18-29 year olds had record breaking turnout in 2020, and Biden literally wouldn't have won without them. They're what carried those razor thin 5 states.

Over 44 and trump is dominant.

40% of voters are Gen Z or Millenials this election.

The future of the party is the youth, but so is the present.

The DNC needs to stop telling them to shut up and vote for who we tell them, and start "compromising" with them and get more change faster than the moderates want.

Bill and Obama both knew the value of going after the youth vote. They were also two of the youngest US Presidents in history.

Candidates in the Dem party like Hillary and Biden are the exception, and they're just not popular with voters...

To even further complicate things for the establishment dems, Bernie outperformed any other candidates with voters under 40 frequently. It's not the age of the candidate but the content of their platform.

And just to spite Democrats, Gen Z will let the country burn. The selfishness, lack of foresight, and inability of Gen Z to see reality will doom us all.
