      Ahhh, shitting on the most disenfranchised age segment on our country. Surely, shitting on them will make them vote and feel good about doing it.

      Maybe celebrate the fact that they’re even willing to still try to participate, before talking shit regarding an election that hasn’t even happened yet?

          Empathy and understanding may improve those stats in your favor, rather than whatever it is you’re doing right now. Telling zoomers and millennials that they won’t vote before you even give them a chance probably won’t motivate them to vote.

            You are making assumptions of what I’m “doing” based on who you want me to be for some online argument. You don’t know me.

              No, I’m not making assumptions. You did that by automatically assuming young people wouldn’t vote. I even said “whatever it is that you’re doing” in my last comment. Does that sound like an assumption to you?

              I don’t care who you are. Your original attitude will not cause the younger vote to want to turn out. You are working against your interests (that is, if you want the dems to win, in which case, sure, I assumed that is what you wanted).

                Statistics show that range is less likely to vote. It’s not saying anything other than that or making any assumptions as to why.

                  Statistics are trending in the other direction. Why not talk about that instead of demoralizing the young voter base any further?

                    Why not just supply information on the contrary, instead of carrying on with insults?

                    Because you like to fight more than you like to defend the young voters.

      That’s supposed to be a bad thing? Lol

      It simply shows how disillusioned the new generations are about a false dilemma and that they seek a change these two clown parties can’t offer. Hard to do so when both are funded by the same interests. So I’d say that with pride if I were you
