Baby boomers comprised a larger share of voters in 2024, accounting for 32%, but they are trending lower after hitting a peak of 36% in 2016.
Ocasio-Cortez, a millennial herself, expects the younger generation will soon tip the scales in American politics.
“Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We’re grown adults with mortgages and kids,” she said. “And we—that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, sidelined, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us on everything from the economy to climate. And we’re taking the reins.”
From global warming to debt crisis to lack of affordable health insurance (all intentional), Boomers have definitely overstayed their welcome.
Cool, thanks for the utterly useless straw man reply where you reduce my own more nuanced take into this idiotic "oh okay so then it must be this cartoon version of what you said".
I'm not taking the side of boomers at all. They're uniquely deranged and damaging to us all, and have been that way for decades.
Take whatever you want from my POV, not a lot of point in discussing with you further.
