HONESTLY

Can’t believe I’m gonna say it but I hate millennials ya’ll lied and tricked me 

Because:

Young people are less likely to be educated about their rights and voting procedures, and despite efforts some of them may not have got registered in time.

Young people are more likely to be working two jobs or working a job while in school, and not all states tell employers they have to give them time off. Especially for primaries. And caucuses. Caucuses are a massive time commitment and happen at times that give privilege to people working “standard” hours, which young people are less likely to be doing.

The voting system disadvantages young people, and I don’t think it’s an accident.

Yeah I didn’t vote because I registered in the county my family lives in instead of where I go to school, and I didn’t find out how to do early voting or an absentee ballot or whatever it is in time.

That’s a big way young voters get disenfranchised, too. The school thing. There needs to be a better setup, but a lot of politicians seem to want the exact opposite. Can’t have the kids vote, right? :/.

Also why is voting in the middle of the fucking week? Like who’s more likely to be able to vote young people in college or working low paying jobs as their only source of income to pay for college loans or rent

Or older generations who already have a starting point (a house, a job they’ve been working at long enough they aren’t scared they’ll be fired asking for days off, a job that actually pays them well so they don’t have to work insane hours just to cover the basics or pay off small debt amount)

People saying shit like this act like Millennials just go to college and then home or can just tell skip work or take days off. Yeah you choose (should I vote or go to work) when you’re 40,000-100 and something thousand in debt with a shitty low level job cause you need 17 years of experience for a good paying job.

ABSENTEE BALLOTS!! PRINT AND MAIL OFF!!!

IMPORTANT

The reason why voting is on tuesday is because back when the country was founded, only the big cities had voting polls and most of the country was farm. They couldn’t do it on sunday because that’s the Sabbath so they made monday a travel day to the nearest major city so that they could vote on tuesday. It’s an archaic reason that is an inconvinience to everyone and they need to make voting day a national holiday or something
