There are a lot more reasons for why young people don’t vote as much than just them being lazy. For example, young people move a lot more often than old people, so they have to update their voter registration. And if they don’t do that those two hours of their life they have to take off are meaningless.
Also, I highly doubt I’d get everything I wanted even if Democrats ran the entire country from bottom to top, because what I want isn’t terribly popular even among Democrats.
I wouldn’t say it’s even necessarily laziness, probably just general apathy with anything remotely political and using Democrat ineffectiveness as an excuse that “nothing will ever change”. Change is slow and takes committed effort, year after year, seemingly nobody has time for that.
If I hadn’t been in a family with a deep interest in politics I’d avoid it, too. People get really mad about it, and I’ve got enough shit going on that I don’t need to watch a nationwide argument every year on top of it.
But thanks to my parents I get to deal with all the political shit and all the normal shit.
4 years ago the dems ran on not caging children at the border, now Kamala is running on how she’s going to sign a republican border bill and “secure our border”.
Is it really that hard to imagine why some voters might feel apathetic about voting for democrats?

Only if they’re paying attention. A lot of people just… aren’t.
