I don’t understand how anyone thinks an 81 year old person should be leader of a nation. And will they ever produce good stuff instead of what they’ve been trying and failing to do for so many years and it hurts the people.

When will they help the citizens instead of funding the military and fancy projects that waste money, cutting taxes for billionaires and raising them for the poor, cut social security, cut medicare, cut this, cut that, more money to the military.

So messed up.

I don’t know good places to find accurate news.

    From the first article "According to the exit polling, 18-to 29-year-olds accounted for 12% of voters in the midterms – the lowest share of the electorate compared to other age groups "

    The second one includes those under 54 as “younger” voters.

    Here’s a simple graph:

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/1096299/voter-turnout-presidential-elections-by-age-historical/

    You’ll notice that in 2020, the youngest, presumably most progressive voters votes at about 48%. The oldest, presumably most conservative voters, voted at a rate of 71.9% , or almost exactly one and a half times as much as their younger counter parts.
