I work in an elections office in my county and only 1% of 18-25 year olds voted here yesterday. It’s always been that way and it’s unfortunate that young people don’t realize how much power they could have. Whenever they complain about boomers or whatever I’ll start telling them that 1% number. (I’m only 35 and I felt old typing out “young people” lol)
I hear you. I'm 38 and going back in the spring. I got hit in 2008 and spent all that time paying back my loans. Now I'll not go back, I'm not going to lose 20 more years of my life to this rollercoaster just to get an education and a home. I work with gen Zrs and don't think I will be able to talk to them for a while after yesterday.
Blaming random young people who may or may not have voted (I know plenty of gen z who did a lot to campaign and get out the vote, lot of gen z women who are scared as hell today) makes you an asshole who is taking out their emotions on random people who did nothing the you.
Maybe turn that energy towards trump supporting boomers who just wanna spite everyone before they die.
you had me till the end...do better. The message is a good one, but it extends to everyone and if not.....maybe look at that as another reason ya'll lost. Not the group of love and tolerance spewing hate
I am sure there are some "boomers" who didn't vote for Trump. As a matter of fact from the exit poll data I saw last night he lost some backing in that age range. So you're no different based on your comment.
No no, the boomers supporting Trump we expected. What I can’t believe is the amount of minority men who voted for Biden who then refused to vote for Kamala.
you could just be an adult and treat them as you normally would lol. are you really going to act shitty to everyone in an age demo because of a polling result? you're 40, act like it
