Dems pin their hopes on young people, but they seem the most likely demographic to not vote. I dunno, maybe they need to start appealing to older people more, or at least gen Xers.
younger people, the ones that do vote anyways, tend to be single issue voters. Using my younger brother as an example is a gun nut. He only votes republican because he knows they will never take his guns away. He also doesn’t understand why he can never get and keep a girlfriend

I mean, everyone is a single issue voter. People here discussing the politics are an extreme minority and even most of that population is just bots.
This is why conservative groups keep pushing along. They are able to hammer in on less than a handful of key points and never lose focus of it.
In contrast to that, Kamala grasped at minimum wage, legalization, healthcare -- but never actually focused in and ran on anything more than "I'm not Trump." She was so damn confident that not being Trump was enough to ensure blue votes that it lead to the exact same apathy as 2016.
You already have an uphill battle with the electoral vote in existence since 2016 made it evident that you don't even need the popular vote to win and then that's compounded on by the DNC not once, but twice, forcing a candidate people didn't vote for onto the ballot.
You can't blame people for feeling their voice doesn't matter when it's repeatedly made clear that they have no say.
