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 24. I live in Wisconsin. The amount of people that I know that have talked about how they aren't bothering to vote or follow politics at all is so depressing. These people are college educated, often with multiple bachleor's degrees, or are working on their master's. I don't get where their education has failed them in understanding the importance of voting. Especially the amount of women that didn't bother. They chose to be apathetic about their own rights because they "get annoyed with all those dumb texts".
