Baby boomers comprised a larger share of voters in 2024, accounting for 32%, but they are trending lower after hitting a peak of 36% in 2016.
Ocasio-Cortez, a millennial herself, expects the younger generation will soon tip the scales in American politics.
“Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We’re grown adults with mortgages and kids,” she said. “And we—that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, sidelined, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us on everything from the economy to climate. And we’re taking the reins.”
From global warming to debt crisis to lack of affordable health insurance (all intentional), Boomers have definitely overstayed their welcome.
This day and age with a growing positive sentiment toward authoritarianism, anti intellectualism, and fascism, I think some punk would be good. A lot of punk, even.
I loved the phrasing in this one.
Many will read it as:
But it should be read as:
We are adults. Punk adults.
Your typo reminded me of something.
When I was little, we had a children’s TV personality/character called Grynet. Looking at Wikipedia it says that she was supposed to be a parody of a typical teenager, I was a little young at the time, but she strikes me more as this pink princess punk which as an adult I think is wonderfully inclusive.
Her tagline was “ta ingen skit!”, roughly “Don’t take any shit (from others)!”
Yea I feel this lol. I’ve never put dye in my hair but fuck am I considering it lol. Fuck the system and YES I am 32 who CARES we’re all BURNING
Is that the message being communicated by the colored hair I’ve been seeing lately? If so, that’s awesome. It flew right over my head.
