The party — often behind closed doors — is taking a page out of the anti-democracy playbook.
The youth vote continues to play a major role in Democrats’ electoral success. A recent analysis found that Democrats maintain a 21-point advantage over Republicans with young voters. The GOP understands this problem well: As former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker admitted earlier this year on Fox News, “Young people are the problem,” and Republicans must “turn it around if [they] are going to win again.”
If so many young people hate you so much, maybe you’re the problem.
I can’t tell you how often I hear “if voting mattered they wouldn’t allow it” and I’m just like, are you not paying attention? They are doing everything they can to prevent you from voting. Which means voters scare them. So use that. Vote. Let them know you vote, but mostly just vote. Vote because the guy who was promised a free voter ID, but can’t afford to go to the county of his birth for a copy of his birth certificate, can’t.
