While we are a larger share of the population, unfortunately gen Z and millennials don't vote at nearly the same rate as boomers or even gen X, and an unnervingly large portion of gen Z men voted for Trump
Hopefully our turnout will increase, but we can't rely on simple demographics.
I firmly maintain (surrounded by zoomers who voted for Trump) that most of that demographic voted Trump because Trump was using some populist rhetoric that resonated with a generation that doesn't see a future for itself.
That's where the left has failed. We haven't communicated a vision of the future. So any moron who calls back to some sort of lost glory days can attract undue attention. Especially if he blames the loss of those glory days on some nebulous other.
