Teach them to understand the source of the information. Always follow the money. Who is providing the information and why should you listen to them.

Y'all forget America is imploding and feeding on itself. You think this is not lost on GenZ ???

They can't afford housing. They can't afford food. They can't afford medical care. They can't afford college. They're forced to live in their mother's basement. Every single member of GenZ knows someone who has died from fentanyl overdose (unless they're living under a rock).

You think the disparity between the future they're facing vs. what was possible in their grandparent's generation is lost on them?

Who is kidding whom? Of course they don't want to vote. They're not stupid. They see the forest while y'all are lost looking at the trees.

These are also social media myths going around. Gen Z has the same opportunities that millennials, X, and yes, even Boomers had. This is all being fed into a funnel and there's literally no reality here. Their grandparents actually had it worse with regards to interest rates, inflation, but if I go online today I can find 100 Boomer bashing non facts ,particularly about money and affordability that are just inhaled.

You’re insane.

+100. I don’t know what the PP is smoking but Gen Z does not have the same opportunities as even the millennials…..housing is unaffordable, college is insanely expensive, healthcare costs go up every year, no one is taking climate change seriously and we are too busy sending billions to wars abroad instead of focusing on our problems at home.

Let them vote for Trump then.

You just don’t truly care about the youth vote. You are the problem: not the disaffected younger people you malign and blame. You ignore their economic reality and their view of Gaza at your peril. You cannot insult people and expect them to be enthused about how you see the world. This is basic, basic politics.

A bunch of spoiled brats throwing hissy fits.

You’re just a troll. You cannot be serious. You need to care about votes.

I don't know what *you* are smoking, but all the young millennials and Gen Z I know are buying houses. They aren't big houses, is that it? They are townhouses, smaller SFH. They drive used cars, went to state schools and most have kids or planning to. They live within their means and many just had whatever school debt they had paid off by Biden. Some are continuing in grad school.

I graduated in 1979, biggest recession, gas was rationed, housing mortgage rates were 18% in 1981, I didn't see a low rate like everyone thinks until around 2012.
Here's a tip- you need to train for some career, college or other, work up to a salary, buy or rent within your means. Tik Tok and IG gives everyone money dysphoria- like you should have large kitchens in large houses, trips, clothes, big weddings, etc. You wont live in DC, Seattle, NY, or LA.
Your experience as a 22 year old graduate is literally the same as mine or better. My first salary? 9k. Teacher. Spouse? 17k , last salary-120k after 38 years. I retired after 35 years. Last salary in 2019- 90k . My 28 year old neighbor makes 2x that and has been working since 22, bought a house at 24.

They absolutely can and do all the things you've mentioned. All. There's literally no reason why they cannot. You just like to repeat nonsense, and I see this nonsense daily online. Perpetuated myths.

67,000. I'll continue-
2nd house 78k in 1985 ( job move, smaller house) 13%
3rd house in 1992 11.9 % 120,000 Townhouse

Public servants, low salaries, funded our own graduate school, paid for kids' college, both state schools. Both kids havd been employed since college, own homes.

Why can’t Gen Z see the big picture? Are you all just crazy not to see the wall we are about to hit if Trump gets in again? He’s a dictator and a criminal. How on earth can you all stay on the sidelines and say you aren’t going to vote in the upcoming election because of X, Y, or Z? How can you dare not vote and basically hand the presidential election to Trump, which is what he’s counting on…your apathy and confusion….because you actually think he’s a better candidate and forget everything else he stands for or has done to disrupt peace, including the insurrection?

What the f? Gaza is a genocide. 25,000 civilians killed and 2.3 million homeless facing death by starvation. Gen Z has it right Biden and the old folks home are wrong. This is a values thing. The Democratic Party will not go along with a genocide for a Jewish state.

If you don’t want Trump all you have to do is cut Israel off and a one state solution. I guess you would rather destroy US democracy vs stop the slaughter in Gaza. This is happens what Israel is more important vs the US.

I agree with you about Gaza but how do you think not voting and allowing Trump to win leads to a better outcome? This is where I get lost….you are going to hurt Palestinians more in the long run if you allow Trump to be elected.

How do you suggest Gen Z communicate their disapproval on Gaza while still voting for Trump?

Sorry— still voting for Biden.

I'll explain. Trump is 100% Netanyahu and pro Israel govt. Putin and Netanyahu require a Trump win to continue. Nothing could be more clear.

Gaza - I swear if this election comes down to Gaza, then we deserve Trump. Who will make things worse, of course.

No. We won’t deserve Trump. But your attitude is repulsive. It’s not motherfing “pandering” to consider that some of us are legitimately appalled at Biden repeatedly putting his fat fing thumb on the scale for Israel despite the casualty disparity.

The PP is right. Economy is good but Trump is likely to win because the Democrats have to deal with people pandering to Gaza after Hamas' terrorism. Even if they don't stay home, many people don't want to associate with people who force students to hide on campus, target random Jewish businesses, etc.

Biden has paid off a lot of student loans.
Gun violence? That's all Republican.
Housing Crisis- hmm, inflation and materials shortage from the pandemic. Not a Biden thing. That is a Trump thing.
Gas? The US President has no authority over gas market prices, you know that, right?
Biden has actually reduced inflation.
Inflation- tax cuts to corporations, who then continued to raise prices - Trump thing again.

- 41 year old whose mother has been entirely supported by me for 7 years, but she’s the best!

He codes. No graduate degree and has switched jobs several times because he wanted to.

He sounds atypical to me. I don't know any younger person who bought that young, they just cannot afford it. I guess it depends on where you are in the country.

Biden has paid off a lot of student loans.
Gun violence? That's all Republican.
Housing Crisis- hmm, inflation and materials shortage from the pandemic. Not a Biden thing. That is a Trump thing.
Gas? The US President has no authority over gas market prices, you know that, right?
Biden has actually reduced inflation.
Inflation- tax cuts to corporations, who then continued to raise prices - Trump thing again.

Biden has forgiven billions in student loans which normally would create a political base, but Gaza.

It's not "but Gaza"- it's " but Netanyahu."
