Apparently not, because people have been trying to get young people to vote for decades, and nobody has managed it.
But also, gen z has been trending right. So I don't know if this would actually work.
- lumost 2y agoGen Z is in rough shape financially, much worse than millennials were. It’s a recipe for radicalization one way or the other.
- llamaimperative 2y agoI must’ve missed all the successful general strikes? Trump got young men to vote in droves.
- Trasmatta 2y agoTake a look at history, general strikes are very effective. But my point was that we're very far from actually having one because there isn't enough public support. People just don't care. If they did, they would have voted against Trump.
