Exactly. It’s not young vs old, black vs white, left vs right, etc. The ONLY enemy are the WEALTHY, and we will never have peace in this nation and this world until we force the Sociopathic Oligarchs and the Transnational Corporations to serve our people, our nation, and the world, and not just themselves.
Comment on A secret, never-mentioned fact is that the people who voted for Zohran are also taxpayers.

What’s interesting is that some people read this and think it means “bigotry isn’t a problem anymore”, instead of “the rich use bigotry to control the masses”. You have to address bigotry as well as the economic issues.

unfortunately a lot of people blithely stand around defending the wealthy as the wealthy kick them in the balls

The problem is that wealth inequality in the USA has an age component.
Boomers are far wealthier than previous generations at their equivalent age as a percentage of national wealth. They are also incredibly sensitive to taxes as their retirement depends on managing wealth.
In contrast, Gen X and millennials are poorer than Boomers at their equivalent age and mainly contribute to the economy with their labor.
It isn’t a perfect divide, but there is a wealth divide that represents itself somewhat as a generational divide.

If gen Z/A/Millennials had the same opportunities as the Boomers did they would do exactly the same.
