Thanks.

Yeah, like I said, grey area.

Wasn't comparing their personal integrity or morality, just their effects on their respective parties.

To be fair, it was the boomers that started the Women's' Liberation Movement. Unfortunately, things happen and formally idealistic youngsters grow up to be cynical old fogeys. This is what the right counts on.


So what is the lesson here? Don't let the realities of life break you down, Millennials. Don't become cynics like us boomers, otherwise, one day, your children will be cursing you the way you curse us boomers now.

In other words, don't give up like we did.

I know. I get it. I've just heard the argument before and it has always led to the conclusion that they're very similar people, and that just couldn't be further from the truth. I'm not a huge AOC fan, mostly because I don't think a person should be a "fan" of any politician. I do however think she is the best example currently of somebody that won't actually be affected by corporate string pulling and will actually try to change peoples lives for the better. It was a rhetoric I heard over and over again when Trump was running and it just wasn't true in the slightest even though these mentally ill boomers like to pretend it was.

Kinda proves my point that the actively voting segment of the population is too hung up on sexist boomer **** to vote for AOC, don't it?

Making election day a national holiday and universally sending out mail in ballots would probably improve turnout.

Yep, I struggle with the labels a bit as well, but my understanding is that the boomers were the hippies: post-war baby boom of the 50s came of age in the 70s that's the approx chronology I think.

I don't think what he said implied they're similar people at all. If it leads you to that conclusion you have to ask what's leading you there.

you really believe she would have a harder time getting elected cause she's a woman than she would because of what she stands for? Like people are going to vote for someone with AOC's platform if only she was a man??

Hillary barely lost people need to quit pretending like it's not just a matter of time before some other broad actually gets elected.

Yes.

And that tiny dick talking point will definitely be used to discredit any and all support for a female candidate. An obstacle that AOC would face if she ran.

sorry to hear that. Try not to let them poison your mind next time pal.

Yes.

which is why sanders lost the nomination twice. Once to a woman.
