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.
Instead of downvoting me to oblivion why don’t YOU LOT tell me why you wouldn’t vote? Y’all downvoters have female reproductive organs that you no longer have control over?
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?
