    Not enough millenials and Gen Z are getting off their asses to vote. There is ZERO good reason boomers + Gen X still comprise the majority voting block.

    We just lost the Wisconsin Dem governor primary to an AIPAC allied Dem because of this. Younger people need to get their collective shit together. Its their future that their inaction is fucking up.

      Well that’s just how the world works. The boomers are in retirement age now and have more time to vote. That’s how voting has worked for a very long time, as frustrating as it is.

      If we were a sane country we’d vote on the weekends and automatically register people.

        Work, isn’t a fucking excuse when the alternative is fascism.

        Thats some real pussy ass shit. How can young people en masse scream for revolution, and expect one to happen, if they’re too afraid to take a few hours off of work?

        If that’s the case, we truly are hyper-fucked.

      Honestly there’s plenty of reason for boomers alone to overwhelm Gen Z and millennials at times. Reminder they make up roughly a quarter of the population still and that’s with leftover silent generation, Gen x, Millennials, Gen Z, and Gen alpha being around. Frankly with that much population disparity it makes sense that they are able to overwhelm in some regions depending on demographic factors.

      Then ya throw in Gen x, more specifically generation Jones and ya end up with a bloc that is probably approaching 30-40 percent of the population.
