1. the half that do will be mostly voting democratic...

and that won't influence election outcomes? Where do they find this commentators? Walmart?

2. To all the elders out there.

Please give up on my generation.


We're not worth it.

3. Honestly, if millennial turnout was 50 percent, that would be incredible.

The headline can be taken two ways. Either that nearly half of millennials aren't planning on voting, or that half of millennials are planning on voting in midterms, which is WAAAY up from where it usually is.

12. Agreed. 50% turnout would be fantastic

especially considering how the half will vote

4. Well, unless someone has educated them on how to suss out truth

from lies, I don't blame them if they are overwhelmed.

My daughter not only vote, she CAMPAIGNS! And volunteers.

They need to be shown the way

11. Their parents should be ashamed

and ought to kick those freeloaders out of the house until they get some sense. Geez. They're ruining their own futures.
