    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.

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

        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.

        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.

        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!
