I sat out the 1972 election between Nixon and Humphrey. Many sat out 2000 and 2016 elections. Here are the consequences.

Pfft 41% of voters were below 50 last election. They ignored millenials for so long because every sector was. Boomers don't have the ability to hand power to the next generation, raise the next generation to handle responsibilities, or pass on the knowledge to handle things when they are gone.

Boomers raised kids like pets, offered no assistance to begin careers or families, and offered little actionable advice. They received assistance from their parents and grandparents in these ways. But then forgot they received help and were supposed to help future generations after them. They still complain about those "millenial kids" because they forget that time passes and the youngest millenial is over 30 now.

You found another bug in throwaway account detection! I've undeleted this comment and, hopefully, fixed the new one too. Sorry about that.
