I wonder if millennials will take this moment to look back on what might have been. The oldest of them were voting age for the 2000 election, and they set the record for low participation for their age group, as they did for the next couple of cycles.
2000 was a low-turnout election won by the narrowest margin ever. How different would the lives and fortunes of millennials have turned out if the outcome of that election had gone the other way?
- LarsAlereon 4y agoI really don't like this trend of blaming voters for political parties running non-charismatic candidates who don't have a coherent pitch for why people should vote for them.
- blacksqr 4y agoIn the USA the voters are sovereign, which means they get 100% of the credit and the blame for the results of elections. That's Rule 0 of democracy. I don't know if you're a millennial, but you seem to have reinforced my point that they continue not to understand their own responsibility for the outcomes of their lives and fortunes.
