Summary
Gen Z posted greater voter turnout in 2022 compared to previous generations in midterm elections. As the 2024 election approaches, campaigning continues to be directed at this generation — including outreach led by Gen Z voters themselves.
Gen Z voters are more motivated to participate in elections due to specific policy issues, particularly reproductive rights. Political groups and candidates are implementing new strategies to engage this generation, including peer-to-peer organizing and authentic messaging.
Vice President Harris has been praised for her relatable social media presence, while former President Trump has appeared on popular male-dominated podcasts.
YoUnG pEoPlE dOn’T vOtE! - people who don’t want to address young people’s concerns.
- Congress person addresses young people’s concern 😁
- Young people don’t vote anyway 🥱
- Congress person gets replaced by gerontological conservative 😔
- Young people [surprised Pikachu face]
- Boomers continue to bankrupt social security 🤑
Like so. Just preemptively announce that young people aren’t gonna vote so you can continue to ignore their concerns.
Do housing next. That’s an area where everyone is equally fucked on the political spectrum aside from the rich.
Corporations should not own housing, unless its a non-profit working to serve the underprivileged.
Cool, but I am not convinced that CIS Gen-Z men aren’t mobilized to vote for Trump.
More than past generations at their age. 18-29 year olds still vote less than any other age group. About 25% of Gen Z voted in 2022. While they’re slightly more likely to vote than other age cohorts at the same age, youth voting is still dismal in the United States.
The Youngs, the olds and the Puerto Ricans will save us all. Cool

Yeah, but watch out. Allegedly they’re more conservative than you think.
And we’re still somehow projected to lose the election to Donald fucking Trump.
