I agree with the sentiment but I think there are key differences in generations. Thus far inaction has been a characteristic. Millennials have been a large enough cohort already to be making waves of change in this world. What has happened is naught but everyone waiting for the big moment when the big bad boomers just sort of go away or something. And then things will magically fix itself.

If there is any cause for much optimism for this generation we would have already been seeing massive changes under way. Instead we have marginal statistical increases in such things as polling progressively or voter turn out. That's not exactly things to be patting yourself on the back for when you've been old enough to vote for 10 - 20 years. Certainly not if one is expecting something drastically different than baby boomers.

Combine that with the individualism which what I think sets the generation apart from the baby boomer. I think this generation is too self-involved that's why there has been seemingly no collective actions. There's wasn't some big giant boomer conspiracy to fuck everyone over for the past 50 years. Though you'd that way with how millennials talk about it. This generation has thus far can barely be assed to accomplish coming out and voting for common interests. That's simply what the boomers have been doing.

There's advice I heard several years ago on the topic of political activism. There are local meetings and such out there but nobody shows up. Almost always everyone is sitting at home. The younger generations are waiting for someone to call them and tell them what to do. And it's true. You have to tell them exactly what to do and keep reminding them.

Not surprisingly that's how both sides (for real this time) won their respective elections with Obama and Trump. A success of the Obama campaign which is largely overlooked in social media discourse but what they did with younger generations was groundbreaking digital outreach. Then we saw the Republicans do the same in their own way by making the GOP fashionable among younger conservatives.

things can change dude, have some faith, fight the fight, wait and see.

Ive had conversations with boomers and millennials about the same topics and the sentiments have been very different in my experience.

Also its easy to be complacent and conservative when you have money and a comfortable lifestyle, which most of the milenials I know have never had.
