Jesus christ the replies alone are worth a read. I just don't really know how many times these weird political people have to learn the same fucking lesson. It's extra fun given the parallels between the dems in the US and labour over here.
'Young people' (not really but whatever, we can use it as a stand in for people more or less disilusioned and disnefranchised by the current regime) aren't gonna vote for the other guys they are just not gonna vote or chuck away their vote on a 3rd party they know won't win.
You aren't gonna scare them into voting with horror stories cos frankly at a certain point it's hard to fathom a microscopic difference in how shit and insecure your life will be.
You're not gonna browbeat or guilt trip them into voting either cos largely they correctly view the democratic party machine as a pit of lanyard wearing, corrupt and self serving vipers.
Jesus fucking christ, if you want people to vote for you then actually offer them something meaningful that will actually improve their lives, otherwise the brainworm infected monsters will gleefully turn out and elect some utter arsehole cos there's a good chance they will be able to vicariously enjoy the horror that the government will openly subject minority groups to, as opposed to conducting it behind closed doors like the dems will carry on doing.
That's been a weird talking point of online conservatives for a while now. They've been comparing voting for politicians who offer welfare as tantamount to slavery because... I think the idea is if you weren't on welfare, you'd have more money to make a stupid small business. It's leaked into hustle culture too. Immediate material needs are secondary to long term imaginary business goals.
From the people I've seen on Twitter, it seems more like "we can't offer people things in exchange for their vote, that's immoral. They have to vote for Dems just because they're the moral choice, and how it affects their lives doesn't matter"

That's the neat part, they aren't interested in learning anything at all. These people make a fat living off of publicly saying "republicans bad" and that's it. Drafting up good policy or lifting a finger to do fucking anything except tweet nonsense would expose the sham that is Democrat politics. If they accomplished anything good at all, people would come to expect that. Instead, they can rely on the ridiculously short memory of Americans to forget about their complete ineptitude while they demand you vote for them. Carrot on a stick.
