  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.

      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.

        So, you haven’t got a single fucking clue how they voted. Thought so.

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

      Pretty sure they said lowest and meant lowest turnout by age range, which historically has been the case. Here’s some data from recent elections showing this www.pewresearch.org/…/voter-turnout-2018-2022/

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