US Politics on Sidechat | I hate that there’s like twice the population of eligible voters between 18-40 compared to over 65, yet over 65 outvotes that same demographic like 3-4:1. Like is our generation really only 1/6th as likely to vote? :(

I’ve heard from so many other students that “my vote doesn’t count because I’m from X State” and it makes me wanna shake some sense into them

If 18-40 actually voted, we would rule the country. But, they don’t care enough to show up

I can kinda get it in specific cases, like my house district got gerrymandered into being R+27 even tho our closest neighboring towns are in an actual competitive district, but at the same time if we all voted it might actually make the district competitive

Gerrymandering doesn’t affect senate or presidential.
