    I mean Boomer Democrat voters could sit down and ask themselves “Is voting for a geriatric establishment white man really the move in the 2020 primaries if we want those “young” (read: anyone under the age of 65) voters to engage in politics”

    But they won’t because even though they vote Democrat they’re still Boomers. And Boomers can’t handle not getting their way.

      If young voters wanted anything maybe they’d get off their whiny asses and vote EVERY TIME and change things.

      If theyre so numerous and so progressive why can’t they just take the party over? Why can’t they vote progressives in every house district, every senator race, who would then nominate a progressive for president the next time?

          This is not a defense of boomers at all.

          It’s a criticism of lazy ass young voters, of which I was one once. Maybe if you did one thing like boomers (VOTE- EVERY- TIME) then you’d get your way.

          But then I guess you wouuldn’t get to be the perpetual victim and wah wah wah, the world is so mean.

            This is a tacit defense of Boomers.
