Good on those kids!

Yes, good on those kids. But it’s beyond bizarre that some of you assume you know who they’re voting for. Why do Democrats always assume everyone else is a Democrat? Will their “voices be heard” - and respected - if they vote for Republicans?

Of course they are also voting for Republicans, but the vast majority of Gen Z supports Dems and progressive policies.

"similar to Millennials, Gen Zers are progressive and pro-government, most see the country’s growing racial and ethnic diversity as a good thing, and they’re less likely than older generations to see the United States as superior to other nations.1"

Only a quarter approved of Trump.

+1. Who knows what the youth vote percentage of the total electorate will be? But if it is high, it is certainly a good thing for the democrats. Especially after Dobbs.

+2 Of course some youth vote Republican. It’s just not a thing like it is among the baby boomers.

I’m a woman with 2 young daughters, and I refuse to vote for a candidate who wants to restrict my rights. Where I live, that means I vote straight democratic ticket now. I can’t trust a Republican candidate to protect my basic right over my own body.
I’ve never been a single issue voter, and I frequently have voted mixed ticket before, but I am alive today thanks to an abortion of an ectopic pregnancy, and I have friends and family members who have needed abortions due to rape or medical emergencies.

Sad that you agree you should not be trusted to make decisions about your own body.

The GOP wishes you and your blue vote had died already.

Think how many more women won’t be around to vote in two years if the GOP get their way across the country like they want.

I live in a small town in Maine so my experience is certainly not representative of much, but I voted at the local high school today and it's the very first time I've ever seen lines. Actual lines and for a midterm election (governor is on the ballot). High school girls lead a community rally for women's rights over the weekend that was pretty well-attended. I feel hopeful.
