I think the fact that the oldest millennials are about to turn forty next year, yet they’re still talked about like they’re just out of college and living in mom’s basement. Part of that is the older generations being slower to adjust to the change of reality, but look at it comparatively: at this point for the
Boomers, it was the Me Generation, everyone with a pulse gets to be middle management boom. At this point for Gen X, yeah they had weathered the dot-com bust, but it was also cheap money and the real estate boom. Millennials have gone through three separate job market collapses and now, if those GDP numbers are to be believed, a full-on depression.
I'm saying we can't pin our hopes on socdem politicians getting a majority magically on a timeframe that matters. who cares how millenials might continue to vote? the only things that do matter are the things we can do to heighten the contradictions in society as it's constructed today and to force a break so we can rebuild. refocusing on politicians in the face of that cold reality amounts to an abdication of our collective responsibility to act now.

that's nice and all but 1. people have been saying that for decades and 2. we don't have 25 years.

Gone through the same shit we Millennials have, except that part at the beginning where things seemed to be going well for a while.
