Older voters are more likely to have voted for Trump, but also young men.
And younger voters simply don’t vote as much…
I find the generational bait pretty hard to buy into when some generations can’t be bothered to even vote…

I think this is one of the biggest problems with the US. It seems like it is by design and is very sad. Other nations with mandatory voting seem to have done much better fighting against both extremism and the otherwise overwhelming influence of older voters. Voter suppression isn't an option in these places.
Just two options from two insular parties sucks.
Indeed, 11 Republican-controlled states have legislation that bans any use of RCV in elections at any level within those states.

Sorry liberals, but it's a bad idea to assume that a predominantly catholic conservative minority will ever be reliable voters for you. Democrats will need to among other things stop being pro choice to ever recover the latino vote.
Ah, but boomers are not just old voters. Boomers are also owners and sponsors of faux news that has brainwashed the young men into thinking that maga cares about them - only to get their votes and then revert to serving the billionaire overlords.
The generational issue here is that the old people are actively brainwashing and sabotaging the youth - even outside voting.
I’m old, nobody who owns a media outlet listens to me because of my demographic status.
And still if young people cared enough they could have voted and made a difference, but they did not.
Young people do care but they expect older people to care about the next generation - in a functional society that is. If the young were taught right from childhood that the elders are sabotaging them, they will show up - and it will be bad for the boomers lying to them constantly.
We're on our second Trump administration now, but someone assumed someone else would vote the way they wanted for them?
I don't buy it.
It is a mistake on the younger generation's part to expect sanity from elders - this is the reality that they are not taught as kids. That's why we have geriatric pedophiles ruling the country. And this will not change because the geriatric pedophiles are trying their hardest to destroy education in large swathes of the country.

Yes, because that someone was likely a kid 8 years ago - literally could have been 10 year olds. They don't have the knowledge, education, experience that a 70 year old boomer has. And the 70 year olds are making sure the misinformation continues so that the newly minted 18 year old votes against their own interests.
This is literally the southern republican playbook. You don't need to buy my argument. You only need to accept that boomers have sabotaged for far longer before the 18 year old even had a chance to cast the first vote.
