Voting is the answer (at least part of the answer) because it’s what kept Trump out of office for another four years despite him getting all those votes. Now even more of Gen Z is voting age, as long as they vote like they did in the midterms conservatives don’t have long in office. They’ll have some gerrymandered strongholds like Texas and Florida but things should slowly be getting better now that more and more of the conservative voters are dying off either from old age or COVID.
Seriously these past midterms were historic, this millennial loves Gen Z lol
Gerrymandering should have no impact on the Senate or the Executive elections, aside from the subressive effect. We still vote for geriatric vampires more often then not, and those geriatric vampires really, really can’t let the new, fresh people have positions of power. We’ve seen that happen over and over with those who should be stars (effective stars) in Congress. I understand completely that it’s better than the fucking Republicans, but it’s kind of like picking what method you’re going to die from. I think you’re vastly underestimating the deplorable factor in the US. For once though, finally, it does seem like these younger generations are making a hard turn to do the right thing. I hope it pays off, just on a pragmatic level I think we’ve already passed the point of no return so I’m just watching the world slowly burn.
I think you’re underestimating the effects of old generations dying off while simultaneously a supremely motivated younger generation is coming in. I’m not saying it’ll be smooth sailing and that voting alone is the answer, I’m saying we have to keep fighting and voting is part of the answer. It’s not the silver bullet that will solve everything but we can’t move forward with fascists in office so we have to vote them out.
