Thing is, it's not the same "they". Those who profited off the working class and shut the door behind them are not the ones seeing their finances ravaged because their kids live in the basement.

Unless you consider their voting history complicity, which I do.

This really is the most stupid inane culture war attitude. People vote less when they are young. And yes that applies to your parents. There are more young people below 50 than over 50, so get off your backside and vote. The problems of the world today are not down to a specific age or voting pattern; it is down to corporation buying out your politicians. Stop voting Democrats or Republican, they are just one big massive con.

That's a whole lot of bullshit unrelated to what I said. The American voter base is responsible for the state of the country, sorry that's such a controversial statement for you ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
