Generally speaking, Gen X and younger do not want war.
Millennials would love for you to get guns off the streets.
Gen Z wants you to fix the economy.
Alpha Gen wants safe schools.
COVID Gen wants you to end the pandemic.
Boomers need to shut up and sit down.
@LianaBrooks We boomers also want the pandemic to end. We boomers also want safe schools and are working hard to ban assault weapons. We boomers are pretty happy with how Joe Biden is fixing the economy. Most of all, we boomers have seen enough war and don’t want any more ever again. @bmacDonald94

As do I. Thank you.
@AlliFlowers @bmacDonald94 And thank you for that. I know there are good Boomers (and older!) out there.
@AlliFlowers @LianaBrooks @bmacDonald94 Came here to say this. Would not have said it as well.

A lot of Boomers are really great. There's fantastic leaders in every field that are Boomer and older.
But, as a group, they struggle to listen and work with younger generations and we really, really need them to listen right now.
If younger generations aren't heard, they'll stop caring, and they'll never be able to learn to lead the way they need to.
@LianaBrooks @AlliFlowers @bmacDonald94 The way to be listened to is not to demand that others shut up but to say something worth listening to that they have not already heard.
@MartyFouts @AlliFlowers @bmacDonald94
We tried saying something new. We tried showing up. We tried being polite.
That doesn't fix an imbalance in representation that is created by having representatives who have been in office my whole life. They need to step down. Older voters need to vote them out if they won't.
@AlliFlowers @LianaBrooks @bmacDonald94 My late mother in law (a fine poet) wore a button on her coat, for at least the last 40 years of her long life that said:
STILL AGAINST WAR
(and me too)
