Isn't it cherry picking data when you show data on the 2022 midterms? The 2024 election is the one that really fucked things up, I think that should be the data that's most relevant.

If you read the graphic for 5 seconds you see this is tracking the first possible year this generation could vote.

In their first ever election more genz voted than Millennials and voted more blue.

Don't worry tho, because genz as a generation voted more blue than Millennials in 2024 as well.

The point I made is you people have absolutely nothing to whine about when it comes to how genz votes.

Methinks you're hiding the 2024 data because there was indeed a shift to the right by GenZ in 2024. Everyone knows election results are always about the margins since most people just vote the same way as their parents. So the margins and trends matter. If there is a marginal shift to the right be GenZ, this is a significant problem since people tend to get more conservative as they get older.

It's also very concerning that young white men shifted towards voting for a crazy old white man when he was running against a competent black woman. You're trying to hand wave away that as some weird anomaly, but what caused that "anomaly"? Is there something about our culture causing that? Is our culture changing in a way that won't happen again, or will that "anomaly" become more pronounced in the future?

Does GenZ have a greater tendency to vote along gender or ethnic lines? That's an indication the maybe the kids are not alright. Is misogyny a successful campaign strategy now?

We obviously can't know how things will play out in the future. But there is cause for concern when the trends are going in the direction they are.

Wow you are such a whiny bitch ready to blame all your own problems on genz for some reason.

Here, I'll spoonfeed you this easily searchable info

Oh look, the majority vote left.

I'm blocking you now because if this doesn't make you shut up you're being a troll.

You're cherry-picking data from one state now...

I’m blocking you now because if this doesn’t make you shut up you’re being a troll.

Sure... I'm the "whiny bitch" in this discussion, LOL.
