Perhaps they should vote, unfortunately they don't. They are unreliable as a base so politicians ignore them and their needs.

Vote for whom? The political establishment is locking out an entire generation of younger politicians too.

Asking those who have only been able to vote for a few years to have solved the problems, in a system where power is gained only through the accumulation of decades of experience, is, well blaming the victims.

The greed of older generations, their lack of compassion and understanding, and their narcissism are all to blame.

Young people are entering a system built by others with the ladders already pulled up. Violent revolution is the only way they could have changed the system in a short time, and nobody wants that.

Talarico? Bernie? etc? When they don't vote, they leave the Boomers in charge.
