the issue I have with this mindset is that it is becoming popular, ya know? if every young adult started going “my vote doesn’t matter” or “i’m not voting bc the republicans suck and the democrats suck too” then we will basically never make any real progress. more young adults like us don’t want to deal with the “lesser of two evils” even though that is LITERALLY voting lmfao
if those young adults who wanted progress were ONLY given democrat and republican and HAD to choose, they’d likely vote democrat which is **streotypically** more progressive/forward thinking aka more modern progress remove them entirely from voting because “it doesn’t matter” or “both suck” then republicans basically will always win
The real fumble was that the dems were pro-war/pro-Israel and alienated the anti-war/Arab/Muslim/pro-Palestine voting blocs, which turned out to be much larger than they expected i think. Turns out foreign policy matters to a lot of people, and when both parties choose the same foreign policy, all those people wont vote for either party!
good points all around lol voting matters a lot because he won by decently small margins in some states, but good god will it be hard to really encourage and convince people it is important just hope dems learn because republicans will probably throw their money at Vance and honestly he’s scarier to me than Trump.
