Example 2
Oh, is Gen Z still saving us?
Yes. Yes they are.
Another example.
And yet another.
Holy shit! Did GenZ and young millennials bail us the fuck out??
Yes. Yes they did.
End of post. Hug a dem Gen Z-er who voted. Right now.
Rogerwilco1974
You voted right, now? ?
DJOldguy
They got to keep voting! Parties will change policies to suit what the Gen Zs want! What I want too! Healthcare/Climate/Abortion legislation
SonicTheBedhog
I’m proud of these kids.
ApexConyers
I hope to good my people turn out for this runoff in Ga. Walker getting elected would be horrifying.
zombywoof68
Meanwhile, Republicans say ...
pintgudge1975
I’m 66. Voted early and straight blue. Thanks for the new voters coming out and doing the thing!

What he said!

"The kids are alright."
ThrockmortonTheSkateboarder
I'm so thankful they're not alt right.
SubtleOrc
Please keep the youthful sense of what is right and what is proper as you age .. conservatism is by and large a cancer of the elderly
GermanSausagesAreTheWurst
Ordinary conservatism, maybe. But any age is vulnerable to Far Right extremist propaganda. It isn't boomers shooting up schools.
ButteryBiscuitBass
They did us proud.
TheFastpaws
Way to go gen Z! Welcome to the fight against fascism!
peppercruncher
Not gonna lie, if Erica would tell me to vote for the "Leopards eating your face"-party, I would go for it...
bripi
She's a cutie! But at least she's on the correct side. That makes her twice as attractive!
mrssugar
As a cynical, tired elder millennial, Gen Z is giving me hope for the first time in a long time.
GuitaristDom
US Gen Zers give me hope. Unfortunately here in the UK, politicians of both main parties are still pandering to fucking home owner boomers.
GermanSausagesAreTheWurst
The Far Right extremists using every means to radicalize GenZ. Voting isn't enough. We must Inoculate the youth against harmful ideas.
casbott
I've voted in every local, State and Federal Election since I turned 18 … of course I am Australian.
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
Isn't voting compulsory there? and aren't you automatically registered? does Aus offer citizenship thru marriage and are you single?
WorstPostEver
OdeToBouncer
Just means I survived a ridiculous amount of bullshit is all. Good luck to you!
SecondSince
You're not wrong...
dfhowes
I was born in 1956. Vote these old white men out! I'm as sick of them as you are.
TheSonAndHeirOfNothingInParticular
My older daughter is only 17, so no voting in 2022, but she is EXCITED to vote Dem in the 2024 POTUS election. They will change the world!
fattymcfattzz
As a gen x thank you for the big assist

localsurfer
It will self-sustain too. As an older, left leaning voter, it's been a demoralising lifetime of never getting anywhere. Some give up.
bripi
Right there with ya. It has been frustration after frustration, year after year. Obama's years were the halcyon days, but far too long ago.
CatEyebrows
GenX here. THANK YOU GEN Z!!! I’ve been holding the line for years, becoming discouraged. You have given me new hope
SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem
Older millenial here and I feel the same. It's been hard not to lose hope and become jaded.
FloatingOnACloudOfTitties
Yep! I’m GenX & have wanted all this & have been fighting for it for 30 years! Glad to see things finally shifting our way, yay!
OdeToBouncer
Same. Just pray they are smarter than us is all.
stonecoldpuma
If Millennials and Gen Z started working together, things might get changed. Enough with trying to divide the 2 generations. Time to unite.
HelikaformerNubisKnight9
I'm Gen X and in to join! Don't leave us out! ?
svennisiggi
Hear hear!
Djones06236
I'm all in on progressive ideas. Also nearly 40, so I'm a Millennial.
sureasyourebornyourenevergoingtoseenounicorn
So maybe, just maybe, the left will finally move further left. I never understood the right’s obsession to let COVID run its course, but it
Margrave9000
Absolutely. We need REAL progress and we need it NOW. Enough of the milquetoast shit. Start nationalizing sectors, culling the rich etc.
sureasyourebornyourenevergoingtoseenounicorn
Cost them millions over voters. Seems a bit short sighted to me.
Rikoshi
It was an issue the Left actually gave a shit about, so the Right needed to be against it. American Conservatism can only react, not think.
Margrave9000
Almost explains why the conservatives are called REACTIONARIES in scientific terms.
tavinjer
100% this.
Arenlor
Hi "Gen Z", millennial here. Want to bitch about the Boomers over some avocado toast? /s
kevbot5000
I have never had avocado toast. I like avocado and I like toast, is the combo greater than the sum of its parts?
Arenlor
No clue, never had it myself. I don't know anyone that has.
LostBeaver
Cause I’m dumb, can someone explain the numbers in #7 for me?
DicksmackMcgee
Percentage points relative to the other party?
bripi
It's an incredibly poorly done statistical analysis so it's not you. It's shitty presentation.
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
GOP won votes by people age 65+ by 13% and age 45-64 by 11%. Dems won age 30-44 by 2% and 18-29 by 28%
chucklemore
I'm a (Canadian) grandfather and all I can say to these young voters is f'kn eh!
NotaCPA
These young folks are not living in their parents' alternative reality...Fuckin eh, indeed. (Canadian)
geetarhumor
FUCKEN EH’!!!

kittenpettingfool
Fuckin' Eh my friend!
YaaDude
No doot aboot it! (I’m also Canadian)
TheDisembodiedFloatingHeadOfEdwardGRobinson
The 18-29 turnout was ~27%. I'm sorry, but that is fucking pathetic. Gen Z has the right values, yes, but they need to actually show up.
bripi
Yep. Kudos for those who did, but since the VAST MAJORITY DIDN'T, we know it could have gone better. MUCH better. GA might not be a run-off.
Djones06236
That's literally the highest turnout for that age group in 30 years. It's still a good thing. Want them to show up again? Don't shame them.
TheDisembodiedFloatingHeadOfEdwardGRobinson
It's the second highest, down from 2018. And I'm not shaming them, I'm trying to be realistic. Gen Z needs to know they have work to do.
TheDisembodiedFloatingHeadOfEdwardGRobinson
It's dangerous to push only the narrative that Gen Z came out strong, and that nothing needs to change. Its a good start, but we need more.
TheDisembodiedFloatingHeadOfEdwardGRobinson
18-29 turnout in developed countries is two to three times higher. This is a major problem and needs to be discussed so it can be fixed.
Rainbowdaesh
#2 As a millennial, keep pushing for universal healthcare. Again and again. I’m with you.
DaveSamsonite
I’m glad to see Gen Z voting as they did, but turnout for voters aged 19-29 was only 27%. We could have taken both houses if everyone voted!
Youhavinagiraffe
I hope Gen Z can consistently vote this hard in primaries too. Clearing out the old status quo warrior Democrats is important too
iateabagel
As a millennial, it's wonderful to have another generation with us. Generally speaking of course.
palmmute
Fuck Joe Lieberman always and forever
Krakencrotch
Universal income*, FIFY
mcsammymc
Gen X here. Keep voting and pushing for Universal Healthcare!!!
TeamSpicyTacos
If you keep voting consistently one platform, you will get what you want. Don't get fooled like we did. Genx is with you! To the polls!
Heisanevilgenius
Here's the hilarious thing about pushing the voting age to 21. That's 3 years. Only one election. So you're pissing off an entire gen 1/
Heisanevilgenius
That's going to just come after you with a vengeance in the very next election.
ProphetofEntropy
FYI genZ, the people who shit on you for being who you are, they vote republican.
DeltaLaw
As a millennial, they put us through school shootings too and we frankly should have been showing up sooner
unluckyandbored
Healthcare. Education. Gun control. Gen Z can finally turn America into a civilized country.
BrutalAnalSeepage
And Ranked Voting!!
Twrecks123
Right?
Silkyninja1
As a gen x'er, I'm with you. We can do this
FloatingOnACloudOfTitties
Yep! I’m a Gen Xer who wanted women, worker & lgbtq+ rights along with universal healthcare 30 years ago! I’ve been fighting for decades!
SonicTheBedhog
Gen X here. You have my vote and I will defend you to anyone who tries to talk shit about Millennials & younger. It’s f’d up.

iamthecomet
Yeah I'm really confused about this, isn't most of the country on board with this?
Keeperofthe7keys
Yes but dems act like it's a fringe far-left opinion that'll lose them elections even though a majority of REPUBLICANS agree.
DaveSamsonite
The dum redhats do what they are told.
unluckyandbored
Yes, but thanks to the GOP cheating, they still hold power.
Kemi337
Remember, there are people in America that think the Affordable Care Act is fine, but Obamacare is horrible and needs to be repealed.
DaveSamsonite
The power of labels that 15 years later they don’t recognize how much it’s done to control health care costs and how many more are insured.
Kemi337
Right wing propaganda controls much of the framing of every issue, real or fake, because they're just better at messaging it to their dunces
Rainbowdaesh
Yes, but the country is controlled by the 1% and not most of the country.
somerandomusernamething
Health insurance companies stand to lose about 20 billion a year if universal passes. That's a big budget to buy politicians with.
SarahDancePainter
Nothing a quick 8$ tweet can’t handle
somerandomusernamething
And since the Senate isn't likely to ever see more than 60 Dems, they only ever need to buy 10 at most
somerandomusernamething
How many Senate Dems do you think will pass up on a billion dollars to shut down universal? Maybe 5 of them
Fatbird
Shockingly few. Nobody on the right, very few in the center, and even very few who are left leaning. Only moderate/far left people do. 1/
Youhavinagiraffe
That's not really true. A lot of the provisions of universal healthcare packages are very popular. It's the branding that gets rejected
somerandomusernamething
Single payer healthcare was polling around 72% approval during the pandemic. I'm sure it's dropped off a bit but still well into majority
Fatbird
Remember, Bernie Sanders campaigned for the bare minimum that every other developed nation already has, and he's "extreme left".
Keeperofthe7keys
Among our politicians yes but I think they meant the country as a whole.
wmzer0mw1
Actually alot more than you think. Most americans want it when asked, but when associated with dems or certain terminology is used 1/
wmzer0mw1
They reject it, but when you ask questions describing it, without mentioning "universal health care", they want it. 2/2
slinkydust
Just like ACA and Obamacare. They are brainwashed to know what words to hate
wmzer0mw1
its really weird, and stupid
BruceVelocity
here's the thing. i'm 65. have gov health insurance. can get 2800/mo 4 nothing. own a home. basically every thing upi guys want. i get it +1
BruceVelocity
i dont get why other boomers dont. i live in your commie socialist wet dream. change "ok boomer" to "fuck off boomer"
BruceVelocity
my point is a lot of people over 65 are living the life genz & mills want. the fact they don't let them have it means the can just f-off
Rainbowdaesh
Yeah, but how much Fox News do you watch? Also, truthfully, did you vote for Reagan?
BruceVelocity
nope. last GOP i voted for was Gov Evens of WA. Back when being a conservative was about conservation and that included the enviroment.
Rainbowdaesh
LiberalViking
We shouldn't use hindsight to blame people for ripple effects they couldn't predict happening decades later. Let's have faith in humanity.
VivF
This. If you never give people a -chance- to change or say they were wrong ... they won't.
