      Binyamin Appelbaum Retweeted Ezra Klein

      I'm generally sympathetic to this argument, but one important caveat is that Millennials have made things worse for themselves -- or ignored a chance to make things better -- by not voting.https://twitter.com/ezraklein/status/1249770622940401665 …

      Millennials have been historically screwed by forces beyond their control twice, and the effects will last their whole lives. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/04/millennials-are-new-lost-generation/609832/ … pic.twitter.com/JOaPv5bGGH

      My understanding is that millennials vote at about the same rate (and possibly a little higher) than earlier cohorts when those cohorts were in their 20s and 30s. Which suggests the chief factor in limiting voting is structural (work, mobility).

          although I can testify that most millennials I personally know couldn't care less they pride themselves on being above politics

          The issue is more Boomers have such a giant percent voting block that we did came in to vote and anyone over 50 still outvoted us.

          I think desire is the limiting factor, not work or mobility.

          And a time during which the GOP has introduced or maintained a host of obstacles to voting in multiple states that disproportionately impede the precariously employed (many of whom are Millennials & younger). Blaming the young for not voting is too easy by half.
