    Because the responsibility IS at the feet of us young people. If we could be bothered to actually vote in the primaries it wouldn’t matter who the boomers chose.

    Unfortunately no one is going to change their minds by me rubbing their nose in the shit they just made. They vote for him because they believe in whatever he stands for. They’re too scared of spooky socialism to vote for anyone that isn’t a centrist anyway.

        We are the victims of their inaction for sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that boomers gonna boomer. We can counter that we just need to get people to see how important primaries are.

        I just don’t see how we could possibly convince neolib boomers to not be neolib boomers.

          No we are the victims of Boomers actions. Holy shit you are trying so hard to give them a free pass.
