Number 2 requires motivation. People under 40 lean left and don't vote, people over 60 lean right and do vote. We have a whole generation now that if they showed up like their parents/grandparents could shake this country in a way haven't seen since the new deal. The issue I see among my peers is apathy and disillusionment. "They're all the same" or "Both sides are corrupt" is the mantra of large swathes of non voters. You need someone who speaks to them and feel genuine. The Democrats could win in 2020 simply due to Republican fatigue, but could be right back to present situation in 2024. I really think there is a chance here to make a mark in ways haven't seen since the 1960s left shift or 1980s right shift in politics. |
Are they wrong though?
Just do what they do in Australia force everyone to vote lol.
Then you end up with minor governments that barely hold each other together and the opposition always reject the governments policy proposals. Then people say these asses aren't doing shit so they vote for the other part next election and they barely win and then they get all their policies rejected.
A never ending circle of swapping and changing and not much getting done because the other party who didn't win feels they have to block almost everything.
State governments are even worst here, one will approve a 2billion budget and get contracts signed a month later the new government will cancel the project and pay out the contracts to honour them lol. And all this because 20 people complain about it lol.
