Millennials have been able to vote for decades now don’t see it making any difference. And no Gen Z or Alpha is not going to save anything as there are people who well vote right in every age bracket.
Can’t be a candidate until you are at least 35, pretty much. Millennials are just now getting to the right amount of experience in politics and age group to run for political positions.
Millennials have been able to vote for decades now don’t see it making any difference.
Turns out this generation is just as susceptible to propaganda and misinformation as every prior generation. I guess this means we can stop saying “Blame the Boomers” every time the country shits the bed?
And no Gen Z or Alpha is not going to save anything
Millennials might be the tail end of the Fuck Around generation, depending on how we wrap up the 2020s.
Gen z & α aren’t going to have the luxuries of cheap(ish) real estate, surplus fossil fuels, abundant exploitable labor and materials, or a financial sector squatting on the esophagus of international trade. We broke all the post-Cold War levers of international control. We’re very likely going to be dealing with one or two more self-inflicted pandemics, if RFK Jr has his way. And our most lucrative satraps - Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Canada - aren’t going to be in a position to prop us up if we tank the global economy again, like we did in '08, '14, and '20.
Maybe this will curb our worst impulses. Maybe Gen z won’t be as inclined to carpet bomb a Middle Eastern country or a South American coastline if we’ve long since burned ourselves out of anti-ballistic interceptors and seaworthy aircraft carriers. Or maybe they’ll reinvent fascism from first principles and just invade Ottowa because it’s easier. Idfk.
But I do think we’re far downstream of Allen Dulles doing regime change across half the world from a smoke-filled room in Langley. We’re far downstream of white flight into suburban sprawl and every middle-income family owning a fleet of SUVs and everyone having a childhood memory of vacationing in Disney World and this one weird guy becoming a billionaire because he’s the first guy in the country who thought about importing screwdrivers from China. The next generations are not going to have the raw materials to replicate what prior generations performed. They will have to behave differently by necessity.
I mean, I’ve voted every time since I was able to. Even in primaries once I realized they were a thing and you could participate if you were independent.
And with them goes an entire world that was devoted to them, advertising to them, proselytizing them, indoctrinating them.
It might be hard for the world to adjust, honestly, it’s been so damn long. And the boomers that are still around think they’re going to live forever, from the small sample size I know of.
Many voters have been disillusioned. Why bother voting, if it’s just the same two brands of getiatric cunts.
What seems to be changing, as far as I can tell, is that they’re developing a sense for the power of primaries and more regional elections to shift the position of the less malignant brand.
The best indicator of success is the reaction of the Dem leadership: They weren’t as concerned about losing to the Reps as they were about this “insurrection” threatening their slow, balanced slide by actually tugging on that rope.

People don’t really start to vote until they are 40.
I mean, I’ve voted every time since I was able to. Even in primaries once I realized they were a thing and you could participate if you were independent.
What you’re forgetting is boomers are dying.
That’s really the important part.

They really do act like they will live forever.
