Their comment is rightfully pointing out the lions share of responsibility Boomers have for the state of American politics.

And I’m trying to point out that generations are a spook meant to divide us instead of us focussing on the actual problem, billionaires.

No war but class war.

As an Australian looking at the US political system, it is fucked in a way that voting can never fix. It simply isn’t a democracy in anything other than name.
Over here I can vote for someone other than the two major parties and my vote will actually count for something. In the USA you’re basically throwing your vote in the bin unless you vote for horrible party A or slightly less horrible party B.

Australia is basically a exstention of the US, if you vote in anyone who isn’t what the US wants the CIA will make sure they get removed.

You’re right about America but your country is on the same exact path which means your generation is making the same mistakes of not doing anything about it.

Greatest and silent generations laughing their asses off at the boomers taking all the heat for the state of the world. Previous generations would also be laughing if they weren’t dead.

You really need to look at the size difference between Boomers and Silent generation to understand how ridiculous that claim is. Not to mention once Boomers started feeling represented their voting participation rates shot up. They have dominated the U.S. political landscape for well over four decades.

We could have turned out and stopped the boomers but we continued to let them out us down and, eventually, rig it against us.
Hanging chads!

Over the last 50 years includes 0 years, 1 years, even 2 and 3 up to 4 or 5 years ago. Probably even more who knows.
