    … And guess which side the supermajority of boomers are on?

    Its almost like they historically and currently constitute a reliable voting block of people who consistently vote to create all these problems that are otherwise known as the class war.

      You’re both right. Lots of old people are on the right but breaking us apart by generation does nothing but further divide us which only helps the Epstein Class.

        Nah.

        You run political polls on groups of people for a reason: To derive rational strategies of rhetorical appeal.

        What we, as the left, should be doing, is appealing to Gen Z, rhetorically.

        … You wanna solve the toxic masculinity problem?

        Point the anger at a better target, and temper it with actual facts, actual logic, actual statistical analysis and explanations of how this shit actually works.

        Validate Gen Z’s literally correct suspicions that Boomers are insane out of touch narcissists, untill proven otherwise.

        The Boomers have demanded they be pandered to and given participation trophies, in the form of subsidies, their entire lives.

        We need to focus on ‘kick anyone over 65 out of any political position, we need new blood’.

        We do not need to focus on ‘well actually, Not All Boomers bad.’

        … You wanna guess the average age of people literally confirmed to be in the Epstein class?

        You need a compelling narrative that motivates people to do things, not a nitpicking discussion panel.
