A lot of the far right are millennials and Gen Z. While the proportions in different generations are different, this isn’t purely a generational thing. The implied message is that we can “wait them out,” but that is basically just the same as doing nothing. We can’t do nothing. We have to motivate people to vote, and then get them to volunteer and have them get others to vote.

If that’s what the map would look like if younger generations voted like 65+, then go get those people voting so we get that map next election.

A blue map doesn’t feel very good when the results are continued genocide, republican border bills, and “the most lethal military in the world”.

I’m not saying don’t vote blue, but lets not pretend young voters have much to be excited about.

That’s such a great point.

I’ve been hearing this bullshit “Wait them out” message for 30+ years. There is no waiting out bad ideas and propaganda. You have to fight it with truth and activism.

But the exact same politicians have been in power for those 30+ years as well.

There’s also no waiting out groups who have no intention of maintaining even a semblance of a democratic Republic with participation, balanced arms of government, and blind justice.

Listen, one side supports holocaust and wants endless wars with no Medicare4All or minimum wage increases, and the otherside wants the same. The literal only candidate not to stick to that script is insane Trump who is problematic for all his own reasons. The real lesson is people would rather not vote than support someone shitty, and call me crazy but that I live in NYC and only see more Trump Flags and literal looks of disgust when mentioning Harris, has me pretty convinced shes gonna lose really badly, like this might be in history books next to to failure.

“Literal looks of disgust” probably when you’re at the local Nazi bar and say her name. NYC will overwhelmingly vote blue so you’re just being delusional. 🌻🌻🌻

Ok here me out, Black folks tell me she needs to sit the fuck down and slow her roll, Indians tell me they will not vote for a women, Asians say they can’t support a no bail prosecutor, Muslims call her Israeli and say she must be from Ethiopia, the ”white dudes” I see on TV all day are like her or Trump is that a joke? Again I do not see support that isn’t Trump Hate. You know, what do you like about Harris so maybe I could learn something today?
