logikv9 posted:i agree with you and i would like to rephrase the word lazy with laziness regarding voting. sorry 4 the confusion well, the less stable your life is, the less likely you are to vote. lets not forget there are a lot of voter suppression tactics used against young people specifically, not just minorities. for example, republicans love to try to make students vote from their home county instead of the one they reside in. then they love to purge them from voter rolls in their home counties cause "they don't live there". etc. etc. this undoubtedly happens in democratic states too cause dems don't want to swing too far left

But Clinton received notably less support from young voters (18-29) than Barack Obama did in 2008 and 2012, particularly in the crucial battleground states she lost to Donald Trump.

"Millennials don't vote" is technically true but also kind of meaningless by itself given that "young people don't vote" has been consistently true since the 1970s.

Gyra_Solune posted:the worst possibility of Trump and possibly his entire administration going down Nixon-style is that Hillary Clinton, sensing weakness in the party, figures she could win, this time, in 2020, after all the guy in charge wasn't even elected by the people!!! We need to print up and frame all the posts that make 2020 predictions this detailed. Just a single frame for this first one, and the rest can be taped end-to-end so that they could be folded up into a stack and carried from place to place on top of it like 1980s printing paper. As 2020 goes by, we can write circles and X's on all of the posts in red ink. Then on November 5, 2020 we'll anoint whoever makes the highest score as the prophet for 2024.

It was either take a sick day--which nobody could afford really--or work another day as our woke-rear end Hillary supporter department head smugged all day as she won the primary despite 3/4ths of the rank and file supporting Sanders if not Johnson. The day after the election he gathered all the middle management together and had a name-and-shame of black employees who stayed at work all day because that's when they had to work according to the schedule. These have been two anecdotes about voting in Texas as a working class person.

quote:About 55 percent of those millennial voters supported Clinton, as compared to the 60 percent who supported Obama in 2012, according to CIRCLE’s analysis. Conversely, youth support from Republicans remained relatively constant: Trump got about 37 percent of the youth vote, roughly equivalent to what Mitt Romney received in 2012. Almost 10% of millennials voted third-party? Is that awesome or terrifying

wizard on a water slide posted:Almost 10% of millennials voted third-party? also keep in mind that the electoral college by its very nature disenfranchises people in many states so you might as well vote whatever there. drawing a conclusion based on national polling when most people dont live in narrow states is disingenuous. such faulty conclusions are hand-wringing over people voting third party, hand-wringing over how many people don't vote, or hand-wringing about how your candidate lost despite winning the popular vote. the last one is particularly stupid because there is no popular vote. a lot of people don't show up or vote third party because they know their vote matters extremely little.

Maybe millennials don't vote because they are the working poor? And the working poor has the hardest time making it to the polls? It's like when rising healthcare costs are blamed on the young, healthy, succulent millennials not buying insurance. They aren't exactly raking in the dough and suffered most from sky-high tuition so why offset healthcare costs by using the poorest of the working class?
