None of this is to claim that younger voters in general are not more to the left on most issues than their older counterparts. They are. But there is a difference between being more progressive than other voters — and progressive as a blanket characterization. As this data clearly shows, that characterization is not accurate and might explain how these voters could become politically untethered from their relative liberalism as they are pressed by economic trends and the swirl of current events.
Will young voters’ liberal but nuanced views on issues lead them to stick with the Democrats, as they have during the past few cycles? Or will they start to break from the party this year and embrace alternatives?
All the gen-z I know will say they won’t vote for Trump. And while they prefer someone other than Biden, they’ll probably vote for him.

“everyone i know is indifferent I guess…”
Those stuck in “reality” are truly left to deal with the fact that indifference has more votes. Cause every election come, folks are just too happy to accept the status quo, or accept facism with a sentiment like “they probably will…”

I’ve yet to see any “Gen-Z for Trump” T-shirts.
Not worried at all about Tate/Peterson type of voters? I am quite worried about the new brand of toxic masculinity, and that demographic definitely leans towards Trump.
Male toxicity has existed for centuries. I think that kind of person is always going to vote for the ‘right’
