The youth think centrists are useless traitorous war criminal arseholes. You think you can talk down to progressives but somehow get the youth vote? You're on crack.
Didn't 'the youth' break for trump in historic proportions compared to previous elections? The males, at the very least.
Harris lost 6% of youth (under 30). Largely because dems ignored the economy and jobs concerns, according to NPR. https://www.npr.org/2024/11/07/g-s1-33331/unpacking-the-2024-youth-vote-heres-what-we-know-so-far
Ah, so it wasn't that they voted more for trump, just that there was a shift towards him from a solidly democrat lean before... and a huge one in terms of males (41% to 56%, looking at that article), like I said?
sort of, this is like running a trial on whether "murder is bad" and being surprised when somebody answers "no" even though it was an option you gave them.
the youth follows the same trends seen in older demographics, but is still consistently dem/left leaning over all. This is nothing new, and i'm not sure why anybody is really talking about it. If anything, the strongest indicator we have for who you vote for is going to be age group, and then minority/ethnic status.
yeah, that's the meme. That's the problem. People are pretending like it's the 65 year old life long dem voters that are fucking us over, but it's realistically going to be the youth, who mostly don't vote, and when they do, often not productively.
