The machine would stop having elections at that point, or just come up with more convolutions to try and undermine the sentiments within the movement of any emerging “public consciousness”.
The revolution Must Not be Televised (or on the internet, lol)
I wouldn’t put money on it (especially since that technology is precisely what has gotten us into such catastrophes as for example all the oil cartels buying government influence around the world, wanting to continuously gain access to more of natures most profitable industrial raw material, despite all of us now recognizing what it would mean to actually burn all of it, and how, generally, the creation and use of better ways of capturing energy and byproducts from oil refineries, is not worth the tradeoff of letting robber barons around the now-more-global-than-ever world’s economy own nearly the whole of the worlds reserves of various resources through private claims made to vast scales of area of the globe is not, and will not likely ever end up being, a valuable or productive enough use case for those landscapes, and that the systems of measure we have been using to determine compensation, resource pricing, and measuring+recording debts have all contained various major design flaws which had not been established with enough guard rails in place [or maybe one could argue that no such single use currency could have enough guard rails, so perhaps upwards of 3 or 4 might be required] to be able to protect innocent lives throughout nature which have all each found their niche by carefully and patiently adapting a resilience to survive and thrive another day, despite constantly changing adversity throughout their environments.)
No need for the unnecessary hostility. It’s obvious that plenty of young people are voting for your rich politicians too. US politicians can’t win with only 28% of the vote. And US elderly make up a substantial portion of those below the poverty line, and they don’t all vote alike anyway.
The rich and powerful are making us hate each other to distract us of the real problems of the world
while that is true, it is also true that a majority of boomers I know are worth this feeling of contempt and loathing
Yes, but boomers are a chunk of the reason that the rich and powerful continue to be able to grasp and maintain power.
If boomers ceased to exist tomorrow and elections were held, I think there’d be a good swing left. Not a total swing, but substantial.

Good thing it won’t be too long until it’s over.
Disagree, the machine is 99% boomers to begin with. It would cease to exist.

Boomers are only 28% of the US voting population. Try again.
They’re way fucking more than 28% of the fucking politicians dipshit.

Boomers are only 28% of the US voters. Explain why their chunk is more responsible and the younger 72%.
I hate them too but boomers can fuck off as well. Logan’s run was onto something.
