I am not an actual paid historian. I've only lived here since 1965. But I've paid darn close attention to elections and especially to younger people and how they vote or more importantly, continue to remain disenfranchised. As I understand it, disenfranchisement is the number one voting problem.

Young voters have always underperformed.

Okay Kent!😁✌️ You cannot see young voters rushing out! It's true actually! Young voters never rush out in droves in packs in masses in federal elections. They continue to underperform as the highest underperforming age group of any in American Federal elections; there incl systemic reasons.

I don't know how you can discuss the vote without discussing the system. So I guess we're not having a very productive discussion today.

I heard about birding more during the pandemic but didn't realize that people actually got into it and then stayed with it. Now that I've started to pay attention I can't imagine ever not paying attention again. It's an awareness.

I disagree many young people will continue to not vote despite party.

Young voters have been used and manipulated from the get-go when the vote was lowered to 18. This is a special interest of mine.

Young voters will keep doing what they do which is not vote.

My point is as a American voter, it is super easy for me to vote. I pre-register,I vote early by mail. Please explain a country with an easier system! Bc Not all States Figure out why people don't vote. It is complicated, it is embedded in male female relationships, we barely have voted. And racism

That's what I said in my second post. Systemically things are so bad that there isn't a good starting point about where to fix it. Women are disenfranchised is still a fact? Anywhere is a starting point to make it better.

You care more about US voting rights than Americans do. It must be pretty weird to not be in this country while this is happening. Honestly, less than half of people actually vote! Less than half of voters actually vote in any Federal election. That is the biggest point to be made, rest is noise.

It's not how any of this works. The postage on my ballot is prepaid! If I want to I can vote for my household. Nothing is as it seems.
