Why? So teenagers, too, can be ignored by the government?
You know why seniors' issues tend to be addressed? Because they vote like their lives depend on it and put the rest of us to shame.
No. Because the boomer generation was so massive that their voting power surpassed any other generation. Even if they don't even all go vote, they still buried the X and millennials combined.

I mean, apart from millenials outnumbering boomers, and the fact that Gen X + millenials would outnumber them more than 2:1, uhhh, sure?
You could post some numbers that back you that kinda crazy take...
I mean, you realize where the word “boomers” comes from, right?
I mean, you realize people tend to die as they age, right?
The largest age cohort in America are millenials, not boomers.

But, Boomers outvote millenials by a silly margin. Silly takes like "there are more boomers" probably don't help.
Nah brah they legit just have nothing better to do but vote. It's why seniors have such a strangle hold on democracies. Compulsory voting is a must have. The whole reason why the voting age is being lowered in the UK is because the voter demographics are so skewed to the elderly.
I think you meant to respond to someone else, none of that seemed like a response to what I wrote.
Adulthood is being ignored by your government and watching items you like disappear from the grocery store. Perhaps now teenagers will finally be tolerable and integrate well with society as their dreams die and the light in their eyes fade.
