I've written about the upcoming 2020 Presidential candidates and then by luck, a video by the company Jubilee appeared on my YouTube timeline and it was "Can Democrats and Republicans See Eye to Eye?" Jubilee produces some amazing videos with their "Middle Ground" series and I look forward to them — this video got extremely heated and I felt the tension through my phone, but some of the questions that were asked did make sense. Only two out of the six participants were young adults (I'm not sure of their age), so it made me wonder — do all millennial republicans and democrats think alike? I was going to leave it at just those two parties since they are more well-known than other parties, but I decided that I wanted to include all millennials who vote in every party from the age 18 to 25.

The first question I asked was a basic one: What is your political party?

41.2% said they are democrats, 35.3% are Independents, and surprisingly only 23.5% are republicans. I was surprised by the number of independents that had participated, and how little the Republican Party was represented.

Next, I made a statement similar to one in the video by Jubilee. "My views are different than my family's."

41.2% said no and 58.8% said yes. My family and I view politics the same way, but I know some people who don't view politics the same as their family. The same results were for the statement, "I have felt threatened over my political views." I find it scary that as millennials, we're being threatened over how we believe. I understand that universal agreeance is one of the things that is nearly impossible, but how can we hold conversations, rational conversations at that, if we can't express our views freely without being killed or threatened? I know there are people who do show their views and I commend you for doing so and being proud of it.

In my article about how President Trump used to scare me, I said that during the 2016 election, I saw friendships ruined, so I wondered how many others have lost friends over political debates.

47.1% said they have lost friends and 52.9% said they haven't. Losing friends is hard in itself, but to lose a friend over a political debate is even harder.

Because I aimed this towards millennials, I asked if the 2020 Presidential Election would be their first major election they are able to vote in; 52.9% said yes, myself included in the data and 47.1% said this wouldn't be their first major election. I've said this once and I'll say it again if you have the ability to vote, VOTE! Don't complain about things if you didn't take the initiative to vote when you had a chance to see a change happen and don't "not vote" because you don't like anyone running or any other cockamamie reason.

The interviewer said, "The media misconstrues my party," so I asked this because as a journalism major, I wanted to know this personally, too.

23.5% said no compared to 76.5% who said yes. Ironically enough, I wrote about how the media is pinned as the bad guy a while ago.

"I feel that as a young adult, I am not heard."

41.2% said no and 58.8% said yes. Whether older generations want to believe it and accept it, we are the ones who will be running this nation pretty soon and those old fashioned notions aren't working anymore. We have ideas, so let us share them and please do not tear us down when we are speaking.

"America has to be made great again or else we fail those who came before us."

52.9% said no and 47.1% said yes. I think that right now, we're failing them because of the fighting and constant arguing. They fought and died for us so we wouldn't have the same issues they did. In the video, the phrase "Make America Great Again" came up and this is where everything got heated — it means different things to different people. For some, it's about race and for others its about economic growth. It really depends on you and your views, but the bottom line is to always be courteous of your neighbor's belief of what this phrase means.

"I try my best to make America great."

94.1% said yes and 5.9% said no. We should all try our best to make America great, in our own way. Don't liter. Don't fight. Don't kill. These are easier said than done, but society needs to come together to be great, not "great again."
