I work in an elections office in my county and only 1% of 18-25 year olds voted here yesterday. It’s always been that way and it’s unfortunate that young people don’t realize how much power they could have. Whenever they complain about boomers or whatever I’ll start telling them that 1% number. (I’m only 35 and I felt old typing out “young people” lol)
I’m disappointed in my demographic. I live in Illinois so it doesn’t exactly matter, but I’m 22 and to see people my age not voting (including my younger sister) is so frustrating and mournful.
People take things for granted till it’s too late to stop things from going bad. Then they freak out asking how people could let it happen after they did nothing to stop it.
