Hey young voters, HELP! The Democrats need you to vote for them.

Here's a link to an article: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2022-04-30/gen-z-voters-democrats-biden-approval-ratings

Here is a picture of what you guys look like that I found on the interwebs - ooh - and Biden's in it!:

It’s an opinion piece that says Democrats are loosing interest with young voters unhappy with the lack of results. The young Republicans are more motivated. It’s a warning to Democrats to not take for granted the youth vote if they do then even larger losses may be seen in the midterms.

Thanks. You put more into this than the OP.
 
A bar's height matters.

Seeing as the young Democrat voters generally want a whole bunch of things that would be good but are unrealistic in this country for the simple reason that raising taxes to pay for what you're spending is considered a sin, it's not surprising that they're upset. Biden can't deliver on those things. The Democratic party isn't lined up neatly like that. A lot more center-left people are out there than Fox would ever dare let you know.

Whereas, what do Republicans stand for?

- Tax cuts;

- Obstructing anything a Democrat wants and pushing the opposite of what they think a Democrat might want while being the biggest assholes conceivable about it ("owning the libs");

- Fighting and trying to scare away the other.

(What? If it was about having robust lawful immigration and low illegal immigration, they'd clear the barriers they raised to legal immigration to provide a much more streamlined process and they'd make it so expensive to get caught hiring illegals that it cannot be considered a cost of business. They'd be passing mixed border security bills with the Democrats and without focusing on a Great Wall of Derp. They don't. That's because it's not about the legality of immigration. It's about who and from where, with a related and what people tend to look like there thrown in).​


Point being... there really isn't all that much for a young Republican to get upset about. Trump is still being awful, which annoys decent people. Libs owned. They've gotten tax cuts that have us in massive debt just about whenever they've wanted them. Libs owned. And they still get to put on a show of caring the hardest about illegal immigration while doing jack shit about it. Libs pwned.

Democrats haven't figured out yet that young people aren't going to be enthusiastically supporting the "moderate" oligarchic status quo bullshit that destroyed housing opportunities, skyrocketed the cost of education, and destroyed the job market all before they even finished highschool. Especially with all these brain-dead boomers having no concept of just how the math has changed regarding cost of living, cost of education, cost of housing, and cost of health insurance vs. what these young people can make at these entry level jobs. Old people yelling at kids for being "lazy" and "entitled" because they're not just falling over themselves in gratitude for these slave-labor jobs that will never get them anywhere. Being told to suck it up by the very people who robbed them of their futures.

They somehow learned every wrong lesson from 2016 and even 2020. They think "status quo" has more appeal than it does, because status quo was being compared to Donald ****ing Trump. They had this rallying point of "this guy's a lunatic and we gotta keep him away from the white house" and they still lost 2016. Why? Because Hillary Clinton was poster child for establishment Democrat status quo bullshit. It worked in 2020 because the nation had four years of the constant shitshow that is Donald Trump and they were sick of it. But I truly believe this just reaffirmed the Democratic party's belief that status quo is good rather than just preferable to madness.

The kids have been handed a crappier future than their parents had at their age. You want their vote? Get them some results. Higher minimum wage, affordable college, affordable housing, affordable healthcare. Their parents and grandparents had these things. We're supposed to leave things better for future generations, not worse.

The bar is on the floor. Young Democrats want things that are the norm all over the world. If Democrats are unwilling to even try to deliver those things because SOCIALISM BAD, then Democrats deserve to lose.
