My son is 25 he didn't vote in 2016 because like so many, he simply figured Hillary would win. He thought, like others that trump could never get elected.

He had come back from working in Idaho, where he was registered to vote, and he is now registered in Washington state, and ready to vote. He favors Warren, but he also said no matter who wins the nomination he is going to vote for that person. Many of his gaming friends friends on line feel the same way.
