One pollster sees “flashing red” signs on youth turnout as Gen Z and millennial voters, who are not satisfied with either party, could again play a decisive role in the next election.
I imagine just about everyone reading this is going to vote. I think people are downvoting you because you seem to be assuming that people with a vested interest will reliably vote for that interest, which historically just isn’t true. The reasons are usually either simple apathy, or a sense of futility in voting, that “my vote wont make a difference so why bother?” That obviously adds up on such a large scale, but people still think that way.
I mention that interest specifically because its fucking mind blowing to me that I have to mention it at all. There’s PLENTY more to be irate about and vote for.
I used to feel like voting was futile, especially in 2016. I voted and it amounted to nothing. BUT I still voted in 2020. I’m in an echo chamber of my own ‘ideals’ (human rights?) where I see and consume information about youngins voting in droves this upcoming election, and blasting the midterms. Perhaps propaganda?
