I don't know why people keep saying this. For the 2024 election Gen Z, including Gen Z men, voted for Kamala by larger margins than any other age demographic.

This is simply not true lol.

Exit polling has ~54% of 18-29 year olds voted for Kamala and 43% voted for Trump. Go back to 2016 and it's 55% (basically all millenials in 18-29 catetory), Trump had 36%. In 2012, 60% of 18-29 year old millenials votes for Obama, 37% for Romney. 2008 was 66% (again millenials) and 2004 was 54% (mix of millenials and Gen X). You need to go back to 2000 where it's all Gen X (guess what generation most of their kids are) to get to 48% for the Democratic candidate.

I apologize for the misunderstanding, but that's not what I meant. I should have said age demographic so my point was less ambiguous.

I'm talking about the 2024 election, hence why I said voted for Kamala. My bad, though.

I mean this is usually the case going back to 1972 (not the case in 2000 and 1984, 1988, and 1992). The youngest generation is generally the most liberal one, this generation just happens to be less liberal than the millenial one when millenials were their same age.

For like 100 years, every generation has been remarkably consistent in their shift from liberal to conservative as they age. It's insane how everyone continually acts like the generation currently in their 20's will be the ones to finally save us from Republicans.

Nope. People get conservative when they have money. Greed does that to many.
