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.
