You seem to be missing my point. I don’t care about you enough to argue with you. You aren’t going to get young people on your side by telling them that they’re the problem. Do you not want to improve these stats you keep bringing up? Apparently not, but if you did actually care about that, you’d have more empathy and understanding rather than just saying that young people aren’t going to vote.
Then you ignorantly don’t have empathy for those that have been systematically disenfranchised by strict GOP-led voter laws, gerrymandering, and oppression. You could get angry about people voting for the GOP. You could get angry about idiots parting ways with their money to donate to super pacs. You could get angry about so many other things, but here you are, getting angry because someone online told you to have some empathy for another age group that was disenfranchised.
Huh, you sure sounded angry when you double commented and said I insulted you.
I think that might be part of the problem, you can’t see the barriers that young people and POC in red states encounter. But just because YOU haven’t experienced grappling with disenfranchisement, doesn’t mean it isn’t there for others. You don’t seem to understand that many young people can’t vote because of that.
Once again, before you try to move the goal posts once more, the point is that telling disenfranchised people who are not able will not get them on your side and motivate them to get past the cards they have been given. You are being counterproductive to your desire of wanting people to vote when you do that.
Statistics are trending in the other direction. Why not talk about that instead of demoralizing the young voter base any further?
Here,
Edit:
Here are the percentages of 18-34 year olds who voted by year over the past 20 years:
Why not just supply information on the contrary, instead of carrying on with insults?
Because you like to fight more than you like to defend the young voters.
Can you point me to the insult, please?

… I’m not angry at all? No vote, no voice. Sad you aren’t being heard? VOTE! Frankly, I can’t think of a single reason not to vote.

I’m definitely in a minority that is being attacked by the right wing, and because of that I understand why voting is important.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO VOTE!
we should stop here. Blocked.
