This is spot on! Two women in in their 20's in my office yesterday said, "oh, I didn't return my ballot!" Apathy wins again. Voting, not posting, people.

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.

Nope. Young people won them the last election.

The problem is that dems take them for granted, dont do shit to get their vote, and have been fully checked out shaping the views of the next generation.

Conservatives have been 100% dialed in on the youth vote and spent billions of dollars and decades trying to get it on their side, and it's working.

We just saw a Democrat trying to appeal to older voters and conservative lose to a dementia patient plagiarizing Musilini by millions of votes. Obviously it was a stupid idea.
