Generations do have voting habits though, someone from gen Z is not voting for the same reason as the boomers. When people from the younger generation make choices that will hurt their future it should be realized and understood so hopefully later elections (heh for the current system) they can understand why some people aren't in their best interest and things adjusted.
Mean for voters that want the current situation then they're assholes cause they voted for someone with the worst outcome of the planet and society in mind.
What you mean to say is simply that environment influences behavior. "Generations" are just arbitrary buckets that reinforce stereotypes and create division. A young gen x person likely has a lot more in common with an old millennial than an old gen x person.

Yeah it ticks me off when people get pedantic about generations. It's like y'all know they're just a marketing thing, right? So marketing firms can act like they know whatever generation they're talking about. It's not some official thing.
Please don't say what I meant to say. If I am incorrect i am is all. I think generations have a valid similarity because of the world at the time.
Mean didn't say the exact generations as said by books but people who grow up in a similar political and economic environment probably are impacted by that situation and that sort of happens, Which is more what I meant.
