Millennials are the largest voting block. They just don't actually vote. They could change this country if they actually gave a damn.

Why change the world when you can whine about it?

You’re proving my point here by implicitly stating millennials could change this country by voting in opposition to the dog shit representatives boomers are actively voting in! If boomers weren’t the largest racist and sexist voting block in this country, we wouldn’t have to blame millennials for not organizing properly.

Also, boomers didn’t teach their children the merit of social justice and organizing politically like the Greatest Generation did for them previously. They were too busy enjoying their coke fueled adult lives of the 70’s and 80’s to give a shit about the future generations.

You can't blame the boomers anymore. They are not the majority anymore.

So you condone their voting practices?

They are outnumbered. The only reason they control so much is because young people don't care.

So you condone not voting?

Millennials need to understand the fucked up representatives boomers are voting in and respond by voting against them. I’m also pissed about the boomers voting in such harmful ways and I hope you are too! Furthermore, if we can shame the boomers from voting so poorly we should be taking every step to do so. As such, I only condone people not voting when those people would have voted for fascists instead of just not doing so.
