Biden confronts a 'pissed-off generation' of young voters who may be decisive in 2024 - LemmyWorld

I’m sorry, cause us to “stay home”? Trust me, NBC. We are not “staying home”. We’re fucking voting the shit out of this cesspool
You wish. Young people are far less likely to vote than older people. Sadly NBC is likely right.
Maybe young people who are white, male, conservative, and still have a modicum of their basic human rights, let alone control over their own fucking bodies. If you’re unfortunate enough to have a uterus, I’ll be downright shocked if you choose not to vote.
Then you’re gonna be shocked, sorry to say.
Do you say that because you aren’t going to vote and have a uterus? In all honesty, why would you not vote?
Instead of downvoting me to oblivion why don’t YOU LOT tell me why you wouldn’t vote? Y’all downvoters have female reproductive organs that you no longer have control over?
I imagine just about everyone reading this is going to vote. People are downvoting you because you seem to be assuming that people with a vested interest will reliably vote for that interest, which historically just isn’t true. The reason is usually a sense of futility in voting, that “my vote wont make a difference so why bother?” That obviously adds up on such a large scale, but people still think that way.

I mention that interest specifically because its fucking mind blowing to me that I have to mention it at all. There’s PLENTY more to be irate about and vote for.

I used to feel like voting was futile, especially in 2016. I voted and it amounted to nothing. BUT I still voted in 2020. I’m in an echo chamber of my own ‘ideals’ (human rights?) where I see and consume information about youngins voting in droves this upcoming election, and blasting the midterms. Perhaps propaganda?
