Are you praising Biden for equities and real estate growth from 2020-23?

That’s the truth.
Yet, you believe it like a child believes in the toothfairy, and with an identical basis. It is pathetic.
In doing so, you become a federal government patsy.

My point is the boomers have given us a shite sandwich of elected leaders and foreign policy.
And my point is you/younger generations have done the same. Boomers have been outnumbered by younger voters since about 2000. Millennials alone have outnumbered boomers for ten years.

he fact that Bernie, AOC, Mamdani, and other progressives exist doesn't automatically mean there's a coordinated plot to "take over" the Democratic Party.
But there is a plot. No communist can be elected. No avowed socialist can get elected. Well at least before this year. So they attach themselves to the Democrat party who stupidly takes on their goals. And if someone pushes back, they are primary'd and lose. See Joe Crowley previously and the Jewish Dan Goldman now. This will be a rinse and repeat until they are finished. These Mamdani types don't like Jews.
And I stand by Bernie Sanders who was told to sit down when he challenged Hillary Clinton. He would have won. Yes, he is a socialist who ran in Vermont as an Independent but ran in the democrat primary. And he is still in the senate as an Independent. Not a democrat, though his underlings run in the democrat party. He is in the process of taking over the party. what remains is how a democrat in Ohio will feel about DSA communists taking over their party?

Signed Boomers
FIFY
You took something and made it worse.
How very Boomer of you.

No shite. Growth occurred during the period I mentioned at unprecedented levels. Prior to the numbers you’re touting as the greatest wealth transfer in the history of the planet, boomer wealth was about 36% less. Was it worth it?

Again, there isn’t going to be some sudden influx of cash for men like me to manage for your children. I’m out of the finance game except for a few select clients because I made enough to get out on my terms before I turned 40, but my point is that the vast majority of boomers have no intention of leaving anything for the generations after them.
Not all, of course. If you’re among that group I applaud you, but your angst is misguided.

Yes, I’m the fed patsy while simultaneously correctly describing the expanse that has occurred at the federal (and state to a lesser extent) level thanks to boomers. That’s what has been truly unprecedented.
Get a grip, old man!

Very, very, very little is worse by past comparisons to the present.
Despite your emotional sensitivities holding the contrary.
Here is the summary: You took something with zero appreciation:
Zero appreciation as to what you took, its worth, the effort others underwent to attain it, or of the GenY silver spoon it represented in your mouth since birth.

First thing in the battle is fix the voting fraud. That'll be a good start.
2nd, got to stop the money fraud perpetrating on the US government. Get a handle on the money and get it back in the peoples hands, don't collect it in the first place. This is the exact opposite of the socialist/communist. Good luck.

Political coalitions evolve. Calling every ideological shift a “takeover” makes politics sound more like an espionage novel than a primary election.
If Democratic voters choose progressive candidates, that’s not evidence of a conspiracy. It’s evidence that those candidates won votes.
You’re free to argue the party has moved left. That’s a political observation. But turning it into a secret plot doesn’t add evidence. It just adds drama.

Hey man, we didn't start the fire.
I suggest that when the Boomer generation collapsed the USSR those commie bastids philosophers and ideaologs (sp) had to go somewhere. Here they are after their visit with Greenpeace.

This is the most confusing reply to an Everlast quote, directed jokingly at lurking, I’ve ever seen.
At least lurking got it.

So my horizon is drawing close. I did my bit to vote for the right people. But all you Gen X, Millennials, Gen Y and whatever else are going to have to fight this stuff. I remember liberal college professors in my time. It is now worse. I wish you the best of luck.
My sentiments pretty close. I am 67 and while I keep up with what is going on I am less and less interested in being involved in any politics and am glad to let the younger people shite in their own bed and clean it up... as long as they leave me alone!

The opposite, actually. Boomers needed a millennial to help them create the wealth you’re describing
