    Well this is one reason why young voters aren’t taken seriously. They don’t vote or basically waste their vote so no reason to pander or even campaign for their votes.

    And then they wonder why they’re not a focus hah.

      Voting in a rigged system like this where both parties are just slightly different levels of unacceptably terrible is meaningless anyway. Organizing outside it is the only way there’ll be change.

        You could do both. You’d hopefully get the less shitty guy to win while hoping that the outside organizing works out.

          Has that been working out at all? The “less shitty guy” is a zionist that’s supporting a genocide right now.

            Has the organizing been working out at all? Yeah. That’s why you’d do both in the slim chance it works.

            And do you think the other guy is any better? Less shit option doesn’t mean a good one. Just less shit.

              People haven’t been doing that at all. Just voting for dems and simping for them as if it’ll change anything - like it’s a football game.
