…as long as choice #3 isn’t apocalyptically bad, right?

Right?

That’s only true if everyone believes that, a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Would really be fantastic to see just once, one time, everyone interconnects on social media and agrees to vote on a third party, as an experiment if nothing else, to finally prove/disprove that theory.

Funny enough these newer generations have this communicative interconnectivity of the Internet available to them, that previous generations didn’t have, but they don’t seem to use it, instead they just share mene pics/vids, etc.

Could you imagine the political earthquake though if a third party actually won? Would be glorious to see.

You will ALWAYS be voting for the lesser of two evils.

Unless you run for office yourself.

It must be weird judging a whole generation based only on what you know from learning about via social media.

No other arbitrary age cohort has been so unjustly hated in American history

You talking about Boomers, or Gen-Xers?

mildly interesting- that boomers just hit 1/3 dead.

I do wonder about the accuracy of that though. It’s not like the website owner went through every death certificate ASAIK.

Yes. Didn’t notice those dates. Still makes no sense if you take the name literally though…

You’re wrong chronologically, but you’re right based on how those labels are used to judge people’s social values.

I don’t understand, are you confused at the age range for Boomers? It literally says it in the image…

I get where they’re coming from.

The starting point is normally defined at the time you came out of your mother’s womb, but it really shouldn’t be.

It should be started at the point where you first enter society as a child, and start learning your generation’s societal values.

Basically, when you started kindergarten, or Elementary School.

Just checked, wow he’s technically a Boomer! Born in 1964, so just made it.

The identifier should be started at the age you entered society, and not the age you came out of your mother’s womb.

It sure seems like they feel that way about social security.

We paid into it, we should be able to get the benefits from it, just like any other American in any other generation.

A hell of a lot more than 300,000 people experimented with drugs and protested Vietnam.

True, but not all of them were hippies.

A lot of regular people, especially the younger generation, were doing drugs and protesting Vietnam.

Those two things are not what makes a hippie a hippie. It’s their life view that does.

People seem to have this view that everyone in the '60s was a hippie but that’s just not true.

'60s, maybe not, but 70s? There was a lot more of them then.

But yeah, not everyone was.

All those hippie kids who protested Vietnam and experimented with drugs and sex ended up voting for Reagan.

No, we didn’t. Also, inflation and Iranian hostage situation.

I am really proud of my parents for always being progressive.

I hate the burst your bubble, but they weren’t being progressive, they were being 80’s liberals. Today’s progressives are a different thing.

(BTW, your comment was a good read.)

This is not an example of that though.

How so?
