Some important details on how GenZ voted:

Young voters favored Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the 2024 election by 4 points: 51% to 47%. That was a much smaller margin than young voters gave President Biden over Trump in 2020 (+25), but still by far the strongest support for Harris of any age group in this election.

It's a manosphere issue, it was 56% of GenZ men getting lost in the right wing incel movement:

Young women preferred Harris to Trump by a 17-point margin: 58% to 41%. But young men preferred Trump by a 14-point margin: 56% to 42%.

(Same source as above)

I try not to stereotype the entire generation, but the male contingent needs a serious mental scrubbing and readjustment of what masculinity really means.

Democrats need to run better candidates. Why are we constantly forced to choose between shit and slightly-less-shit?

Candidates with corporate overlord approval are almost always shit.
