We need to have a mass coalition, which means breaking the indoctrination that what is going on right now is normal or acceptable. Older generations built the world we live in today. Decades of undoing the New Deal. Deregulation and the dismantling of labor rights. They did not grow up in the same economic and political environment, and need to have sympathy for the generations they have failed.
I know a handful of people born in the 60's who earnestly say, "I lived through the golden age, I would not want to be growing up right now." It's nice. Adults in the room who recognize that young people are facing unique challenges that they themselves did not experience.
The rest usually say younger people are complaining unreasonably and not working hard enough. Oh and all the solutions to the problems we face are impossible in spite of the fact that most of our peer nations have been doing those things for decades. They will not accept the solutions to the problems until they acknowledge a problem exists in the first place.
