    Young people don’t fucking vote. It doesn’t really matter what they want.

    Biden wasn’t shoved down anyone’s throat. Everywhere that mattered in the primaries had single digit turnout for 18-29 year olds.

    • Every year that goes by more and more of them vote. Kids turning 18 today are fired up to vote.

      I’d also like to see the voting age lowered to 16. Even 16 year olds know you don’t take babies from their mother’s arms and lock kids in cages.

        Personally I actually think it should be tied to the working age, and for all schools (but especially highschools) to be made into voting centers.

      The youth thinks voting in a presidential election is all they need to do to make change. That is the bare minimum. You need to vote in every election, small ones that happen locally, every rep and Senate one. You also need to encourage other youths in strong conservative areas to move the needle to more liberal, progressive views. Then you need to get active and show the people running that there is a strong unified voice that demands these changes. But there is tic Tok and I’m pretty tired, cants someone else go and do it?
