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.

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.

Yeah it comes down to the fact that the boomers were the largest generation for 54 years, their reign ending in 2019. So they played a large role in getting us to this fucked up place. And now Millennials are the largest generation, and we need to figure out how to unfuck it.

At least half of us are stupid as fuck.
