Democratic voters are unreliable. They could probably get everything they wanted if once a year they took an hour or two out of their day to go vote. Instead they’ve let Republicans take over in a large number of counties and we have to deal with all these fucking jackasses in Congress blocking anything from happening. Democrats and youth voters would rather bitch and whine about Republicans than actually just vote when it matters.

There are a lot more reasons for why young people don't vote as much than just them being lazy. For example, young people move a lot more often than old people, so they have to update their voter registration. And if they don't do that those two hours of their life they have to take off are meaningless.

Also, I highly doubt I'd get everything I wanted even if Democrats ran the entire country from bottom to top, because what I want isn't terribly popular even among Democrats.

4 years ago the dems ran on not caging children at the border, now Kamala is running on how she's going to sign a republican border bill and "secure our border".

Is it really that hard to imagine why some voters might feel apathetic about voting for democrats?

People are fucking stupid.

They think just because one side uses words that are prettier to them they arent driving the train to the same fuckinh station.

Vote democrate - its the only way is a LIE they tell themselves to avoid having to actually take responsibility.
