    If that is what you think you haven’t understood my logic.

    My generation is millennial. Our majority supported Clinton in 2016, Biden in 2020, and Harris in 2024.

    Boomers as a voting cohort have always turned out disproportionately to give majority support to bad candidates.

      Yes ,millenials elected Trump twice, because your generation was alive when he was elected.

      That’s the logic your using to ascribe every previous bad decision to every boomer. By your logic, you are to blame for Trump being elected.

      Again, it’s not boomers who did this to you, it’s the rich.

        That isn’t the logic I’m using though. You’re refuting an argument I’m not making.

        The majority of the boomer voting bloc elected these politicians and supported the policies of the rich. Their entire adult lives the majority of their voting bloc time and again supported terrible regressive policies.

        That isn’t true of millennials.

        To the extent we can look at a generation’s consistent and prevailing political activity, we can fault the boomers.

        Sam Altman wanting to be a billionaire doesn’t excuse them.
