will younger generations (including millennials) show up to vote

Reading that made me rather frustrated.

When they call Millennials a "younger generation" just ignore it... I'm last on the Gen X at 42, and a bunch of millennials are in their early 40s, and 30s... they are not "young". Fuck, even the youngest millennials are in their late 20s and all. Gen Z as far as truly younger voters go.. half of this generation is not even old enough to vote yet and we have been seeing better participation rates across the board in between millennial jrs' and them.

being said the article is trying to feed in to the late Gen X, and elder millennial disenfranchisement bit where younger people did not vote because of disenfranchisement by the Boomer, and Silent gen voting blocks. That equation is no longer valid even with the last of the boomer leadership still being in play for some time to come.

Reading though it ... and maybe I'm projecting, but it just felt like they cherry picked people to drive a voter apathy type of narrative that was common during late Gen X and older millennial days. Or otherwise to try and play in to some narrative about younger people not knowing who to vote for, and thus they don't etc... As if to try and promote the same bullshit that made lots of Gen X, and older millennials disengaged in politics to benefit the established voter blocks interests.
