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?

    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.

    Gen Y is now the biggest voting bloc as far as generation breakdown.

    If you think all the problems lie with....checks notes....the sixties generation, I have a bridge to sell you.

    Regardless of age, anyone that's voted for either shade of fascism is responsible. Liberals created this mess, conservatives created this mess.

    If you've canvased for the oligarchy you are part of the problem

    I can guarantee you voted for a lighter shade of fascism

    I'm Canadian, and I voted either Libertarian or Green.

    Again, who did you vote for?

    Please answer or I will presume that you either didn't vote, or you voted for Clinton, Biden, and Harris.
