But there’s too few of us. The elderly are always going to outvote us.

The millennials are the largest generational demographic. Add in the adult segment of Generation Z and the elderly are greatly outnumbered.

But Generation X holds the balance of power. They are the wildcard.

Yeah, but ~51.5% of millennials own a house: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-19/half-of-m...

Good luck hoping for them to vote on tanking house prices.

> Add in the adult segment of Generation Z

That would be about half of them.

Baby Boomers + Gen X = 134 million

Millenials + half of Gen Z = 107 million

Young people are outnumbered, and it’s going to get worse.

Not by the elderly, though. Just like I said, and by your own numbers, Generation X holds the balance of power. They are not yet elderly. Even the oldest ones are still in their 50s – the youngest are still in their early 40s.

Fair enough.
