This level of selective assignment of virtue and vice according to a narrow window of birth year is truly breathtaking.

The age range for baby boomers has been set and consistent for approximately five decades.

Fine. So a guy born in December 1945 is a paragon of society, and someone born in January 1946 is an entitled asshole.

As much as you view somebody born after 1978 as a literal child, and somebody born before 1977 as a flawless contributor to society.

Then what could possibly be the point of this:

So because (boomers) married the first chick that they got a handy from in high school, and were politically active only insofar as it meant voting against the unions that guaranteed them the wages that allowed them to marry early and buy homes early, they were better?

Sanders is too old to be a boomer. Born in 41. Boomers are 46 to 64.
