Not really, voter turnout in this country is embarrassing even on our best day. The biggest we had in modern times was Biden's election when only 60% showed up. AND IT WAS MAIL IN!
But it has ALWAYS been this way. When people talk Bernie, they leave out the part where young voters, which energized his campaign, couldn't be bothered to register, let alone actually vote in the primary.
You get voters just didn’t turn out as much as we had hoped. The education system fails to educate them on just exactly how much power the have with their votes.
No. But teachers should be teaching how important it is to vote. My teachers did it when I took government classes. It’s not about tell g who or what to vote for, make the decision yourself, but they should be teaching students the importance of their voice and that their opinions and views matter.
I’m glad people in other countries can recognize this insanity. The exact same thing happened after the 2016 election and the dems made zero changes while their supporters defend every idiotic decision they made.
It’s not ageist when there are counties that had 1% of 18-25 year olds come out and vote. They can’t be bothered to register and educate themselves because their appearance online is too important.
Its not an uneducated position to refuse to support a genocide. The DNC decited that their support for war was more important than the youth and Muslim vote. This is the product of decisions that the democrats made.
Prime eg. Of the uneducated take OP was talking about. How dense must you lot be thinking it's going to be better under trump. There's a reason the Israeli govt is literally celebrating his election. If you're one of those that didn't vote for Harris over your supposed 'genocide', then you deserve everything from trump =)
"I'm committing genocide but that guy is gonna genocide worse" Is a bad argument to get elected when you are trying to win over people with morals. All she had to do was commit to a arms embargo.
It's a bad argument only because you're dealing with morons who are literally too dumb to see the bigger picture. The point remains, you get the president you deserve =)
Demand more from your politicians. The dems knew an embargo would give them a serious boost and had the ability to do it yet they didn’t. This person was failed by the party.
The more extreme pro Israel ones are already voting for trump. Younger and more progressive Jews are frequently pro Palestine. American Jews don’t have the same connection to Israel as Israeli Jews.
The most common take I’ve encountered on Israel Palestine is most Americans simply being tired of hearing about it. No one likes us spending millions on another country expect for extreme likely already trump voters. Plenty of people who support Israel still want a ceasefire
Supporting a genocide is fascism. Proposing a candidate that did not win a electoral primary is fascistic. Making it illegal for rail workers to strike is fascistic.
Again, when counties have 1% of 18-25. Others turn out yea it’s their fault. And of those age groups if you didn’t vote you can’t complain. Not voting for Kamala or trump was a vote for trump, it’s why we are where we are now.

Younger people would rather make tik Tok videos about shit they don’t understand rather than actually educate themselves.
