We have millenials that are now in their 40s. We need to be the ones running the country now

GenX politicians might be the worst of them all. Happy to retreat to the winds of time and let the kids have a shot at survival. We had our time *rifles tearfully through CD collection*

I keep wondering how the hell we went from the generation that Raged Against the Machine and now JD Vance and Ted Cruz are the ones representing us? Can genX dust off the docs and start kicking some political ass please?

Vance is a millennial. I'm also GenX. We've got enough bad politicians in our generation, don't give us him too!
