    What you’re ignoring is those elderly demographics keep shrinking and this cycle the majority of voters will be under 40 years old

    The age of the boomers is over, but the generation before them still won’t stop controlling both parties and insisting that listening to 60 year olds is already enough compromise.

      I’m not sure where you’re getting the under 40 numbers, most polling pegs “youth” as 18-29, And the next bracket is under 45.

      For my purposes I’m calling “young” voters under 30. I used the stats above to add context to show how under represented they are in comparison.
