Next year Millennial voters will outnumber Boomers. Yay! But about 47% of Millennials say they lean Democrat and 45% lean Republican. Boomers lean about 44% Dem, 48% Rep. So it’s a little different but not enough to expect any revolutionary changes.
It’s almost worse because at least with Boomers they can maybe believe the system works because they got theirs (nevermind how they got to enjoy such prosperity…), whereas anyone who’s worked on the past twenty years knows things have gotten worse and how.
Fuckin’ master shot. Far right uses Reagan to dog whistle and trigger the Boomers, well so can Mamdani manipulate those Boomers. Excellent work.

I’d rather eat dog shit than have any positive feelings over neolib politics, but those millennials who lean R are class and generational traitors.
To me boomers who lean R are also generational traitors.

The party’s outreach to younger voters so far has been “you don’t vote so we’re going to ignore you.”
Response: “You’re right, but neither party is ethically pure enough for us to soil our hands by voting for anyway.”
I hope one day that democrats will regard their voters as humans with agency.
