Who cares? A good president is suppose to represent the country not just their demographic.
Yes. But generations has different views and priorities from one to the other. For example boomers see the world as they remember and hang on to what they know, but that policy isn't working anymore.
I, for one, am concerned retirement won't exist by the time I get too old to work. Our current candidates don't need to give a crap about that. They'll die before that becomes an issue.
Boomers had a good run, and did a lot of damage. Younger generations are doing a lot of fix-its; that's commendable. Mine was called lazy, ignored, and I would really like for it to not be passed over. I don't have a lot of time left to hope things start getting better from a generation that seems to do rash, illogical things to justify logical conclusions.
I just want us to have a chance to shine in the sun.
Yes, but Gen X and millennials also have a shitload of views and priorities IN COMMON.
As far as I can tell, there's a much smaller political difference between 35 and 55 than 55 and 75.
That might not always been the case, but since boomers and that sneaky "silent generation" (Biden, Trump, Pelosi, McConnell, Feinstein. Schumer is just barely too young to qualify) have been fucking over ALL subsequent generations for decades, we're pretty much in the same leaky boat now.
