and voters are to blame ofc.
Yeah, speaking as someone who voted for Harris but has friends I wasn’t able to persuade to vote at all, that voter blaming troll bullshit helps Republicans win elections whether the people pushing it recognize it or not
That is also true and a real problem, but it would be more accurate to say that more of that 18-29 demographic who turned out to vote voted for Trump than before

I would be interested to see how that 50% number for those battleground states compares to the percentage of 18-29 voters who turned out in those same states in 2020 and 2016, but I think the general story here isn’t that zoomers are actually getting more conservative but that the Democratic party did a terrible job getting their young voters to turn out
