    just not successfully

    Depends on the POV. The politicians factored it in by almost exclusively making decisions for the old, and they’re getting reelected. Quite successful.

    They betrayed everyone else, and everyone else’s future, for this.

        Become rich and buy a politician. Or become ultra rich and buy an entire party of politicians. Maybe even multiple parties, just to make sure you get what you paid for no matter what the next election’s outcome may be.

        Old people are getting fucked over just as well, by the way. They are being betrayed with empty promises just like everyone else. This old vs. young thing is only a diversion to distract the population from the real problem: Rich vs. poor.
