Yeah, they are sooooo pissed off that they couldn’t be bothered to show up at the polls in the last election.

6 years ago Bernie Sanders, one of the most left-leaning candidates in our modern history, ran on a platform that depended on the youth vote. He was utterly destroyed in the primaries because the youth vote never materialized. And this type of thing has happened time and time again.

In the last election, it should have been especially important for the youth what with an endless stream of school shootings, anger toward inaction on climate change and the whole student loan debacle. These are all massively important topics for the youth - or at least they should be - and they couldn’t be bothered to go out and vote in full force. Something like 75% of the youth of this country sat this election out. 75%. That’s pathetic.

But now all of a sudden they are going to act pissed off?

A huge problem is lack of accessibility and education regarding the process. It’s even worse in primaries and although democrats benefit from greater voter participation in the general, they wouldn’t during primaries as they have no interest in helping candidates like Bernie by improving that aspect.
