      Why does everyone take statements about a population and then try to use a specific example to disprove it?

      I’m talking about generalities. Look at who the majority of boomers vote for. Spoiler, it’s not democrats. I don’t know your grandpa. I don’t know what anyone’s grandpa did. But collectively, generally speaking, the stats say our grandpa’s share blame for voting R for decades and at the very least, for voting for corpo neolibs every primary.

      Because hey, guess what, it’s not the new generations that have the highest participation in primary votes.

        Good point, but we’re letting them do it? We know better and we’re allowing it. Or, when it gets pointed out next that no party is offering to actually fix it, is it still their fault?
