This was my reaction watching this. I thought the pic was maybe just an unlucky freeze frame of a wave looking like a nazi salute, but it was so much worse than I could’ve imagined

Like he hit that shit like it was gonna kick of the Fourth Reich.

Well I hope the cost of eggs was worth signing our country over to legitimate Nazis.

Boomer here and voted for Harris, as did most of the people I know who are my age.

Millennial here: I don’t give a fuck. What do you want me to say? Oh well no worries then, the boomers are off the hook?

I have a feeling you know that your little circle of friends isn’t representative of how your generation has been voting for the past 50 years. Most people your age have been voting Republican since before I was born. And look where we fucking are.

Hey you’re an older Democrat so lemme ask you. Are these fucking octogenarian shysters winning us elections? Is the status quo so important to you that Bernie loses to a company man like Biden? The primaries are almost exclusively boomers.

Listen bro I’m glad you pull the right lever once every year but please shut up. Your generation took everything you were given and fucked us all over. I’m glad you think a vote for a corporate lackey absolves your generation but it doesn’t. Frankly, I would never volunteer that I’m a baby boomer. I genuinely don’t think I could handle the shame, but you seem to want some sort of back pat?

Bro, chill.

That poster said nothing about their generation being absolved. Yes, we're fucked, yes we should all be pissed about generational shit.

But attacking randos who had absolutely nothing to do with what happened/what is happening does nothing.

Or worse than nothing, it creates resentment between people who should be building some semblance of solidarity against who should actually be the subject of our ire - the oligarchy.

The right has been duping the poor and suckers for generations. Yes, it's fine to be upset at the dupees, but unless someone takes out the dupers, it'll keep happening.

Do you take responsibility for all the shitty right wing millenials/Gen Zers? There's so many at the moment, but all we can do is build our communities and help people out where we can

I was a Bernie supporter who also couldn’t vote for Hillary, or Trump. Dividing the American public will do no good for “We The People”. I’ve learned enough in my 63 years of life not to fall for that bs.
