    The now elderly are the ones that voted against their best interests for the past 4 decades and got us all into this mess.

      People are still voting for Democrat or Republican. Self reflection is a tough skill. Blame boomers and proceed to do the same.

        The boomers haven’t voted democrat since Carter and even then only barely.

        The idea that both parties are the same does no good. Of course electoral reform should be the goal but not using what power is available to you only delays or reverses progress.

          See there it is another person advocating to do what Boomers have done the last 40 years flip flop between Dems and Republicans and never change anything.

              Here’s a really cool secret: you can vote for a third party that’s not Republicans or Democrats.

                Cool, how has that worked out for you? Which third party candidate did you help get into the oval office? What laws have your third party senators and representatives helped write and pass? Do they caucus independently or with one of the big bad “both sides are the same” parties? How did they choose which “bad” party to caucus with?
