For who? Democrats just idly sit around and get even older while republicans rape every single institution without consequences. They commited a fucking insurrection and nothing happened.
Democrats had a majority for years and yet the american society and politics continue to be more fucked up.
American democracy is just an illusion of freedom they allow you to have. Their two party system is the best proof for that. They will never allow you to change anything because the for profit government is working as they intended.
They commited a fucking insurrection and nothing happened.
Thousands of people were put in jail. Nothing was done about Trump because Republicans blocked that and Democrats couldn't do anything on their own. Currently nothing is being done thanks to the help of judges Trump appointed.
There's a huge difference in these parties. But it seems you just repeat propaganda by implying both parties are the same.
Vote for the best option you have. Maybe you don't feel like the current options are great; but just suppose you keep voting for the best of your options, and that best option keeps winning. The idea is that later someone will think "maybe I can win by being even better...". That's the theory of democracy anyway. If the best candidate keeps winning, then the competition improves to challenge them. But right now that doesn't seem to be happening.
As long as someone like Trump can get even vaguely close to victory, that either means that a near-majority of Americans believe Trump is the better option, or that not enough people are voting. I think it's probably the second one. The republican strategy has nothing to do with fielding the best candidate. Instead they rely on feeding voter apathy, anger, and doubt. They want anyone who isn't a zealot to be uncertain about voting. That's how they win. We're not going to see the best candidates while that strategy is in play. And to beat the 'don't vote' strategy... well, you just have to vote.
Why would they change a damn thing if young adults never vote?
