Well if all you “young”people had bothered to vote, we wouldn’t be here. Every election we waited for you to show up and guess what, couldn’t be bothered. Best of luck getting back the rights we secured for you.

Young voters have turned out in record numbers in recent elections—especially in 2018 and 2020—often overwhelmingly supporting progress. Voting alone isn’t enough to stop this authoritarian creep. Blame the rigged system, but not apathy of young people.
2018 and 2020? What year was he first elected? How about all the state and local elections the decades since Reagan? Stop the Boomer bashing and I’ll forget who didn’t care enough to vote.
Nobody brought boomers up but you. But while we are here, you are ignoring that boomers dominated turnout for decades and still voted in majorities for Reagan, Bush, Trump, and red-state governors who gutted rights.
You should go back & read the thread. I was just responding. So a FYI. Believe it or not people get more conservative when they age & yes it will happen to your generation. That is why we needed YOUR generation & others to vote so that the RIGHTS we got in the 60/70s weren’t taken for granted.
I agree, rights shouldn’t be taken for granted. That’s exactly why we’re upset that so many who gained them decades ago turned around and voted for people who stripped them from others. You replied directly to me, and I didn't say a thing about age.
