    They can want whatever they’d like but we can advocate for a nominee we’d like to see and get them voted in.

      The joke is that Gen X is getting skipped over. the next pres is either going to be a millenial or a boomer, but not gen x- who has never had a president.

      A Gen-X mentor of mine, once said “the worst lie we’ve ever been told is that if we work hard, then one day we get to be the CEO’s and leaders. And then they never retired.”

        As a millenial, I am 100% on board with skipping right over us, too, and getting a Gen Zer in there. They have the most to lose if the climate crisis continues and therefore I trust them the most to actually push to do something about it. In fact, let’s just fill the entire government with Gen Zers.

          i want the right candidates. I think, most of the current crop of politicians are far from that.

          we need to jump in fresh blood- we’re where we’re at because of politicians that have been there for forty, fifty years now, and it’s gone past stagnant into rancid.

            When I was growing up, the big fears of Gen X were another ice age, over-population, nuclear war, and quicksand.

            So I’m not sure what Gen X has to offer. But we’re here if you need us - like if global warming causes a quicksand crisis. Otherwise we’re just gonna keep doing our own thing.

        yup. Boomers just stayed in place, then if they could, they sold the businesses to china and left with a huge retirement fund.
