This is very much a millennial perspective. Looking at a demographic table, it’s overwhelmingly obvious that most Americans are boomers. And older people vote more often than younger people.
We may see Trump and Biden as weak candidates, but this is literally what they want. It is democracy in action. We just don’t outnumber the older Americans lol. It’s obviously changing. Otherwise Sanders wouldn’t have made it as far as he did in 2016 and 2020.
I’m not American, but whenever I talk to my young friends out there they tell me about impossible they’ve made it to go vote. Not being near a bus route, their employers cutting their hours for going out, just a huge hassle for them in general.

Not true. Boomers are on the decline now and it’s a steep cliff from here out.

Definitely correct about them voting more than other groups, cannot argue with that at all. Young people need to get off their ass and actually vote.

I was born in the early 60’s so nowhere close to a millenial.
