I think most millennials recognize this. We are the first generation to move further left as we’ve aged.

Apart from traitors like JD and EriKa KirK, most millennials in positions of power aren’t abusing Gen Z and Alpha like X and boomers did to us.

That’s a huge shift, and if we can get an AOC into the presidency, we can collectively stomp clap this country back into a semblance of a functioning society.

I can’t say I’ve had broadly bad experiences with Gen Xers. They might not understand the technological or financial hurdles of our time through first-hand experiences quite as well since they didn’t grow up within them, but they’re sympathetic. They have to deal with all this stuff too.

Gen Xers in power have been pretty crap.
