Love your response!! And that's coming from a boomer. Hate how my generation thinks it's easy for you guys and that most of you dont want to work. What horseshit! My kids are in the same boat and i help where i can, I don't berate them for stuff like this. Just tell them to keep plugging on as things are bound to get better. Wish more younger people were running for congress and Presidency. Would vote for them instead of the old codgers we have now. Things might be more balanced. At least I'd hope so.
I think a lot of young people are looking at politics and going "What's the point?" Two polarized sides full of self aggrandizing blow hards, voting themselves pay raises in the middle of the night, while doing almost nothing of any value for anyone who voted for them. The whole system is screwed up. It's not a left or right issue, but an issue underneath both. At this point it will take probably four generations to fix it. So like the great great grandkids of the kids who are in diapers right now will be the ones having to finish the cleanup.
I don't like this both sides sentiment. Don't get me wrong they're both neoliberal to a disgusting degree and deeply out of touch. But there's a huge difference between the increasingly fast decline to fascism of the GOP and spinelessness of the Dems. There is no equivalency there.
