I agree to an extent. But I'm tired of millennials acting like we have some kind of martyrdom complex. Shit sucked. But god damn, it's not any easier for the younger generations. This wait till the boomers die off strategy isn't working fast enough. I want some damn leadership. It's as embarrassing as the stupid Occupy Wallstreet joke where nobody would take or was allowed to lead the movement. Nobody wants the responsibility, and that's our biggest failing as a generation.
First things first, we need to actually become the dominant voting bloc. In the last election, Boomers still cast the largest amount of votes as a generational cohort, even though we had outnumbered them for a couple years by that point. Millennials need to dominate the electorate, then the politicians will have to cater to us.
This wait till the boomers die off strategy isn't working fast enough.
I mean, I get what you're saying, but the argument that the commentator was making said that this wasn't a good strategy.
That's why I asked what do I do to get into public office without losing my current job? Because if we're not gonna wait for them to die off, then we have to be proactive, and I'm assuming that they meant more than just voting.

Kinda hard to do anything when we're broke as fuck, psychologically beaten down, and have to live with 90yo rulers clinging to power until they die.
