In a matchup between Biden and Trump, many young voters say they might choose silence.

    The issue is that Gen Z has clocked onto “to what end?” The GOP is going to run a fascist in every presidential election for at least the next decade, maybe until the party collapses. This is the second election in a row where Gen Z has had to “suck it up because democracy is at stake.” They’re not idiots, they have a strong suspicion that they’ll be told to suck it up again in the election after. Is it any surprise that they’re not interested in a system that has told them to shut up and do as they’re told?

      Its especially rough to ask Gen Z to vote for the guy who amped up our oil production to record levels. We cant afford to wait 4 more years on climate and Biden doesn’t give enough of a shit about the climate. He was utterly inadequate to the moment 4 years ago, and he hasn’t gotten better. I’ll still vote for him but centrists you’ve fucked us, thanks.

      Yes it is because there is an alternative… And that alternative isn’t a good one.
