    Looking at a demographic table, it’s overwhelmingly obvious that most Americans are boomers

    Not true. Boomers are on the decline now and it’s a steep cliff from here out.

    Definitely correct about them voting more than other groups, cannot argue with that at all. Young people need to get off their ass and actually vote.

      I’m not American, but whenever I talk to my young friends out there they tell me about impossible they’ve made it to go vote. Not being near a bus route, their employers cutting their hours for going out, just a huge hassle for them in general.

        Definitely true, but it doesn’t account for everyone under 40 who doesn’t make it out to the polls. A lot of that is apathy or laziness.
