if you are referring to the presidential election, youth picked Biden over Trump because he was the lesser of two evils

if you are referring to the primaries, the establishment barely hung on in 2020 despite:
- having the financial backing of Corporations
- scumbags like Jack Tapper framing primary questions misleadingly
- establishment media creating the "biden is the best chance to beat Trump" narrative

most Boomers wouldnt even know what Citizens United is. they wouldnt know whose supreme court picks voted yes on Citizens United. and they dont know the difference between "social democrat" and "socialism"

but as Boomer die off, the democratic part will look very different because the youth is aware of the corruption within the democratic party
Boomers are legit a disgrace of a generation. Took everything, looked after nothing, and they regard ignorance as a virtue.

they are pretty clueless in terms of modern norms. economics. politics. etc

but i wouldnt go as far as to call them a disgrace. all the boomers i know are either immigrants or first gen americans whose fathers fought in ww2

that was presumably insane. cant blame them for mentally checking out for the rest of their lives

Sure, we all know or knew boomers who were great.

It's interesting to wonder about generational trauma as well. Millions of men going off to war and coming back broken, returning to a culture where they couldn't talk about what they saw and did and how it affected them. And then the boomers being raised by these deeply traumatised people.

But they had it so good. A regular average blue collar nobody could buy a house, run two cars and raise two kids on one normal wage. And like it or not, boomers are the generation who has given us the current Gilded Age levels of wealth and income inequality.

Of course, nothing is ever 100% black and white. I enjoy a lot of legal protections at work that didn't exist for my grandparents. My lesbian friend lives a far better life than she would have half a century ago, because of anti-discrimination laws that boomers passed years ago.

But on the whole, my generation is inheriting a world that has squandered so much potential because of an overload of stupid, spoiled, selfish, spiteful people. Not every single one of them, of course, or even maybe a majority of them. But as a generation, they have allowed us in our societies to embrace the worst versions of ourselves in so many ways. Shortsighted greed and selfishness over all else, that is their collective legacy as a generation, unfortunately.

Every pompous young generation says the same thing about their elders
You should have heard me bitching about Christopher Columbus and those other explorers. "Ohhh...we have spices". Who needs spices? Pompous, ignorant assholes.

I don't know if he needs better-fitting dentures or what, but he sounds drunk when he talks with all the slurring. Forget about the miss-mash of random words that make zero sense in the order his plinko brain fires them out of his mouth, he talks like he has a tongue that is way too big for his mouth.

Maybe he had dental work before that speech?

There has to be a reason for the synapse collapse.

Maybe they should eliminate all "s" words from his prepared speeches?
