[sandyd921]

10. Lady boomer

I happily voted for Kamala! Very depressed with the apparent result! How could that degenerate win again? Apparently a high proportion of our population is incapable of discerning who really cares about and is capable of addressing their needs.

[cilla4progress]

11. 2 Kamala votes

Here in the red part of Washington state.

1955

[duncang]

But short they are in numbers

[generalbetrayus]

41. Joy Reid on MSNBC expounded at length that the GenXers elected tRump.

[love_katz]

17. Boomer who voted for Harris/Walz.

I have been voting for 52 years. I have always voted for Democrats. I have NEVER voted for pukes.

Too many people get caught up in the personalities of candidates, and forget to look at their party's platform.

The pukes have been consistently anti-woman, anti-Earth, anti-body, which their religions tell them are evil, sinful and fallen. Ironically, they are only pro-death and pro- oppression, which is completely contrary to their claims of being pro-life and pro-freedom.

[demodonkey]

18. I voted Harris but I am a Generation Jones

Born near the end of the so-called baby boom. Entering adult life in a time of frequent recessions, Gen Jones never had all the advantages that boomers did. I have much SO more in common with millenials and GenZ than I do boomers.

Anyway, I proudly voted Harris/Walz.

[love_katz]

19. I voted for Harris for all the reasons in your video.

As an old video says, " The Dirty Rotten Hippies Were Right".

We fought so hard, but not much has changed.

Too many people can still be swayed by vicious bigoted fear mongering rhetoric.

[appalachiablue]

66. Voila

[Trueblue Texan]

20. All three boomers in my household voted for Kamala. Nt

[Granny Blue]

21. 2 boomers in this Minneapolis house for Harris

1949/1954.

And just to challenge stereotypes, my Gen X son and daughter in law in Tennessee also voted Harris. We didn’t raise fools!

[Marigold]

22. Me and my husband too

[usonian]

23. Too young to vote for JFK. I made up for it every chance I got.

"Little daughter" and I are about 30 years older than these two, but we think young.



OKAY, A bit more than 30 for me.

[Hippasus]

96. She's about the age of...

…my great-granddaughter.

[gizmodog]

24. Idaho boomer

Voted for Kamala, so did boomer hubby & 2 boomer brothers

[Norbert]

25. Two boomers for Harris/Walz

There is no surprise here. I am the same person I always used to be. The first presidential election I remember was when John F Kennedy won. I adored and believed in him.

[Cha]

26. I'm a War Baby and Voted for Kamala/Walz Of Course.

[CentralMass]

27. 1960, and my brother 1958 and my sister1956.

[electric_blue68]

28. 2 NYC'rs here. Me '53 and my sis '57. 👍👍

[G_j]

29. here

[Woodycall]

30. Yup

[radical noodle]

31. Both my husband and myself voted straight Democratic ticket

proudly supporting Harris/Walz. Born 1947

[yellowdogintexas]

32. Mr YD and I are definitely Boomers!!!

1948 both of us
Fort Worth TX

The first President I remember is Eisenhower. I was 12 when JFK was elected, and cast my first presidential vote for Hubert Humphrey in 1968. (We could vote at 18 in Kentucky back then [since 1956].
I have voted for one Republican: Senator Howard Baker of Tennessee. He must be rolling in his grave!

[appalachiablue]

65. I liked Sen Howard Baker, good man.

[markodochartaigh]

33. I did and

so did my sister, her husband, my last two living cousins, my nephew, my niece and her husband (he's Muslim so it looks like they will be moving to France, where he's from). But neither my niece nor my nephew is going to have children, so our family will be out of the picture in a few more elections.

[PoliWrangler]

34. Wasnt even a question, Kamala yes

I'm at the tail end of boomers. Voting for Kamala was a no-brainer

[Otto_Harper]

35. Boomer here - voted Kamala, my late wife woulda, my Millennial son did

[Mme. Defarge]

36. Moi aussi!

[niyad]

37. Proud Boomer. Just within my small circle of (mostly boomer) friends,

therewere 16 votes for Harris--Walz, straight Dem all the way down ballot as well.

[Uncle Joe]

38. My first memories were those of watching JFK get shot over and over on the news which seemed to run all day.

Days later they even cancelled the Saturday morning cartoons, and I was angry at first, but that was my initiation into absorbing the news.

The 60s social turmoil and protests for equal and civil rights seems as natural to me as drinking water, life should be fair for everyone.

*rump and today's oligarchs, both national and global are the furthest things from those ideals.

Thanks for the thread TheGreatConspiracy

[BMW2020RT]

39. 👋🏼

[mainer]

40. Got my vote and my baby boomer hubby's

I think Boomers went for Harris. It was the 35-60 year old white voters who didn’t.

[cassie321]

42. 1949

I continue to be stunned by their cruelty. I recall them celebrating when the house voted to repeal the ACA.

[soldierant]

43. I am technically not a Boomer, having been born in August '45,

bt i claim Boomer status because I was conceived when I was because my father was discharged earlt for medical reasons.

I have never voted for a Republican for anyting in my life ans was not about to start now.

Back in the day my Mom and Dad could register, one as Republican, one as Democrat, in order to get information from both sides because back in the day it contained unfornation,, not merely lies and propaganda. That would not be possible today. My Dad passed away when I was 4 days old, so I can't discuss his voting record. But Mom always voted for Democrats.

[generalbetrayus]

44. My girlfriend and I are both boomers and we both proudly voted for Kamala.

Way back in the past I was a moderate Republican, but have voted Democratic for President since 1984 (I missed the chance to vote in 1980 because of a conflict, but would not have voted for Ronnie Raygun if I had voted.) I have only voted for one Republican down-ballot since 1980. Boomers are the generation that protested the Vietnam War and mostly supported progressive issues. Of course, there are/were Boomers who never saw the light.

[Faux pas]

45. Me and all my

booming friends and their kids

[Ohioboy]

46. Proud Harris voter here

She was the only one on the ballot qualified.

[bunny planet]

47. Boomer for Kamala

Me too, voted for Kamala!

[Kalifornia9]

48. Blue boomer vote

In a central valley county that turned red this round. I've been too depressed to even look at a Polly tickle site until today.
Stupidity and complacency reigns supreme. I've lost all hope.

[PortTack]

49. Kaboom for Kamala

[Duppers]

50. Very old Boomer here.

[wryter2000]

58. Here

Greatest vote I ever cast

[TheGreatConspiracy]

59. Per usual, YouTube comments...

… are entirely nasty messages from angry MAGAs.

[Akacia]

60. 1956 Boomer here voted Blue on my entire ballot.

[Bitbit]

61. Three boomers at this house in

BLUE DOT, BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA 🔵

[GoodRaisin]

62. I'm a blue boomer.

[Loupe Garoue]

63. She was a great candidate and

The only non-criminal candidate. My heart is breaking over losing our democracy because people are too stupid to remember what happened a few years ago. I also don’t think he won fairly, which he telegraphed because he wants us to know he can get away with anything..

[Loupe Garoue]

64. She was a great candidate and

The only non-criminal candidate. My heart is breaking over losing our democracy because people are too stupid to remember what happened a few years ago. I also don’t think he won fairly, which he telegraphed because he wants us to know he can get away with anything..

[phylny]

67. Me, my husband, every one of my

Boomer friends, both brothers, two sisters-in-law.

We’re all white.

[ShepKat]

68. 2 in this household of 2

Livid doesn't describe my rage at the dum phucks who voted otherwise to throw every woman under the bus. Idiots.

[Submariner]

69. Kamala earned her vote

what a sad end to her campaign. I am barely containing my rage. I have share the same space and breathe the same air of 72 million racist scum.

Today is Veteran's Day. Trump should NEVER be allowed into ANY veterans cemetery ever.

If he is allowed entry to a veterans cemetery, hopefully, for his sake, some homeless veteran from the graveyard and doesn't emerge and beat him to a bloody fucking pulp to show him what so-called suckers and losers thinks of him. I can't say more without having the USSS up my ass, so welcome to fucking hell.

[Blue Dawn]

70. Voted for Harris/Walz.

1952
1954
1955
1962

[allegorical oracle]

71. Couldn't vote in Fla until 21, but cast first ballot for "Clean Gene McCarthy". Have been

left ever since. Am 77 in Fla.

[mike_c]

72. ding, ding, ding

The wife and I both. We'll both be 70 in a few months.

[Dalimama]

73. Boomer here...

Voted for Kamala without and second’s doubt. Boomer sister, brother, husband, cousin all voted for Kamala in SC, Ohio, CA and Virginia.
My first vote was for McGovern and I have never voted Republican. We were brought up to believe in common decency and vile behavior was a deal breaker. My family was mostly educators and valuing support for public schools was a priority. There’s no doubt that both my parents and in-laws who are all deceased would have voted Harris/Walz.

[nolabear]

74. Of course.

I’m still reeling. But I know so many of us did.

[MineralMan]

75. Me. My wife.

[Doodles]

76. Absolutely!

Yes, voted all Kamala—did postcards, door knocking and phone banking. Also my husband and 4 daughters ages 36-46 all voted for her too. They are devastated and worried about their reproductive “freedoms” in particular.

[oberle]

77. 100 year old

mother voted for Kamala, as did her Boomer daughter and son, and Gen X care giver.

[Ananda62]

78. I voted for Harris

Born in 1962, so also considered “ Generation Jones.” My older boomer siblings also voted for Harris.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

79. Here! I'm 69.

[BigMin28]

80. 1962

I voted for Harris. As did my son, and mother. My first vote at 18 was proudly for Jimmy Carter. Have a few of tsf's kind in the family. They are all unusually quiet. They better be careful. They all rave about and look forward to the Christmas dinner my mother, daughter, and I cook every year. Be a shame if that was canceled.

[Ocelot II]

81. Me. I don't know anybody who didn't.

[Permanut]

82. 1945 here, Mrs. Permanut and I proudly voted for Kamala/Tim..

Voted for Richard Nixon in '68, learned my lesson in time to vote for for Jimmy Carter in '76.

[-misanthroptimist]

83. That's me!

My wife, too. And my sister. (Neither of whom have accounts here.)

So what list am I going on?

[mtngirl47]

84. Boomer and old hippy and I voted and worked for Kamala

Plus I raised my kids right and they voted for Kamala.

[VGNonly]

85. I voted for Jimmy Carter

for my first presidential election, rock solid democrat ever since. My parents were hard line RWers, as were my siblings.

I'm 67.

[IA8IT]

86. Born'52 For Kamala in 2020$ and 2024$$$$ Wife on ACA end of her life. Diabetic son. Medical Security!!!!!! My Issue!!

[Redleg]

87. Fucking A she got my vote

Last year of the baby boomers.

[EastBayGuy]

88. Of course I voted for my hometown gal!

But it's clear that no democratic messaging will ever make it through Fox news.

[Alwayshopefull]

89. Absolutely

She had my and my family’s votes

[bluesbassman]

90. Me, my wife, my sis and her husband, and my brother.

The rest of the generations down the line are a mixed bag I'm afraid. Breaks my heart, but it pretty much tracks with what you see in the polls and in the media.

[elocs]

91. In over 50 years of voting I've only ever voted for Democrats and only ever will.

I watched some of the Harris election night party at Howard U and they were so confidently celebratory that it was surreal in hindsight. How sad.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

92. I voted for Harris and Collin Allred

[joanbarnes]

93. Me, all my extended family, siblings, in laws, nieces, nephews, neighbors, pool ladies.....,

[Greybnk48]

94. I'm a Boomer (like most of us here). I've voted in every Presidential election since I was 19.

I've voted for Hubert Humphrey my first election, and for almost every Dem since then right up to Kamala. One exception was Jimmy Carter, oddly enough. I voted for Ford and we lost, thank goodness. But I have to say I liked Gerald Ford and his wife Betty. I had no idea what a wonderful person Jimmy Carter is/was at the time. I thought he was too religious. What a dumb ass I was.
I'm sad beyond words about Kamala. I don't see how we'll ever have as perfect a female candidate as her again. She was and is amazing.

[Hippasus]

95. 1957 and 1952 for Kamala

I think that makes us both boomers, although I do sometimes get confused about the generational cutoffs (and even their names!).

https://m.

[John Farmer]

97. I voted for Kamela!

I thought she was going to win, too!

I have a bumper-sticker on my truck: Felon or Prosecutor, choose wisely.
