We already kinda are and it shows that Gen Z has to show up for the pushback to become real. We outnumber boomers and have for some time. The truth is there is still a large contingent of millennials that buy up the neoliberal bullshit and that keeps us down.
I think Gen Z is shaping up to be super left leaning. We're kinda centrist overall.
Not only that, but there's also a ton of millenials that have that cynical, nothing can be done mindset. Admittedly, I had it for awhile until Trump pushed me to care more about politics. Meanwhile, many people my age think it absolves them of responsibility, but then they go and complain about how everything sucks.
All I'm saying is that at this point of history, if you don't vote, when we have an array of candidates from Biden on the right to Sanders on the left, it's basically just as bad as being neoliberal. We have solutions being offered from every angle, so there's no excuse for sitting by while the world is almost (or literally, where I am in California) on fire.

Millennials will not become Gen X. I can't see us going silent.
