That's what you get for voting for a death cult, Zoomers.

A higher percentage of voters aged 18-29 supported Harris than any other age group, but I guess don't let the facts get in the way of yelling at those damn kids like every other generation has done since forever
Yeah Im Gen X and we voted this guy in twice because we all grew up with leaded fuels and paint.
no, the boomers grew up with that
Gen X did as well
“The United States and many other countries began phasing out the use of TEL in automotive fuel in the 1970s”.
“ in 1971, Congress banned the use of lead-based paint in residential projects (including residential structures and environments) constructed by, or with the assistance of, the federal government. The Consumer Product Safety Commission followed with implementing regulations, effective in 1978.”.
“gen x generally defined as people born from 1965 to 1980”.
so, yeah kinda right… but even before the ban people were a lot more cautious about child lead exposure… i’m right at the cusp of between x and millennial so i often forget how far back gen x goes.
and there’s this weird thing where younger generations are conflating gen x with boomers but, they hate boomers more than anyone else.
More of that 18-24 demographic voted for Trump than before.
That is also true and a real problem, but it would be more accurate to say that more of that 18-29 demographic who turned out to vote voted for Trump than before
We estimate that 42% of young voters (+/- 1%), ages 18-29, cast ballots in the 2024 presidential election, a lower youth turnout than in 2020—when our early estimate put youth turnout above 50%—and approximately on par with the 2016 presidential election.
We also estimate that youth voter turnout in battleground states may have been much higher: 50% on aggregate in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Young voters cast 14% of all ballots in the 2024 election, according to the National Election Pool exit poll conducted by Edison Research. While this number may be adjusted in the coming days, and other data sources may show different numbers, this 2024 youth share of the vote was also lower than in 2020 (17%) and 2016 (19%) based on the same data source.
I would be interested to see how that 50% number for those battleground states compares to the percentage of 18-29 voters who turned out in those same states in 2020 and 2016, but I think the general story here isn't that zoomers are actually getting more conservative but that the Democratic party did a terrible job getting their young voters to turn out
Well yeah and the anti-Biden/Harris rhetoric around Palestine was mainly circulating on TikTok among GenZ voters. It was a very strong anti-turnout message being pushed to the likely Democrat GenZ voters.
Im in a swing state and none of my friends voted for him, we all were for harris.
I know it's purely anecdotal, but I also only know of Gen z voters that went for Harris. I life in California thought so that might have something to do with my data set lol
The problem is the gigantic gender gap, far bigger than any other cohort (something like a 30 or 40 point spread between gen z men and women's voting). Many young men have a terminal case of Elon Musk and/or Andrew Tate brain.
No, they have an incurable case of Elon Musk and/or Andrew Tate brain. If it was terminal, we might have been able to avoid this timeline.
Was gonna say, in my experience gen z is largely left-leaning
