As a boomer-adjacent 60-year-old, with an adult son living at home, it’s the economy, stupid.
But, more than that, the world has gone to shit. And, no, that’s not the boomer generation’s fault. It’s the fault of the billionaires and the ignorant people of all generations who have voted for conservatives over the past 50 years.
Sure but they were alive and voted sometime over the past 50 years. And some of them deffo voted for shit politicians. I’m really not sure what your comment is trying to say.
Greatest and silent generations laughing their asses off at the boomers taking all the heat for the state of the world. Previous generations would also be laughing if they weren’t dead.
You really need to look at the size difference between Boomers and Silent generation to understand how ridiculous that claim is. Not to mention once Boomers started feeling represented their voting participation rates shot up. They have dominated the U.S. political landscape for well over four decades.
I maxed out my donation to Bernie and voted for him. In the 40 years I’ve been voting, I’ve never voted for a conservative, or Republican, neither federal, state nor local. I’ve always voted as far left as I can.
I just ask because I was phone banking for that primary and occasionally I ended up on the phone with a registered Republican for whatever reason. They were cordial and I was able to tell them why I thought Bernie was the best candidate among the Democratic nominees.
You know who was vile though? Registered democratic boomers were furious with me and called Bernie “too radical”.
So I don’t buy it when people try to deflect blame away from boomers for the state of American politics. Registered democratic boomers fight leftists harder than they fight MAGA. 🤷♂️

Millennials were not voting 50 years ago.

Their comment is rightfully pointing out the lions share of responsibility Boomers have for the state of American politics.

And I’m trying to point out that generations are a spook meant to divide us instead of us focussing on the actual problem, billionaires.
No war but class war.
Tell that to the boomers. 🤷♂️
We could have turned out and stopped the boomers but we continued to let them vote us down and, eventually, rig it against us.
Hanging chads!
Who’d you vote for in the 2020 primaries?

Bernie pin:
Damn, you got me. I totally blanked on that primary. Bernie 2.0! Not OP, sorry.

The Democrats really are just republicans trying to “placate the Mr Rogers generations”.
Both parties are filled with ruthless “empathy is weak, every man for himself” assholes. They must be kept as far away from politics as possible.
