I guess this might also explain a little of why older people vote in greater numbers? They've seen that their vote has an eventual impact, while young people don't have such perspective?
- layer8 4y agoI believe it’s because older people have experienced how politics impacts their live, and because they follow politics more. However they can’t have seen that their individual vote has had a discernible impact, as that would be counterfactual. Voting because you believe your personal vote will change the course of history is objectively irrational — you’re more likely to win the lottery.
