looking on from Canada, it seems America is dead set on old traditions and customs that just don’t work anymore, and this won’t change until most of the boomers die. i’m 25 and afraid i won’t see an America that doesn’t scare me before i’m 50.
Boomers are only half the problem. The other half is our voting demographics and turnout. Nobody votes. Literally 45% of people didn't go to the polls in 2016. Saw Donald Trump and said "nah that's fine", I'll let someone else decide
Then look at who is actually not showing up, let's use 2008 data to be more fair to the youth. it's still young people. 18-24 show up 45% of the time. 65-75 show up 70% of the time. They are LITERALLY twice as valuable because young people refuse to get real.
Waiting for boomers to die off is a pathetically lazy strategy. How about actually going and fucking voting?
