Congrats on falling for the propaganda.
What a good slave, you attack those other bad slaves!
Comment on Gen Z and young millennials battling ‘negative wealth’ as debt burden grows

Yea I can’t say I’m surprised but at the same time they skewed more right wing from this last election, so the economic policies being implemented by Trump, and the ramifications it’ll have on their socio-economic status, is something they voted for. Kind of hard to feel bad for a generation that’s shootings themselves in the foot.

I agree with the sentiment, but we need to educate and unite. Not sow further division amongst ourselves.

This is the rhetoric used to try to guilt leftist into voting for Neoliberals.
How about this time you just follow the leftists instead of having control?

I mean absolutely no offence in this response, but if I might articulate myself further. The enemy of progress and the cause of this most egregious regression in The United States is division. Holding idealised standards of how political parties should be in the current political climate, is disingenuous virtue signalling and disregards how politics work(s)ed in America with AIPAC, corporate lobbying and a two party system of First Past The Post elections. I am not telling you you’re wrong, quite the opposite. I agree with you. I am instead asking you to contextualise your (valid) outrage into the broader scope of American politics. If we do not defeat the orange menace, there will never be any progressives holding office, ever. You are right to want further change, but right now our division only serves the ruling class. The fact is, at this moment in history, you cannot get elected to any federal office of the United States without the support AIPAC. It is wrong, it is unjust, it serves the purpose of warmongers, I understand. As does the act of poor Americans purchasing cheap clothes imported from China. Yet, there is no choice for the poor who rely on them to clothe themselves and their children. I see you comment a lot and I am glad to see that, because you obviously care. I recognise your frustrations with Centrist Democrats. Of course they’re impotent, they themselves are multimillionaires, just trying to hold on to their investments and not have their families disappeared. Spineless. Democrats are always targeted for their failings, both by republicans and from within the party and support is often split because of it. While republicans disregard all criticism and stay united through their hatred and obfuscation of the truth. They live with this absurd cognitive dissonance and they still won, because they are united. You can be right about everything, without also serving the purposes of our enemy. If they prevail, when they finally crush every last one of us. It will be because there was no united opposition. It does not matter how correct you are today my friend, being right won’t matter. “I told you so” means nothing in Hell.

The margins dipped, but they didn’t flip to voting for Trump overall
18-29 year-olds voted Harris+4 overall and Young women in particular voted Harris+18
Headlines are often misleading about changes within group voting patterns

I doubt anyone in the study voted in the US elections.

No! Trump bad!

Even if any did, they would be part of voters abroad (US citizens can vote by mail if living outside the country) who are an even bluer voting block. If memory serves me right, it’s on the order of like D+60 overall
