(9,527 posts)You are not having your voice literally suffocated. It's especially amusing that you say this right after saying that polls are meaningless. Both can't be true. You aren't being bullied because other people disagree with you.
Show up and vote and people will take you seriously. Unverified claims that lots of people in our age bracket will show up is functionally meaningless unless we do. Although given that I've voted in every general election I've been able to, means I am not lumped in with my generation.
I'm 34, I vote. I get why concerns of my generation are ignored. It's because people my age choose to not vote. If you're in the fight great, but quit whining that nobody takes you seriously when you have proven that you won't vote. Young people rarely vote. There's no cost to a politician for not listening. Don't take your ball and go home because you didn't get what you want. Fight to make it possible next time. I have a list of things I'm working on a mile long. I won't get them tonight, but I will fight for them tonight, tomorrow and until I do.
