minus-squareCruxifux@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year ago“Young people don’t vote” is typically something people say as a reason for why progressives don’t get in. Nobody ever says the reason there isn’t more republicans in office is because young people don’t vote… like come on man.
minus-squareelouboub@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoBro, older people vote more conservative, younger people vote more progressive. Also here are the stats: young people are dead last in terms of voter participation. Those are presidential elections, but I’m sure if you check out your municipal or state elections it’ll be way worse. If young people had the same voter participation as older people, we’d see way more progressive policies.
