How ridiculous, really. You throw away your ability to change things that you have now, because you have to vote for someone older than you? That is not civic awareness; it is prejudice.
Maybe it's because there is a precedent there when Boomers overwhelmingly voted for Reagan. That didn't exactly work out well for those outside of, say, the top 15 percent. This was the beginning of the widening inequality we see today.
No, because
1) core boomers voted for Reagan at lower levels than any other group, and
2) If millennials don't want to vote for Boomers or even Xers or Silents, then they probably won't care who they voted for before they were born, and very likely don't even know who voted for whom.
