And yet Gen Z turned out for... Trump? He'll surely help the economy and enable a new era of magically plentiful high paying, stable jobs.
Less than half of us voted. As a member of Gen Z who DID vote for Khamala its because the only good thing she does is not be Trump.
A good portion of our generations more liberal/left-leaning side just got done having the shit beaten out of them by cops before getting kicked out of school for protesting against the genocide in Gaza.
What makes you think any of these people want to turn around and vote for a law-and-order ex-DA who's ignoring some of the worst atrocities of our times?
Everyone in this generation who isn't jaded and disillusioned is a fascist or fascist sympathiser (same difference :p). No one has the energy to care let alone vote.
They probably won't until establishment democrats keel over, and unfortunately it looks like medical science kept them alive and puttering until it was too late.

WHICH IS WHY YOU VOTE FOR SOMEONE.
God I hate that Americans have decided that you vote for the person you like rather than vote to stop the worst person.
You're never going to get a pony, so do what you can or they'll make you be a pony. And not in a happy way. In a "work in the mines all your life" way.
Oh well, too late now.
They said to the person who voted blue. Im not telling you don't vote, I'm telling you why most people my age who didn't want Trump didn't vote. I don't know what more you want from me.
Ending the horrors of late stage capitalism isn't asking for a pony its the bare minimum to ensure the continued survival of our species.
And I explained why they were wrong. I'm not sure why you think this is all about you.
I have not heard a single person anywhere claim that's why they didn't vote. Not one. The biggest claim I heard is that neither candidate appealed or excited them. I heard that many times. Nothing about capitalism, just about the laziness of thinking you have to like a candidate to do the bare minimum of voting.
