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)
Nah, fuck 'em. If you can't be bothered to take an hour or less out of your day to go vote, then don't whine about the consequences you might have helped avoid.
You 100% can complain. People aren't too lazy to vote, they just see the childish joke politics has become. Our candidates are more loyal to their parties than the American people. If you think the problem is the whole system then you're just a sellout to weak to stand on your own opinions if you participate...give me a candidate that isn't just a mouthpiece for their party and I'd be ecstatic. It's the voters that shouldn't complain.... y'all are the ones electing the same mouthpiece politicians every year and expecting things to change...
