One pollster sees “flashing red” signs on youth turnout as Gen Z and millennial voters, who are not satisfied with either party, could again play a decisive role in the next election.
I support this. While the GOP base continues to shrink and die off, the Dems are doing no favors but continuing to make a vast swath of voters feel unrepresented. I was 18 when Obama came around in his first run and I felt represented then. I don’t think I’ve felt represented personally since then.
This is not an endorsement of the GOP. Just an echoing of the general feeling of invisibility.
I voted for him twice, but I have come to believe Obama did far more damage than good. And, his shameless narcissism and unwillingness to do anything of consequence, except kneecap the left, in his post-presidency have really turned me off.
I don’t know why any millennial would have any faith in the Democratic Party to substantively improve their futures, after having been bamboozled by Obama.
Because we don’t have any other choice in a first past the post system
I mean, I still don’t have any faith in the current Democratic party as a whole, but I think our best hope is primarying as much corruption out as we can and just using the party as a vehicle for decent leaders
The party leadership is corrupt. It regularly works against the interests of its voters in favor of its donors and its prerogatives. It is almost impossible to primary against the DNC’s backroom choices.
The party is a vehicle for donors and the entrenched class of managers and consultants who rely on it to ensure their own continued paychecks and influence.
