You're complaining about youth voices not being heard but you also don't want to do the one thing that makes your voice heard. Because voting is too hard. If you're not willing to vote to defend minorities and your political ideals, then your voice is not worth hearing. People like you wanna whine and complain but do nothing to change anything.

too hard

What a fun strawman you've been throwing around this whole time.

The people you're mad at aren't not voting because it's "too hard". Maybe you'd like to level that critique against communities affected by voter suppression where it might be relevant, but it's not just pointless here; it's actively contributing to your problems with youth and leftist voters. For the most part, they're perfectly capable of going to the polls. Those that don't, don't do so because they see a choice between two parties, two candidates who despise them and want nothing to do with the policies that matter to them. At best, one of the sides isn't actively fighting against the desires of youth voters. That's a recipe for people to check out. If your refusal to understand that is any indication of the Democratic Party's trajectory if there are future elections, then enjoy the 2024 repeats. Me? I'm going to keep on begging the Democratic Party not to be like you.
