Many in GenX does, though.

Maybe the boomers need to stop working and die, so the better paying jobs and wealth can come to the younger generations.

I think you're going to get your wish. They're not paying for all kind of social funding (low income housing for the elderly, for example). Yay?

It's a shame that my sarcastic comment might have to be taken seriously in 2025, depending on what ORAGNE does.

And yet Gen Z turned out for... Trump? He'll surely help the economy and enable a new era of magically plentiful high paying, stable jobs.

Less than half of us voted. As a member of Gen Z who DID vote for Khamala its because the only good thing she does is not be Trump.

A good portion of our generations more liberal/left-leaning side just got done having the shit beaten out of them by cops before getting kicked out of school for protesting against the genocide in Gaza.

What makes you think any of these people want to turn around and vote for a law-and-order ex-DA who's ignoring some of the worst atrocities of our times?

Everyone in this generation who isn't jaded and disillusioned is a fascist or fascist sympathiser (same difference :p). No one has the energy to care let alone vote.

They probably won't until establishment democrats keel over, and unfortunately it looks like medical science kept them alive and puttering until it was too late.

I think she got so many votes because she wasn't Trump. And thats it. She was so frustrating as a candidate who was "super Law and Order DA from liberal land, California. She's the best of both worlds!"

Christ she was so bad at being charismatic. I liked her when she made fun of Trump so hard he refused to ever debate her again. But then she tried to play both sides and toured with Liz Cheney. It's like, the entire message of her failed campaign will look at all the answers but the right one: she wasn't an active evil fascist. She just supported fascism her whole life and learned to make concessions to sound more progressive. Gen Z will learn to hate the DNC.

She had a lot of potential as a candidate that the DNC just refused to use.

Just like Bernie

Most boomers don’t know what it’s like to work 40+ hours a week. Their parents made the system better, and they assume they didn’t fuck it up.

[–] pelespirit 9 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

I'd say that they don't remember. They probably did when they first started out. Their first starting out phase was much shorter though.
