The Not So Nice Implications of Blue Millennials

Why an overwhelming democratic demographic of millennials is not a victory.

The numbers came in. The Democrats may have lost an election cycle, but they celebrated when they saw the future. Millennials are almost universally voting Democrat.

Let’s go ahead and assume this is true. There has been controversy over it, but I won’t address it here. This means that liberals are fighting the wrong enemy on the college campus. If you want me to be more specific, here’s a couple of things it entails:

1. The campus rape culture liberals rail against is statistically perpetuated by other liberals.

2. Mass shootings and gun violence committed by mostly young men are statistically more likely to be liberal.

3. The vandalism all too common to “peaceful protests” is perpetrated by liberals.

4.This is not a time for celebration. This ought to be a wake-up call.

My liberal friends, you’re fighting the wrong enemy if you believe conservatives are to blame for the pain millennials inflict on each other.

5. Perhaps your consent classes should have more characters with vibrantly colored hair and ear gauges instead of being clean-cut.

If you want to keep your image of diversity, I would also include people of same-sex attraction and more non-white characters.

6. Perhaps you should come clean about the political alignment of the shooters before you start twitter hashtags.

Maybe you should be more honest in your journalism about where the shootings take place. Projecting the problems you have with your own people who don’t understand guns and have no respect for them on people who grow up in a culture of guns who understand them inside and out is tiresome.


My conservative friends, if you have complaints about millennials, your complains are as much against the product of liberalism as it is against the individual you’re complaining about. I encourage you to attack the policies and ideas that motivate millennials rather than attacking the individual.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
