Not all Republicans are old.
Yes! I vote for 65 age cap.
Billionaires are ruining it. Don’t let the NYT shift the blame.
The boomers that vote for far right grifters and are happy to pull up the ladder behind themselves certainly deserve a share of the blame too.
Not all boomers. Sorry, blaming “boomers” is rather naive.
I’ve been around long enough to remember boomers blaming all the things on Silent/Greatest Generation. They had all the answers and could not wait to take over.
Just sayin’ - I’m starting to see a pattern here.
The problem with boomers, though, is that they formed such a large voting block that their generation has been able to steer the political system in the US. We started seeing change in the 90s and it was gaining momentum in the early 00s, but the reactionaries went full tilt on fascism as a result.
This is a gross oversimllified take so please don’t think it’s meant as any kind of scholarly dissertation.
Gen Y is the largest generation right now.
All of voting age. Followed by Gen Z (not all of voting age - yet), then Gen X, then boomers.
I mean, what happened in the past as you describe as a result of the huge numbers of boomers is entirely possible. I’m Gen X, so believe it when I say I have my share of resentments about how we were overshadowed nearly our entire lives by boomers, and then the spotlight jumped right to Gen Y, but all because of numbers, and not any unique traits to either Gen Y or boomers or to Gen X.
But at this point, blaming boomers for what is happening now is rather…interesting, I have to say. They are the 4th largest group.
What kind of loser spends their free time going around defending boomers?
Now you’re calling us losers?
You haven’t answered a single one of my questions in any of my comments you’ve responded to.
No war but class war, brother
Agreed. And Boomers picked the side of the capitalists.
Haven’t most of each age group over 15 sided/side with capitalists?
No.
How many Gen Xers to Gen Z vote for socialism?
Ive been a socialist since the late 1980s. I know many other GenX that are the same.
Are you an American who has voted for a party other than Democrat or Republican?
Im LibSoc, so neither. You keep asking everyone who they voted for in this thread… Kind of sus
They have you focused on old people so you are distracted from the fact that capitalism is the problem
This is the answer. The fad (psyop?) of blaming “boomers” for all the world’s ills is annoying AF.
My bad. Who votes for these senators, members of congress and presidential candidates in the primaries?
Anymore over the age of 18
Lol. You’d rather look like an idiot than lay any blame at the feet of boomers huh?
As someone who has phone banked and canvassed in multiple primaries: It’s boomers.
