Gen X (my generation) trended like 3% for Biden. Everything older than Gen X trended Trump. It was Millennials and Gen Z that got Biden elected. But don't let that get in the way of you shitting on "younger voters."

Referring to Hillary as voting for her Vagina is bigotry. It's misogyny JI7 Jun 2022 #53

Oh it is bigotted and insulting to women. Demsrule86 Jun 2022 #60

He might be referring to us having a super majority under Obama Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2022 #30

The "super majority" during Obama's term is vastly over-stated...nt Wounded Bear Jun 2022 #39

Well, Republicans haven't had a super majority since 1911 Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2022 #40

There was NO supermajority inthewind21 Jun 2022 #46

So how have Republicans gotten anything done in the same time period? Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2022 #61

Turnout was very low. Older black people had mutter to do with helping Biden JI7 Jun 2022 #79

The numbers are what they are. Older than Gen X went Trump. Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2022 #81

Race had more factor than age. As you say the numbers are what they are JI7 Jun 2022 #82

Not arguing that. The original post I responded to indicated young voters don't bother. Cuthbert Allgood Jun 2022 #83
