None of this is to claim that younger voters in general are not more to the left on most issues than their older counterparts. They are. But there is a difference between being more progressive than other voters — and progressive as a blanket characterization. As this data clearly shows, that characterization is not accurate and might explain how these voters could become politically untethered from their relative liberalism as they are pressed by economic trends and the swirl of current events.
Will young voters’ liberal but nuanced views on issues lead them to stick with the Democrats, as they have during the past few cycles? Or will they start to break from the party this year and embrace alternatives?
“everyone i know is indifferent I guess…”
Those stuck in “reality” are truly left to deal with the fact that indifference has more votes. Cause every election come, folks are just too happy to accept the status quo, or accept facism with a sentiment like “they probably will…”
Your quotes are from… where?
If it helps… just substitute the quote “All the gen-z I know” with “anecdotally you can ignore this.”
I’d rather we all just use exact quotes and not pretend we know what people say because we think we disagree.
