Because they let old people vote while not going out to vote themselves and prefer to complain on the internet about the results instead of getting involved.
Young people don’t deserve instant blame, but it’s a catch 22 that only young people can break, so even if it’s not their fault, it’s their responsibility.
They don’t vote because they don’t see representation for their issues. They don’t see representation for their issues because they don’t vote.
Right now they complain while not voting in large consistent numbers. If young people simply voted consistently in as high numbers as the elderly, they both would have representation and no reason to complain.
probably… if i had to decide between biden and trump i’d take biden, no question.
But let’s be honest here, both of them shouldn’t be a allowed to even run for presidancy. Both are way too old and one of them is a fucking convicted fellon.
In the US, it’s not cool to pay attention to politics. People under 40 will refuse to vote and then brag about because the system is rigged. They won’t run for any elected office either. In my state, most local races are unopposed Republicans. That’s right, our left wing (lol left wing) party can’t even field candidates in most races because Democrats are so unpopular and no one wants to run.
It’s okay. This is likely the last election for a while. What’s going to be the most frustrating is when the undesirables are killed or reeducated, they’ll act like it was inevitable.

Ohhhh, young people didn’t vote hard enough.
The entire political scene is 70+ but it’s young peoples fault that the country is falling apart.

Barely over 40%
Young people don’t get directly involved enough, the reason the whole political scene is over 70 is because younger alternatives don’t get elected.

I agree, but as long as a minority of people under 30 bother to vote, why would they expect politicians to care about them?
I vote a lot and politicians don’t care about me.
Good, now get the other 60% of people under 30 to vote as well
They care even less than politicians about what I think.
Then get involved directly if you want to see someone with your opinions on the ballots.
that’s so weird to see… look at the eu parliament elections a couple weeks ago.
so many young people voted.
