(42,504 posts)Voter turnout amount young voters was abysmal in '22, which helped (note I said helped) lead to DeathSentence's landslide.
Those of us who are active in Dem party here are doing everything we can to work with young Democrats to increase turnout in '24.
As a woman nearing Medicare age, '22 was especially frustrating to me. My sister Democrats and I have worked for decades to protect women's rights. Roe gets overturned and young women in FL don't vote? Then the FL leg passes a 6-week ban?
I heard anecdotally from a fellow woman Democrat who owns a small business. She has a bright, young, very liberal female employee who was shocked and appalled when the 6-week ban passed. The woman asked her employee if she voted in '22. Employee said, 'no, what difference would that make?'
If you think us old folks aren't trying to reverse that attitude, think again.
