    Democracy in a capitalist economy is an illusion. Boomers didn’t vote for this, it was foisted on them. Neither party fulfills the promises they make on the campaign trail, unless the promise is to an oligarch.

      Boomers didn’t vote for this

      As someone who phone banks regularly: They absolutely did. I spoke to hundreds of registered Democratic Boomers. They hated Sanders.

        Sure they voted, but they didn’t vote for this. Remember, boomers are the most propagandized generation in the most propagandized country on Earth. Ignorance shouldn’t be an excuse, but most boomers genuinely do not know when they vote against their own interests. They are pawns, while the Kings and Queens laugh to see them blamed. And that pisses me off a lot more than ignorance.
