hence my focus on voting, because that’s what he was talking about. But also your broader comment is not a good argument for ageism. Plenty of members of the boomer generation exercised other political options than voting. They were not successful, but many of them did try. At any rate, blaming an entire generation for policy failures is about as valid as blaming Trump’s policy failures on folks who voted for Harris.
Have you considered directing your ire at the folks who’ve bought our politicians to advocate for pro-fossil fuel policies, and the folks who bought our media to popularize pro-fossil fuel positions instead of at their victims?
Your options are much greater than voting for politician A or politician B
Dont let your political program be handed down to you.

Sure, but I dont think they as a generation did nearly enough regarding climate change specifically.
And as far as voting goes, they pretty regularly made up the core voter base of administrations which denied or ignored climate change

Yes. They suck too. But they suck as a rule, whereas boomers only suck in general.
