When will Gen X step up to POTUS?

[Roc Doc]

Or they will just sit in the dark listening to Nirvana, and it will be a dark horse Millennial.

WWII generation had Eisenhouer, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and GHW Busch.

Boomers were Clinton, GW Bush, Obammy, Trump and now Biden.

Long past time for some younger blood, but what do we have more loud talking Boomers on deck.

 

[Arickvan]

Newsom and Kamala are ready and waiting

 

[posford]

We'll take the boomers and the millennials, but we don't want the Gen X

 

[87manche]

We're not interested thanks.
Just leave us alone like our parents did after school.

 

[SoylentGreen]

Exactly. Fuck that shit.

 

[Weasel]

They don't go anywhere in the primaries. Still have boomers voting for boomers I guess, maybe not but not sure how else we get with 2 80 years old running for office. Vik did even make a dent.

 

[Gbkeith]

Still too many boomers voting.

 

[trampas]

Still too many boomers voting.

And we don't want that.

[speed bump]

Obama was technically a gen X and I have heard a convincing argument that he will be the only one. Realistically unless they suddenly find some motivation in their 60s it's a lost generation.

 

[ApeEater]

Overlooked, which is normal.

 

[MONSTERMUDDER]

Because the boomers arn't goin anywhere...

Because most of the younger people are too fucking lazy to get off their dead asses and even vote.

Age restriction is needed. You are ineligible to run for office if you will be 65 or older on inauguration day.

Gin up a constitutional amendment because that's what it will take.

 

[Slander]

The (literal)dead corpses of boomers are being dragged out of the halls of government, they aren't going anywhere unfortunately, to the detriment of the human race.

"Der der der der those are silent generation" STFU KYS

 

[JolietJames]

GenXers are too busy working and paying for everything on the boomers' wish list.

 

[Crashhawk]

Yup, and who would have to vote it in?......

 

[DannyK]

It would never pass because congress is full of fossils.

We have to stop voting for them.

maybe gen X aren't as corrupt kiddie molesters as the Boomers we have in office now? or maybe they have more of a soul than the boomer politicians? maybe they have a hard time with money laundering?

i don't know, just spit balling

 

[baldduck1974]

And we don't want that.

Im happy that my boomer parents are still here to vote, they switched parties when Killery was running.

60s? Hell, that's too young in today's Presidential races. That's a spring chicken!

 

[baldduck1974]

Gen X here, 80% + - of the people on this board wouldnt be here if it wasnt for baby boomers.

 

[Filthy McChevy]

Ageist motherfuckers!

 

[Captain Call]

I was just thinking about this on the way home.

The r's have DeSantis. The d's have gavvy boy.


That's it.

 

[Gtrplyr78]

Gen X here,

Voting has been rigged for a long while, current election has already been decided on. Rest is a mere distraction.
Every time people say No, or it fails popular vote it gets rammed through.

Look at large corporation bailouts, PPP loans corruption fiasco, unrelenting government spending, Robinhood using court system to prevent people from trading and bunch of other stuff.

Civility has run its course, Rome has fallen.

Too busy pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps and focusing on our careers to have time or energy to vote, or even know what the issues are beyond what dad complains about if we visit.

Maybe in 20 years a Gen X will step up to run for President but I’d rather see a Millennial. Someone in their 40s instead of the 55+ age restricted community member who thinks Billy Idol is good music.

[DannyK]

A lot of people throw out the term boomer not knowing exactly how old that group is. They are 60-78 years old. Born between 1946 and 1964. Being born in 1946, Trump is an old boomer, and Biden is from the silent generation.

No. Most of us are just tired. And getting into our 50s. We don't want the wheel to keep spinning. We don't care about SS, and alot of don't care about any of the social programs, because we don't qualify for any of them. The days of what can you do for your country is done.
