Not really.





Which gets even more even if you look at it by race



Black voters are voring in the manner you describe but older black voters support the DEMs more than younger ones.

So were the Beatles and Stones.

Obviously the lines are arbitrary ... and silly. i.e., hippies and yuppies being two ends of the same generation speaks volumes.

But if we're going to play the game 1946-64 are the boomer dates. Whether Hanoi Jane or her brother "seem" like boomers in your mind isn't really relevant.

Sadly, those at the top would read posts like this with a large grin on their face.

This is exactly what they want, for you sheep to be bickering with each other. The enemy has removed himself from the conflict and is now standing at a distance while we destroy each other by playing the victim and blame game.

Goyim will be goyim.

Rise above you sheep.

Many Boomers are delusional to many of the problems they have created.
So let's flip the script.
Millennials, due to youth, haven't had full opportunity to achieve.

Boomers certainly have. Gen X is getting there. Compare the positives of those groups and what they are passing on.

Boomers such as yourself fail to understand that the largest percentage of the federal government are still Boomers and many Boomers are partially responsible for our current predicament.


Give us some of the great ideas of the current Millennials in Congress that is just held back.

This has already been punted once. I suspect it will be again.

Millennials don't have the power to make Congress act.

Look at what the Boomers have done with our federal spending and debt the past 20 years. Where are their ideas to shrink albatross programs like Medicare, Social Security, and military spending? They just keep expanding them along with other welfare.

Boomers like Biden, Mitch McConnell, Feinstein, Grassley, Shelby, Inhofe, Leahy, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Maxine Waters, etc??? or maybe you had Paul Ryan in mind?

Regardless, the blame there goes one place and one place only ... the electorate.

Your generation educated ours. Or, from your perspective, failed to educate us. How’s that on us again?

millennial nonsense

I no longer believe in any way that you are the calculus genius you lay claim to

In fact you come across as rather a millennial dullard

don't know, I was busy ensuring my three millennial aged children were receiving a good education. It worked.

Now, you seem like you may have an IQ above 60...

What are you currently doing in fulfilling your role in the education of the 40 million or so people receiving in your time of responsibility...

there are major boogerbears attacking them right now... as we speak.

So, what are you doing to fulfill your responsibility?

You missed the mark on this. A more accurate analysis would be to ask "who elected them?"

Didn’t ask for title of bills. Asked for ideas.

Well. Let’s hear the millennial fix to it. How have they voted for war funding to Ukraine? Student loan forgiveness support? Green new deal? Benefits for illegals?

Let’s hear those ideas floating around to save what you mentioned from the millennials.

Read it carefully. There was a value in it, but it was wasted on a demonic, unqualified POS. It's like banging your 100th girl, but rather than save it for someone special, you grab a half-dead meth whore from behind a truck stop dumpster. If our first black POTUS had been a Walter E. Williams or a Thomas Sowell or a Clarence Thomas or a Herman Cain, we would have been the ones celebrating (and for much better reason than the pathetic 0bama-philes).

Yeah but with new math 41,000,000 is more than 74,000,000.

A little light reading for you:

The Fourth Turning

Millennials will clean up the mess your generation wrought.

They don't let them vote any more? I'd be raising hell.
