(3,747 posts)Oh wait, I forgot. It was the baby boomers that actually voted for the Republicans
See how far this gets us?
Maybe if democrats actually had democratic principles to stand by, young people would vote for them. Every single person I know who didn't vote cited that exact reason as to why they didn't. They felt they had no choice, that there was no one who listened to or represented them.
And before you say it, yes, I know damn well that we need to vote. Yes, I think we have a responsibility to do so. Yes, the Republicans are going to screw us over. I encouraged people to vote and worked my butt off to make that happen. That doesn't change the reason that young people didn't. All we're trying to tell you is how to get the millennials to vote, but clearly you're not interested in listening. That really sucks, because as much as you want to blame us and rage at us, you need our votes, or we're all screwed.
