Typical Boomer sentiment. "I never had to adapt or learn, despite having every opportunity, and now anytime someone doesn't cater to me, I'm offended."

Meanwhile Millennials have been riding an unceasing wave of technology advancement since elementary school, while learning all the fundamentals of Boomer educations, AND modern living AND adapting to changes in the information landscape and workplace. AND getting a significantly lower ROI for their efforts. Boomers broke the social contract. Their egg on the face bellyaching is just more evidence that the world has moved past them.

We need age caps on voting. These elderly chucklefucks are dragging us 100 years backwards.

"the economy is the best it's ever been" for whom? I'm broke, worried about making rent and it's Christmas season. The only thing I have to give is my usual "humbug" attitude as I worry about how I am going to manage after the holidays.

The economy sucks. Businesses aren't people. They don't have to worry about eating. I do. They don't have to worry about missing a rent payment because they have credit. I don't have enough. The entire system is rigged and the Democrats keep ignoring us. I hated Harris when she ran for herself but I voted for her because I didn't want to lose my freedom - but with Dems it's some other loss of freedom no one talks about or admits exists. We are practically bound to our work, many people us identify as the job we have. "Oh hi Bob, what do you do?" Is boomer code for knowing what kind of respect to give a person. Democrats support losing our identity to the industry that employs us.

Business centric politics is hurting the people who are making the business run.

Haha assuming there will be a next time. So optimistic.

Saw this on Al Jazeera and I think it's a fairly solid opinion. My parents are in their eighties and driving for DoorDash (in my car, on loan), and if they don't, no one in the Biden/Harris administration would lift a finger to help them, and they know it. I'm almost certain they voted Trump but we have a family rule where we don't talk about politics anymore.

The wealthiest 10% own 93% of stocks. The wealthiest 1% own 50% of stocks.

When they say the economy is doing great, they literally mean they are fucking you in the ass, right now, in this moment, but you’ve lost all feeling down their and you are metaphorically more incontinent than Trump.

People do not want to hear, ‘Well, actually the economy is good.’”

In four years these same people are going to line hearing that, regardless of reality.

It's not about the message. It's about the color of the team saying it. Red, orange, and white over blue, brown, and white.

I recognize that I'm likely part of the problem, but was there a lot of, "well, actually the economy is good"?

What I remember from the campaign (from my own limited media stream) is that Harris openly acknowledged that prices were too high, both for groceries and housing, and gave admittedly broad plans to address those challenges, e.g. home buyer credits, home building targets, and child tax credits. I'm not trying to be an asshole, but I legit didn't see this as the "abandonment of the working class" that has been the popular narrative recently.
