The Baby Boomers are reckoned to begin in 1946. Bernie was born in 1941, three months before Pearl Harbor and the entrance of the USA into WWII. Which would place him in the "Silent Generation", a member of the "Lucky Few".

The Millennials don't need to shoot anyone, they just need to get their voter participation rates up to or above those of older voters.

That are the single largest population group in the U.S. at present, so yes, they already have the numbers. They are inheriting a near hopeless situation.

I grew up doing duck-and-cover drills, with air raid sirens, and fallout shelters.

Hopeless.... Hmmmph.

How so? I might describe places like South Sudan or Somalia as “near hopeless”, but why do you think the US is in such dire straits?

As a young adult of barely house buying age, I saw real estate double in price and beyond me in the bubble of the 70’s.

when I did finally buy a house I paid 11% on my mortgage. I looked at houses where, to assume the loan, the interest-rate was 14%.

Unemployment was high and I was released into the job market when it was higher than in our most recent recession of 2008.

The threat of nuclear war was a real thing.
