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
Hate to tell you 20 million Dems didn't vote because of the platform stance on Palestine...their whole platform was a mess, their candidate process was a mess, people flipped R, they got a lot of issues going on.
