    Generations do have voting habits though

    What you mean to say is simply that environment influences behavior. “Generations” are just arbitrary buckets that reinforce stereotypes and create division. A young gen x person likely has a lot more in common with an old millennial than an old gen x person.

      Yeah it ticks me off when people get pedantic about generations. It’s like y’all know they’re just a marketing thing, right? So marketing firms can act like they know whatever generation they’re talking about. It’s not some official thing.

      Please don’t say what I meant to say. If I am incorrect i am is all. I think generations have a valid similarity because of the world at the time.

      Mean didn’t say the exact generations as said by books but people who grow up in a similar political and economic environment probably are impacted by that situation and that sort of happens, Which is more what I meant.
