85. They voted in 2020
Tue Jul 23, 2024, 01:58 PM
Jul 2024

As the father of three milenials I can assure you that they voted in 2020 and will vote again in 2024. Their concern was that Biden was too old and that he didn't fully understand thier concerns. They wanted someone younger. They understand the consequences of not voting this fall. They all have LGBT friends as well as non binary friends. They understand what rights they would lose if Trump is elected. I spoke to my youngest yesterday and I asked him if he was happy that Harris was now the presumptive nominee and he said yes and he was very enthusiastic about her. He liked Biden but the 60 year age gap was something that was very concerning for him and his peers. What this age group wants is to know that our leaders are aware of thier needs and concerns and that they have skin in the game.
