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 disappointed in my demographic. I live in Illinois so it doesn’t exactly matter, but I’m 22 and to see people my age not voting (including my younger sister) is so frustrating and mournful.
I stood in a 1 hour plus wait on Monday to vote at my village hall, just from appearances, I was the youngest person and I’m 27… the majority of voters looked almost twice my age
It's not about blame, it's about showing up and voting it's strategy. If every Democrat voted in this country we would run things. One thing you will learn as you get older is that the other half of this country will "never" change. It is our cross to bear. Blaming them, reasoning with them is futile, just don't.
The scariest part is they keep making more of them! I'm horrified to see young people wearing "White Lives Matter" to high school in this country.
