5.6% of congress was born before 1945. That's fucking insane. I mean I realize Biden was too, but that just makes it worse. The choices in terms of age are 80-year-old Biden or 77-year-old Trump.

And it's not going to change until younger voters start showing up on election day.

They show up reliably on election day...

They need to show up in the primaries.

Zoomers vote so don't blame them.

I'm not blaming as much as pointing out that the people most affected are the least likely to vote. They'd rather complain about "boomers" on social media
