This Gen Xer turns bluer every year. Not everyone gets conservative as they get older.

Go Gen Z!

What kind of blue? True liberal blue or woke and insane blue? There's a huge difference.

Most of us will be voting for President for first time in November 2024. In 2022, we all showed up and saved you all and Dems kept the Senate, and only lose a few seats in the house, but now we want action. WE want REAL GUN CONTROL. We don't our kids to have go to though the same lockdowns and fears of a school shooting we had too.

We want college loan reforms.
We want living wage and want to buy a house one day.
We know it won't be done with soon, but we want it to be a work in process, meet us halfway please.

Go for it!
We've been let down before by well-meaning young people who don't make it to the polls, so please please please vote and get your generation to vote!!

Well, the NY Times is talking about the 2024 election and this was included in the discussion:

Along similar lines, Martin Wattenberg, a political scientist at the University of California, Irvine, argued by email that generational change will be a key factor in the elections.

From 2020 to 2024, “about 13 million adult citizens will have died,” and “these lost voters favored Trump in 2020 by a substantial margin. My rough estimate is that removing these voters from the electorate will increase Biden’s national popular vote margin by about 1.2 million votes.”

He estimated that 15 million young people will become eligible to vote from 2020 to 2024.

Oh, ffs

I consider myself woke because as I have gotten older, I learn more and more about the world and history that was whitewashed.

But you do you?

We get it; you want socialism. Hard pass.

And this is why Republicans are having a really difficult time making inroads with Millennials and Gen Z. Higher ed reform, minimum wage increases, and housing reform are now "socialism" to braindead GOPers.

The thing is. We've had close to 40 years of unfettered free market capitalism and it's been a pretty raw deal for a lot of Americans, especially the next generation. You have massive inequality, housing/healthcare/education unaffordability, lack of opportunity without advanced education, gun violence, and climate change. I mean, if unfettered free market capitalism is so good, then why does it feel so crappy for them? Socialism (you know, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, just about everything in the GI Bills and the military gets, plus universal healthcare and affordable education) starts to look pretty good. And taxing the Elon Musks of the world looks even better to do it.

Except the Boomers were still riding the tailwind of 60 years of progressive developments as well as 30 years of New Deal legislation. Much of that has been rolled back over the last 40+ years.

No one over the age of 30 should be allowed to vote.

Those rightward shifts among Millennials are tiny. The question is whether those rightward shifts will overwhelm the effects of Gen Zers reaching voting age. I strongly, strongly doubt that.

Yes, they will, because there are a lot more of them.

I cannot imagine what kind of country we would have if that were the case.
Venezuela, here we come!
