The 2022 midterms were swept by a youth wave that isn’t pulling back

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.

There was plenty of 2020-like fraud, with some tweaks, for 2022.

Crying "fraud!" every time we lose an election is lazy.

Rick Scott has said his proposal isn’t to cut Social Security. I can’t remember what it is exactly. I wish I remembered all the important info I hear.

Grassley still seems pretty effective. Mighty impressive.

THEY GOT PUNKED!

Too ignorant and gullible to know that their student loans
were never going to get paid down, much less paid off.
Dangle a carrot on a stick and get on down the road!
That dumb ass pulling the cart to the glue factory doesn't know any better.

And now the rest of us have to suffer for THEIR stupid actions!

THANKS GUYS AND GALS!

That is my point. It’s always been BS. However, the progressives will do it for real in about 15 years.

Grassley still has a nearly eidetic memory. But he still does not acknowledge any Constitutional limits on the subjects of Congressional spending.

He’ll probably drop dead of a heart attack while jogging.

I think he’s trying to arrange for his grandson Pat Grassley to be appointed as his successor.

What Scott said that he wanted to “sunset” all Federal legislation after five years. Democrats pounced on it to state that the sunsetting would cover Federal programs like Social Security and Medicare, which would be technically accurate. Both Scott and House Minority Leader McCarthy clarified these remarks to indicate that they did not mean the elderly benefit programs. However, the horse was out of the barn by that point.

Impresses the heck out of me. My grandfather walked or ran 3 miles everyday up to his 90’s. Lived to 97.
