If a recent gathering in a Merced park is any sign, playing “Pokémon Go” and lamenting over the presidential candidate options for the November election are part of the life of a millennial.

Sorry, I don’t have time to play Pokemon GO. I wish my generation would grow up, and elect Trump. If Hillary gets elected, then we’ll be able to play Pokemon GO, since the $15/hr wage will give us lots of freetime...
