Listed 37% of boomers and 43% of millennials identify as dems. The rest are R or I I assume. Many boomers did not vote R. The majority posting here did not vote R. Not voting is a big problem imo, especially now, there is no excuse whatever your age unless you are being intimidated not to.
There are far many more dems overall but dems have a big problem with non voters. If you dont vote you are part of the problem, whatever your age. I dont like the candidate, Im too pure, I am too busy, my life is too hard, I moved, Im depressed, I need to be inspired, they are all the bad/ the same and so on, none are a reason not to vote. I was never that inspired or even really liked 99% of people I voted for but I know what the stakes are, especially now, and I always voted, always for dems. The alternative was always terrible.
Some seem to think there is a choice of not voting, some seem to think this is a big reality show with no consequences. We are living with the consequences of the last election with fascism and insanity taking over the government.
