Briefly breaking my Twitter hiatus to share my latest: By numbers, millennials and Gen Z have more power than ever this year to shape the election. But many feel more disillusioned than empowered.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/22/us/politics/young-voters-biden-sanders.html …
The category "millennials and Gen Z" is enormous, as I wrote: The oldest millennials, born in 1981, were finishing up college or just out of it on 9/11. The youngest in Gen Z weren't born on 9/11. I'm in the middle; I was about to turn 12.
But members of this massive two-generation group also have a lot in common: They came of age under an endless series of crises. 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, the recession, mass shootings, climate change, pandemic.
As I wrote: "The result is perhaps the most profound generational gap since the 1960s: between the Generation X, baby boomer and Silent Generation voters who remember one world, and the millennial and Generation Z voters for whom that world never existed."https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/22/us/politics/young-voters-biden-sanders.html …
The generational gap has been playing out through the prism of the presidential race, and most recently between Sanders and Biden supporters. I wrote about that a couple weeks ago.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/us/politics/joe-biden-young-voters-bernie-sanders.html …
But it's so much deeper than one campaign, and that's what this article is about. I hope you'll read it.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/22/us/politics/young-voters-biden-sanders.html …
they could have demonstrated that by voting in the early state's primaries but they didn't
Seems obvious they don’t vote though
1/ I'll interpret this to mean that they want things to be given to them (their sense of entitlement) because they don't want to work for it. Unlike other generations which organized & went out into the streets protesting, young people today think that criticizing & harassing...
2/ ppl online is a valid form of protesting. It's not. It's the laziest form of protesting ever, especially in light of the fact that most people don't live online, so their anger & frustration doesn't break through.
This may be the best article ever written in the NYTIMES. You nailed it. I'm 37, my husband's 38, we voted for Bernie. I don't even know if his vote counted, since his registration was changed to GOP & he had to get a provisional ballot. He had to take a day off work to vote. It
seems like there are layers of voter suppression to overcome. The moderates oppose voter suppression in the general election bc we give them an advantage against the GOP. But they favor it in primaries bc young ppl give progressives an advantage over them. I've lost all hope.
