I'm in my mid-50s and leaning further and further left as the years go by. I cannot stand what is happening to the planet and to the generations younger than myself. Greed and selfishness drive what is happening. I was taught that my child should have a better life than mine, and at least in my family, this has happened. For all the Millenials and Gen-Z who are suffering, I am ashamed of the Boomers and those of my generation who are not fighting for their children's generation. This includes economics and climate.

Socially, I am hard to the left as well. Freedom over one's body is a sacred right. A life lived in love, not fear. Helping one another not fighting. Health for all. Affordable education and daycare. Care for the vulnerable. Love of ALL diversity. Choice over spirituality. Accepting responsibility for past wrongs and making amends.

Sorry, this turned into a rant. Suffice it to say there are those of us out there who want the best for the younger generation, and this shows up as being leftist. 🌹

Same! I don't want younger generations to go through the negative stuff I've been through or my parents and grandparents. I want things to be better for them. I want to break the "generational trauma" that I've experienced.
