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 no 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?
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 https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/07/12/voter-turnout-2018-2022/
Ah, in that case that statement makes sense. It is worrying that the youngest do vote the least.
