That is paywalled and also does not address this video. Who in this video said they were voting for Republicans, or not voting?

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Sorry for the paywall. The vast majority of voters are 65 and over. The lowest being 18. Check out the midterm numbers. Gen Z is simply not voting. Just complaining. Even my age group which is Gen X isn't doing that great either.

Answer my question or just ignore me. Because right now, it seems like all you're doing is being a cynical asshole bringing up irrelevant shit on a post that shows no relation to what you're saying.

Your job is to prove that the people in this video vote Republican or don't vote. That's what I asked.

Also, should it be surprising that the youngest voters are 18, when 18 is the voting age?

Pretty sure they said lowest and meant lowest turnout by age range, which historically has been the case. Here's some data from recent elections showing this https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/07/12/voter-turnout-2018-2022/

Ah, in that case that statement makes sense. It is worrying that the youngest do vote the least.

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

The point is they don't vote. Not that they vote republican because they typically don't vote republican. The 65 over votes in higher numbers and more than often vote republican.

I don't owe you anything. I don't have a job to do. I don't care what you ask for. You don't matter to me.

I'm was simply making a correlation between people who are complaining on TikTok and people who are voting and nothing more.

So, you haven't got a single fucking clue how they voted. Thought so.

Whatever makes you feel better, honey.

There's nothing about this i'm trying to "feel better" about. Nice try, though.

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Why are you so mad? Having a hard time at home? Parents didn't take you coming out well? This is a safe space man. Let it out.

Don't try to involve me in your teen fetish, creep. Poor attempt to change the subject, and a clear disrespect for struggling queer youth - and, by the way, you still haven't proved how these youths voted.

I am neither queer nor a teenager, but the fact you even tried to bully me for being a queer teen is quite disturbing, and tells me I certainly don't need to take you seriously as a person.

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I feel your struggles. I have you get through them. As a person who also struggles with my sexuality, I understand. I hope you eventually find happiness.

Why are you like this? Why come up with these weird fantasies? Just take the L and move on instead of trying to troll in the most bizarre way.

You don't know how these people voted. That's just a fact.
