When a large generation is voting to block progressive change it is a generational issue on the macro scale.
I am fully on board with the idea that shouldn’t lead to discrimination on age, shouldn’t lead to assuming all boomers are the problem.
Nor that all those younger are progressive.
But politically it is a generational issue. When talking about politics it is legitimate to talk about demographics and voting blocks and how we might get them on side. Or at least prevent them doing further damage.
Obviously my side is primarily the “stop wrecking the planet” side with a healthy dose of “poverty and homelessness are a stain on any developed nation”. So boomers voting the way they do is a problem and has been for some time.
They are yet to stop voting in people who make the world worse. That generation is still a problem. It has been since the 70s.
Either we get enough of that generation to change direction or, more likely, we have to out vote them.
