I'm starting to see my own generation #Millennials kind of low key going after #zoomers and initially I was part of that until I realized something: it's boils down to frustration of Millennials being the poorest generation in seventy years..
And then seeing article after article promoting zoomers as being more successful than our generation. So it's likely the media pushing Gen Y and Gen Z to go at each other.
Another reason for the split could be because of the 2020 primaries. In 2016 39% of the Dem primary electorate was 44 and younger, in 2020 it was 35% for those bw 18-44. Younger voters did not turn out in large enough numbers which has led to resentment bw Gen Z and Y.
Right now I've had a change of heart and think it's pointless to blame everything that's happened on one generation. My generation was blamed from everything under the sun, just take a look at this Adam Ruins Everything ted talk

I just completed a report on what happened Last Year on Super Tuesday. I'm a social science major and I used my expertise to find out how positive or negative the coverage was of Biden vs @BernieSanders over six weeks.
(1/11)
I drew on an InTheseTimes study of Positive and Negative coverage of Sanders, a Washington Post study showing majority of Americans only read headlines, and an article by Salon on how Biden earned between $70.9 to $100 million in the equivalent of free advertising by the MSM.
I used Google’s advanced settings to identify media coverage of both Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders between key dates. I used seven mainstream media sources for this study: The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, MSM, Politico, The Atlantic, and CNN. 3/11
