Seeing that most of the people in positions of power are Baby Boomers, they aren't doing such a good job.
With Baby Boomers in power, there will continue to be discrimination, misandry, these stupid laws regarding guns and protection, and more division (although I'm in favor of certain types of segregation).
So what do you think? Would society and America be in better shape if Gen Xers or Yers were in positions of power?

H-e-l-l NO. It would be FAR worse under them. Xers and Yers are the product of Boomer education and ideals no way that anything would be better.

No not yet give em a few years in the real world and let the brainwashing from Liberalism fade
Gen-X'ers aren't that young anymore; they are getting into their 40's. However, with longer lifespans and longer career lengths, they may have to wait a while longer before coming into any sort of real power. The average age of the US Senate is now something like 63, so, that wait may be quite a long one.

Have a little faith in your children. My father may not agree with everything I stand for politically, and I may think he is a blooming idiot, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand that I have educated myself on the issues, and I made up my own mind.
We have two parties for a reason, or at least we did. There are deep divides in this country on how people think it should be run. Both sides have merit on paper, and we learn through trial and error. But when you start saying things like these about your children, and those of the next generation, well, you aren't putting much faith in this country. America was, is, and can be great when you have faith in the youth of this country. You may not see it, but most Gen x'ers and y'ers work hard, understand whats going on, and try everyday to be the best citizens they can be.
Just because you disagree with some of their positions, does not make us afterbirth.

What's stopping you from running for public office?

Well that's another thing - running a simple campaign for a US House seat that includes a contested primary can cost several million dollars, or even tens of millions if you are running a contested election in a major media market.
Not that many younger folks have that kind of cash to toss around, nor "connections" that could help raise it.

Their perceptions form their position.
Their perceptions form from, and comply with, their peers, pitting them in a collectivist consensus of the "whole".
Buncha FKN blind idiots, who think they "understand".
They value the demise of creativity, and gobble up any garbage presented to them that is, "new".
They came of age in the 70's, which was a period of total mental stagflation.
A burned out and beat down era.
They got tacky brains entirely dependent on the nearest collectivist tribalism.
