And, Democrats can't figure out why Trump won.

It's been a trend since about 2000. Notice about 2008? Baby boomers started retiring. It will continue for about a decade.

You still don't get it. Maybe Trump's reelection will be easier.

That is why we put a man like Trump in there.

Oh, and that damn Obama screwing with everybody' s insurance. That bag of shi* screwed us over on that deal. I get mad over that shi*.

I am confused, if people are leaving the workforce, would that not make them more inclined to vote for a Democrat?

That's what I thought. Evidently, there is still real widespread shame in the bum community. Again, I believe it goes back to the Democrats not getting the blacks out being why they lost. The blacks have been more sold on the idea that they're entitled to the freebies. Whites not so much. There is shame with them. Shame at being worthless.

That's kind of good. I like it. I used to envy the white bums for getting everything handed to them, but they're not happy with it.

Baby Boomers are somewhat of a factor in the decline of participation rates, but as multiple studies point out, this is not the main cause.

Not that Greed would ever read a link that would refute his small world understanding, (he's too big of a coward) I'll offer one anyway. It puts a lot of this debate within an accurate context.
