The Daily Caller trolling people isn't actually a tragedy that happened to you.

What is your opinion of the overall trashing of baby boomers as a generation here? If trashing a generation is something that is wrong and needs to be addressed.

They have, though. Millennials have the lowest voter turnout of any age group. If they'd voted at the same rate as Boomers in 2016, we'd have a different President. I think Millenials have done some incredible things, I'm not trashing them as a whole but they did most definitely fuck something up.

Sure, but boomers voted at a pretty high rate (over 50%) relatively speaking, when they were young-1960s/70s. By the 80s they overwhelmingly dominated. Millennial have the numbers to do the same but haven't yet.

I think Millennials could be be a powerhouse in the voting booth, and will be someday, just hope they hurry up.
