68. Young people don't vote...

and haven't since the 80s.

The polls may be correct, but unless the 20-somethings register and vote, their opinions don't matter. Here in Florida, the percent of retired right-wing idiots and country bumpkins vote at a much higher percentage than college students and young adults.

Yes, it's "trendy" with youngsters to say you're "independent", and simply don't register or participate. My wife and I teach these young people (going on 40 years), and we see it every day. If you ask young parents picking up kids from school, or HS/college students - most have not registered. The ones who have registered are usually gun nuts or someone whose GOPer employer pushed them to contribute to the repubs.

There are very few liberal groups that are politically active, but recently I've seen some action with women. Hopefully it's a trend that will change the participation of millennials.
