No one was expecting grandma to know this in 1960. Grandma had plenty of chances to vote for fixing it any time in the past 60 years but she didn't give a fuck because she'd be dead anyway. Gen Z didn't have the votes to fix it, but they have to live with it. They have every right to be upset.
Look at you talk like whatever grandma voted always won. It’s been a bipartisan joke since the beginning and neither side succeeded when they had the chance. Proof that it didnt EVER matter what your grandma voted. You could have had vote pink or purple. Doesn’t matter. Both won at different times, and this shit still happened. It’s a misnomer to even pretend she had the power of vote to change that.
Go back to school and finish your maths.
Chill and stop taking out your stresses on others.
You first: stop taking your shit out on the elderly.
I never said anything about the elderly, maybe stop listening to the voices in your head?
I'm obviously talking about the grandmas who voted in the wrong direction. And they were very much part of the problem. Saying otherwise is taking away their agency. And yes, that includes primaries. It wasn't a binary lose/lose choice, the people did and do have influence on who ends up on the final ballot.
