Philip BumpVivek Ramaswamy's proposal to limit voting for those under 25 is an obvious attempt to skew elections in his party's favor. But it's also a reflection of the overlap between age and party that's downstream from the baby boom. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/11/long-shot-gop-candidate-wants-limit-voting-by-younger-americans/

Sharon Gibson Morgan@pbump Wait a minute here. I'm a Baby Boomer...an African American one.
I'm a union baby & a civil rights baby.
My parents marched w Dr. King. My Mom's mother warned her that "Martin Luther King is going to get you killed." Coming from MS, she was justifiably frightened. But Mama said she had to do what she had to do.
Given there are so many who've died for Blacks to have the right to vote, voting long has been a sacred act in our family.
So, please, let up with the broad brush.
@SharonGibson3 did you read the article?
@pbump No. Honestly, I was referring to your statement alone. But this is not the first time I've read something denigrating Baby Boomers.
