General Discussion

We had so many democratic voters in 2024 who simply stayed home and chose not to vote.

Many young voters I think feel a little hopeless when it comes to the choices they are presented with. They feel like no one is listening. They don't want to vote republican because that's obviously awful. But they don't really feel like democrats are listening or that voting that way will result in the change they want to see either. Gaza. The fact that they can't afford to move out of their parents' basements. They want to buy houses and have good jobs and be able to afford to have kids if that's what they want. None of that is a reality for them.

And it's easy to get screechy and say IT'S ALL THE FAULT OF THE REPUBLICANS, which yes, it is. But when voting democrat means none of what I just listed above is going to get fixed in the 4 years a democrat is in office... you can see why they are starting to lose hope. So we have to find a way to fix stuff. In my opinion, until we are willing to absolutely fight DIRTY, we are not going to start winning. Why do republicans obstruct and shut things down every chance they get when we are in power, but now that they are in power, we are sitting there doing nothing? Why are we not obstructing and delaying and doing everything we can to stop them?

I do not blame young people for feeling like democrats are directionless. If we keep this up, and follow it with, you must vote for whatever "safe white straight christian male" the DNC anoints in 2028, expect more of them to stay home then too.
