How old are you, DUers? (poll) Please vote! lol

[Celerity]

67. I tried hard for the first year or 2 after I joined in 2018 to get some of my friends/schoolmates/

co-workers/students, etc from my 18 to 35 yo cohort to join (Americans, Brits, Swedes mostly, but also some other EU citizens who are fluent in English, a lot of them from Eastern Europe and one Canadian girl, who told me to sod off (in a nice way, lol) after lurking around for a week). I had almost no luck. They almost to a person said the board was not remotely younger people friendly, and were appalled at many of the stances expressed on student loans/debt, electric cars, fracking, and health care affordability etc etc (the American ones only, of course, for that first and last one although uni in the UK is certainly not cheap now either).

Only one of the dozens and dozens stuck, and he (an American bloke I went to uni with in Los Angeles before I joined here, hell, before I had even really heard much about DU, lol) bailed after a few months, as he was/is a huge AOC fan and was pretty argy bargy about how often she was slagged off here (the 2020 primaries was when he finally said fuck it, and left). These people are often very politically active (or at least very aware) too.
