Just a couple of statistics to make your day.

By 2024 Gen Z and Millennials will make up about 50% of all voters. They will equal all older voters in numbers. By 2028 they will dwarf the older generations. They are passionate, they vote and the can’t be Gerrymandered.

@mikefarb But people (not me, mind you) tend to vote more conservative as they get older. That's the rub.

Its mostly untrue that people get more conservative as they get older. What happens is that people in marginalized groups die younger, so the voter pool gets more white through attrition.

If you adjust for race, the younger generations are not any more liberal than the older generations. They are just less and less white.

@Spicewalla @mikefarb Sounds logical, definitely interesting. I've been white middle class most of my life and I'm pretty liberal. My parents are/were too.
