Younger voters typically turn out on Election day rather than in advance. Right, but you’d think the URGENCY of this election would motivate younger people more. Meanwhile people who will be dead in 20 years or less are the most eager to control our lives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's disappointing and not funny at all. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ✧*:・゚ ᶠʳᵒⁿᵗ ᵗᵒʷᵃʳᵈ ᵉⁿᵉᵐʸ (*´艸`*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus older people tend to have more free time to go out and vote early. And access to mail ins/early voting is highly dependent on local election laws which may prevent younger voters doing so The gays know how to party Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially under 30. I’m tried of the excuses especially where I live where early voting runs for 2 weeks straight for 12 hours a day. If you don’t vote it’s a choice at this point.

It absolutely is a choice and in elections like this you have to hold your nose and just put the damn tick in the box. But equally, under 30s as an age group haven't had it this bad for decades. Neither party has delivered for young people this side of the millennium. So it's not surprising that as an age group the voter activity is so low. They've never won no matter the colour.

Biden saw an increase in voter turnout in 2020 and has tried and delivered for student loan forgiveness. People need to realize if they don’t become active these politicians won’t care to please your demographic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politicians failed the generation, the generation as a result doesn't trust them and votes less, the politicians do even less for them. Doesn't help how few seats change hands in the House & Senate these days preventing younger candidates getting in compared to European nations as a recent example. Besides, the current generation of politicians will be dead after 1 more cold spell 💀 The gays know how to party Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LateToCult 41,830 Posted October 23, 2024 Share Posted October 23, 2024 WA state, which has had mail-only voting since 2011, has seen a nearly 50% drop in returned ballots compared to this time in 2020. Similar in California. However you spin it, there’s an enthusiasm problem for the Dems out west so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
