Summary
Gen Z posted greater voter turnout in 2022 compared to previous generations in midterm elections. As the 2024 election approaches, campaigning continues to be directed at this generation — including outreach led by Gen Z voters themselves.
Gen Z voters are more motivated to participate in elections due to specific policy issues, particularly reproductive rights. Political groups and candidates are implementing new strategies to engage this generation, including peer-to-peer organizing and authentic messaging.
Vice President Harris has been praised for her relatable social media presence, while former President Trump has appeared on popular male-dominated podcasts.
Bullshit. The message from the left is “you don’t HAVE to be a privileged piece of shit that is a useless rapist.” That isn’t just aimed at young white men. It’s aimed at anyone that was raised in a culture of toxic masculinity and feels like that’s the persona they have to project to be considered manly. You have the choice to not be that person. The fact that so many men are is why women don’t want to be alone around a strange man. Does that seem unfair to you? It probably is, but it’s the culture we’ve built over generations, and it’s going to take time and work to fix it. You aren’t part of the solution by complaining. The left is pointing out uncomfortable truths. The right is doubling down and trying to encode them into laws.
