"with 74% of young Democrats saying they will “definitely” vote,"

Yes! The rest of us need you to do this too. We need your help!

Should be more, but that's still quite the spread.

It would be an improvement on the record 2020 young voter turnout if 60% voted.

No matter how many young people vote, in 4 years Democrats will be like "young people never vote so we aren't going to listen to them."

How is Trump still getting 30% of the under 30 votes. I get the uneducated older folks that are stuck in their ways (or religion) but 23% of young women want to vote for this pos? Really?

Because it's not entirely a purely generational thing, and we need to move away from that train of thinking. There are still plenty of under-30 racist homophobic shitheads who only vote with their guns, who blame all their problems on non-whites, had their heads filled with their parents' views, or otherwise have money and utterly don't care of what comes with it. I worked with over a dozen under-30 yr olds who will gladly slob his knob for any number of reasons. Hell, I was stuck eating breakfast next to a 20-something wearing a camo UA fReEdOm and a hat with the orange turd flipping the middle finger...seated with him was his SO, and what looked like younger siblings and their SO.

It's not purely an age thing, never has been. And we can't sit back and keep banking on Gen-Z being the saviors because 10 years ago everyone was screaming millennials would do the same thing.
