When do you think we'll accomplish it? Certainly not in the next four years, IMO. If we're lucky, we might be able to do it within like 20 years.

Do you think it's related to Boomers at all, and newer generations might be more willing to push it through? Here's a Boomer Death Clock that says about 35% of them have passed away by now.

Never. Or atleast not until conservative propaganda completely dies down. People really have a warped reality when understanding how conservative this country is.
