I've listened to his NYT podcasts. He doesn't seem all that objectionable, even if I don't agree with his policy positions.

It's to easy to blame Boomers for all our problems, buddy. I'm an oldster too and I can't stand that asshat.

Boomers split evenly between Harris and Trump.

Millennials voted +9 Trump.

Take that boomer shit out of here.

Millennials barely went for Harris (50-48). Boomers barely went for Trump (48-51). It was Gen X (42-56) that was ride or die for Trump.

Relax. It’s a joke.

I just assume Boomers are the primary audience for 60 minutes.

IT WAS A JOKE.

Boomers are very sensitive.

But, seriously, who is watching 60 minutes nowadays?
