Baby boomers are fleeing Donald Trump and switching allegiance to Harris

How about that. Harris moves to the left on domestic economic issues, and boomers switch to her. Even as prominent Republicans call her a commie.

Conventional "wisdom" within the centrist wing of the party is that we have to move to the right because boomers will flee in panic if we dare move to the left. Turns out, centrists have been full of shit this entire time. We've wasted so many years moving to the right for a lie. What else are centrists full of shit about?

did they finally realize GOP is going to take everything away from everyone who isn't a billionaire and give it to billionaires? like they started in 16?

The old people I know are happy to volunteer that other old people need to get out of the way for the younger generation.

When it comes to Harris’s running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, 39 percent of voters have a favorable view. The same number has a favorable view of Trump’s number two, Ohio Senator JD Vance.

But 49 percent of voters have an unfavorable view of Vance while only 39 percent have an unfavorable view of Walz.

I can't believe Walz and Vance have the same favorable view.

That's all well and good, but let's hope we see the fruits of this swing at the ballot box.

I think a lot of people forget what the world was like when the older baby boomers came of age.

what.

No, WAT.

... I ... they ...

there's ... how the

Am I fucking dreaming?

Did I fucking DIE on the morning of July 21st 2024 and ALL of this has been nothing but a manic hallucination as all my neurons fire off for one last time?

what i mean is, i honestly thought the boomers were beyond help???

I could have SWORN they stopped giving a shit about anything but enriching themselves and fucking over their kids and grandkids and great grandkids just for the sake of their own sick amusement an entire decade ago.

I am legitimately astonished that there's a scrap of decency left in them to even COMPREHEND supporting anything but absolutely the worst of all available wrong decisions.

there's actually some part of me that wonders if kamala actually winning the support of THEM could actually be some kind of red flag... O_o; I'm not going to entertain that part or cultivate it, i'm going to starve it into atrophy now that i've expressed and confronted the thought, but still, this is such a shock that it was actually there.

I'm starting to like this new time line.

The poll in question:

if anybody reads what the DNC voted on for their platform lowering aging people's cost of healthcare was a big one and the rest of their platform was mostly for seniors to benefit off of it

more gerontocracy horseshit so no surprise people switched

we need a party for the younger people at this point that would fight for living wages and universal healthcare for all not just Medicare expansion and lowering prescription drug costs lowering that will mostly just help seniors

No they aren't.

This isn't the flex Liberals think it is. Boomers are still boomers.
