    Thing is, even in places where there are parties that cater to the younger electors, they don’t come out to vote. Where I live 18-35 are under 50% with 65+ close to 80%, that’s with guaranteed 4h off work to vote and a left wing party that truly is left wing with younger candidates and other options all over the spectrum.

    Not all places only have two options but even with more choices young people don’t care about elections.

      Thing is, even in places where there are parties that cater to the younger electors, they don’t come out to vote.

      When Biden stepped aside, young people registered to vote in greater numbers than when Taylor Swift told them to.

      Listening to young people generates enthusiasm. But that would be bad for people who support genocide for the love of genocide. And foreign actors trying to influence US foreign policy.

      Capitulating to Republicans gains nothing, but the party keeps doing it anyway.

        They registered, they have yet to vote.

        You’re allowed to look at examples from outside the US to form an opinion you know?

          You keep ignoring that Democrats have no problem addressing the concerns of people who don’t vote for them, provided those people are Republicans.

            Because, again, they have more votes to gain there than on the left where it’s mostly younger people that won’t turn out to vote either way.

              Those never materialize, but Democrats do it anyway. It’s almost like they want to move to the right and will use any excuse to.

              than on the left where it’s mostly younger people that won’t turn out to vote either way.

              Versus Republicans who overwhelmingly vote against Democrats every time. Yeah, you just want to move to the right since it means continuing support for genocide.
