I agree, but as long as a minority of people under 30 bother to vote, why would they expect politicians to care about them?
I vote a lot and politicians don't care about me.
Good, now get the other 60% of people under 30 to vote as well
They care even less than politicians about what I think.
Then get involved directly if you want to see someone with your opinions on the ballots.
They'll end up losing because I am weird and most people will vote for the other guy.
that's so weird to see... look at the eu parliament elections a couple weeks ago.
so many young people voted.
In the US, it's not cool to pay attention to politics. People under 40 will refuse to vote and then brag about because the system is rigged. They won't run for any elected office either. In my state, most local races are unopposed Republicans. That's right, our left wing (lol left wing) party can't even field candidates in most races because Democrats are so unpopular and no one wants to run.
It's okay. This is likely the last election for a while. What's going to be the most frustrating is when the undesirables are killed or reeducated, they'll act like it was inevitable.
