The “red wave” political pundits have been predicting for months failed to materialize this past Tuesday. But what happened was not a “blue wave” either — rather, the 2022 election should be categorized as a “youth wave,” with near-historic numbers of young people turning out to vote, motivated not by party, but by the issues impacting them.
Early data from the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts (CIRCLE) suggests that 27 percent of people ages 18-29 cast a ballot in 2022, marking the second-highest youth turnout in a midterm election in the past three decades. In critical states where razor-thin margins are ultimately determining control of local, state and federal legislatures, including Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, CIRCLE found that youth turnout was even higher, at 31 percent.

what about the ‘right’ to kill their unborn children? Abstinence and birth control aren’t viable options, so why would they vote for a party that condemns infanticide? /s
At least their Student loan bailouts were ruled Unconstitutional by a Federal judge.
Young people haven’t accumulated enough in life to worry about others taking it so giving them someone else’s stuff sounds just fine to them
Lindsey Graham announced that the Republicans would pass a National Abortion Ban in mid September knowing full well Biden would just veto it - he said it anyway knowing it would give the dems a way to stir up their base.
Tell me again how this is all Trump’s fault
You have to wonder if Graham’s proposal, or Rick Scott’s proposal to cut back Social Security were not deliberate sabotage to stimulate Democrats to turn out. Senator Graham in particular is a duplicitous politician. Surely South Carolina can do better.
They played it brilliantly, destroy the Red Wave, then blame Trump for it.
Graham’s fake signal gave the Dems enough ammo to go on TikTok and let the young girls know they were gonna get their rights taken away - Lindsey gave them all they needed.
Buy votes. They will be responsible for the debt and the carrying costs on the debt.
We need to see their same day voting registrations and matchup to where they ‘left’ from and see if they also voted in the state they were from.
LOL! They voted to reward Biden for the student loan giveaway and now Lucy has yanked the football.
Those idiots don't realize they are forming the apocalyptic scenario that will crush them in 20 years. It's not going to be pretty. English will be the minority language. The cartels will operate freely. The chinks will be fighting for the scraps.
And these girly-men white boys will have given up their guns, sacrificed their testicles to follow the trans fad, etc.
Yeah, they're voting on the issues. /s
Of course it is a win 4 slow joe either way
“..near-historic numbers of young people turning out to vote, motivated not by party, but by the issues impacting them...”
and the issues:
1.student loans forgiveness
2.abortion
adoration of self!!!
Biden is 80,Trump is 76, MCCONNELL IS in his upper 70’s as are Pelosi and Schumer. Chuck Grasely got elected at 89! We have to go young, and now.
Agree wholeheartedly.
Repubs wanting to cut Social Security is a BS Demonicrat narrative.
Hallelujah!
What was the percentage?
More narrative.
38% Hispanic voted Republican? Isn’t that quite an increase?
