This idea of bashing the political choices of Millennials by looking at their life style choices seems little different than the attacks on the Boomer youth in the 60's and 70's by the Silents and Greatest Gen. To their elders and in the media, Boomers were ne'er-do-wells who just wanted to listen to rock, watch TV, and get high, all while breaking down sexual norms. The youth campaign for McCarthy in '68 and disappointment with nominee HHH may be a parallel to the Bernie movement in 2016.
They were. And add raising the millennials to the list.
