking points.

  21. Biden is surrounded by anti American new arrivals in the White House. These people will want him to drag us into a war. We the people, must not allow this to happen. This cartel press will be dismantled, since its common knowledge they bat for the same globalist movement.

  22. « Conservative » voices? That’s where they go wrong.

    They need to stop thinking in terms of their party and start thinking about their policy. AI can play a big role in making countries less dependent on greedy politicians and better help make decisions for improving quality of life of the population.

  23. With the median age being in the late 30’s it would be nice to have more younger people speaking for us

  24. I say keep kids out of politics……

  25. Zoomers and boomers. Both outraged over everything. Can’t wait to see the debates.

  26. Whatever senator sung at 9/11 should not be holding their Senate seats in 2022. Mitch McConnell Nancy pelosi Ted Cruz must go out with the old era in with the new.

  27. They're just young people saying the same things that old people are saying. Trump was a prime example of how disastrous someone with zero XP in politics can be when given a leadership role.

  28. if your sick of your normal propaganda check out tass, a russian news outlet that has info the media will not show

  29. Fresh Commies generation:
    Green new Deal
    Climate Change
    Critical Race Theory
    Defund the Police

  30. With the median age being in the late 30’s it would be nice to have more younger people speaking for us

  31. ❗HUNTER BIDEN financed biological laboratories in Ukraine via Rosemont Seneca Investment Fund❗
    An investment fund led by Hunter Biden is involved in financing bio-laboratories in Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

    Thirty Ukrainian laboratories located in 14 settlements were involved in full-scale military biological activities, the Russian Defense Ministry noted.

  32. ❗HUNTER BIDEN Fund financed biological laboratories in Ukraine via Rosemont Seneca Investment Fund❗
    The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the involvement of the investment fund Rosemont Seneca, which is led by Hunter Biden, in the financing of biological laboratories in Ukraine

    At the same time, there is a close relationship between the fund and the main contractors of the US military department, including Metabiota, which, along with Black and Veach, is the main supplier of equipment for Pentagon biolaboratories around the world, the agency said.

    In addition to the Pentagon, the program is directly involved in the implementation of the program by the US Agency for International Development, the Soros Foundation and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention – and scientific supervision is carried out, among others, by the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which develops nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project, says the Ministry of Defense.

    The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the United States and its allies removed at least 16,000 bioassays from Ukraine – for example, in the UP-8 project in Lvov, Kharkov, Odessa and Kyiv, blood samples were taken from 4,000 soldiers for antibodies to hantaviruses, from 400 – for antibodies to Crimean-Congo fever virus.

    Such a large-scale screening of the natural immunity of the population was probably carried out in order to select biological agents that are most dangerous for the population of a certain region, the ministry said.

    According to him, not only human biosamples were exported abroad, but also dangerous pathogens, as well as their carriers, among the recipients are the Lugar Center in Georgia, reference laboratories in Britain and the Loeffler Institute in Germany.

    The situation with the distribution of pathogenic biomaterials from Ukraine to European countries can lead to deaths and the creation of an epidemiological focus, the scale of which will be comparable to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Defense says.

  33. To change the face of Congress, they have to reflect all minority groups.

  34. Gen z? Trick looks 35

  35. Gen Z, hurry TF up & get these 🤡's like Cruz, Graham, & "Uncle Mitch bihhh" TFOH. (Signed, Gen X & I approve this message)

  36. As a millennial, I am incredibly proud of how Gen Z has taken the lead on racial justice, climate change, and labor rights! They are far more progressive than any other generation in the US!

  37. We need Term Limits for Congress!! We’ve had senators and congress that have been there for 40 yrs like a Dictator!

  38. If we can’t get rid of the current old parties. Maybe we can get rid of the old politicians in those parties. I just hope those young people develop some fresher ideas. They seem to be borrowing too many from the old guard.

  39. Some of them are young and unexperienced. Yes we do need young politicians but saying something is different then actually doing it. I was talking to a young person who was working as some aid in politics and it was hard communicating ones view since he kept of going against everything about another party, and when I mentioning about not wanting to talk about politics he just kept on going on for a while when it was not even necessary. Very rude, similar to several older politicians. A lot of people have fresh eyes but a lot of them don't get elected that fast because it takes a lot of influence and sometimes money. If there is a good candidate for political positions I personally don't care much about age but about a certain level of experience, and perseverance. Be able prove that what they says either stays consistent or shows in their actions. Wish them well if they are able to make America better in the future, for the people.
