Do We Continue to Whine, or Do We March?

11. I've been on the receiving end of it before

I'm a borderline millennial (born 1980).

I've noticed that in elections this year too. It seems that millennial primary challengers lost by landslides. I haven't checked lately, but as of 2 years ago there were more members of Congress born in the 30s than the 80s.

My (GOP) congressman was elected at 29 (he's now in his 60s). I don't think anyone could win this district at 29 now. For one thing there's a new 55+ community popping up every day.

I'm back at this forum after a long hiatus. Part of the reason I left in the first place is that I felt unwelcome here and thought that it should be renamed to Baby Boomer Underground. My generation has been screwed 7 ways to Sunday by the boomers and they're yelling at us for not growing up and buying houses.
