Dear Millennials and other young voters,
I hope that you’re paying attention to politics now because your opportunities to fix what us baby boomers will likely leave you are running out. Many of us boomers will be gone when you’ll be dealing with climate change, a shrunken middle class, corporate welfare, the national debt (that has increased 9% during the Trump administration alone), diminished or non-existent social security benefits, the unrestrained military industrial complex, inadequate and overpriced health care, student debt, voter suppression, Citizen’s United and its associated Dark Money, etc.
These November elections will affect you far more than they’ll affect us boomers and you shouldn’t rely on us to protect your futures. We’ve already demonstrated how short-sighted most of us are. Elections are your best, and because of Dark Money, increasingly your only way to influence policy. You’ll find that politicians, once they are elected, listen more to their sources of money than to the average voter. Your demographic is perhaps the least represented by government and yet maybe the one with the greatest potential to have an effect on it. So please, pursue unbiased information, vote and tell your peers why they should also.

The Civil War "is" coming @m.knox It just isn't gonna happen the way your African Ape brain thinks its gonna happen.
BTW...go ahead and call me an antiboomerite. I confess. It's true. I hate the Baby Boomers. They fvcked America. They have a WHOLE generation to answer to.
