          That is paywalled and also does not address this video. Who in this video said they were voting for Republicans, or not voting?

            Sorry for the paywall. The vast majority of voters are 65 and over. The lowest being 18. Check out the midterm numbers. Gen Z is simply not voting. Just complaining. Even my age group which is Gen X isn’t doing that great either.

              Answer my question or just ignore me. Because right now, it seems like all you’re doing is being a cynical asshole bringing up irrelevant shit on a post that shows to relation to what you’re saying.

              Your job is to prove that the people in this video vote Republican or don’t vote. That’s what I asked.

              Also, should it be surprising that the youngest voters are 18, when 18 is the voting age?

                  Ah, in that case that statement makes sense. It is worrying that the youngest do vote the least.

                The point is they don’t vote. Not that they vote republican because they typically don’t vote republican. The 65 over votes in higher numbers and more than often vote republican.

                I don’t owe you anything. I don’t have a job to do. I don’t care what you ask for. You don’t matter to me.

                I’m was simply making a correlation between people who are complaining on TikTok and people who are voting and nothing more.

      The youth will not care about politics. No matter how much we push they just don’t take time to vote. The ones who do vote Republican because mommy and daddy make them vote and they vote for ever their parents tell them to.

    At least they have all the freedom they want /s

    And trust me it’s not only the USA. I few months ago I had to live off cheap instant ramen and Vitamin pills for more than a month because I couldt pay my bills otherwise. I live in europe with a relatively decent salary. It’s ridiculous. Big companies do record profits while we suffer.

    The next bubble that has to burst is the antisocial capitalist one we are in now. So few people benefit from so much and this country has been there before. It helped cause a great depression that spanned decades and most Americans had no hand in causing. Everyone needs to vote more social progressive candidates in that will enforce higher taxes on the rich and corporations just to undo the damage they have caused. Greed destroys nations and billionaires should not exist.
