Gen Z seeks to grow ranks in Congress
The Hill ^ | 01/01/2024 | Julia Mueller

Posted on 01/01/2024 2:34:09 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

More Generation Z candidates are lining up to run for office this year amid frustration over the country’s aging political class.

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) became Congress’s first member belonging to Gen Z — the age bracket considered to begin with people born in 1997 or later — after 2022’s midterms.

Now, at least two fellow Gen Z Democrats are vying to join Frost this year as they look to broaden their generation’s presence in the House, where the median age of voting members is around 58 years.

Everything generation has been more .gov post WW2. There isn’t a generation that has held the line and said less government and less government spending.

Gen Z: In a 2018 Gallup poll, 51% of Americans aged 18 to 29—young Millennials and older Gen Z—have a positive view of socialism, compared to 45% having a positive view of capitalism.

The generation is largely in favor of LGBT rights, gender equality, and access to abortion.

In 2017 a survey showed 72% of Americans aged 15 to 24 held unfavorable views of President Donald Trump. A 2018 Pew Research Center poll found that among those aged 13 to 21, only 30% approved of Trump’s job performance, and in a 2020 Politico poll, only about 28% of those aged 18 to 23 approved of Donald Trump’s job performance.

According to a Politico survey, a 2020 Presidential election with only Generation Z voters would see Joe Biden win 51% of the popular vote, compared to Donald Trump’s 25%. However, almost half of Biden voters said they were voting against Trump rather than for Biden.

In a 2018 Gallup poll, 51% of Americans aged 18 to 29—young Millennials and older Gen Z—have a positive view of socialism, compared to 45% having a positive view of capitalism. In a 2019 poll more than half of Gen Z Americans have an unfavorable view of capitalism, and almost two-thirds said they were likely to vote for a socialist candidate.

In contrast with older generations who mainly receive news from television news, Generation Z receives their information primarily from social media.

You’re not even kidding. I could not hide my shock that 85% of Americans are so blindingly obedient they took vaxxes as soon as possible.
Discarding biology 99 and basic rationale.
That spelled the end.
