Current Events > Republican candidates are turning away young Replublicans

(+) Yeah! (+)

Whats clear from the data is that young Democrats turned out, said Victor Shi, the director of strategy for Voters of Tomorrow, a Generation Z-centered civics advocacy group. An analysis of early voting data, he said, indicated that young people had cast a million more Democratic votes than Republican ones. And he said that early voting by young Democratic supporters exceeded 2018 totals in three battleground states Georgia, Michigan and Ohio.

Political analysts said that young people were attracted to the Democratic side by its position on issues they consider crucial: abortion, climate change and gun rights among them. President Bidens deftly timed decision this fall to forgive a share of student loan debt since halted by court rulings also could not have hurt.

If you look at the battleground states, what we see is young Democrats surging and young Republicans staying home. He said he believed that the extremist positions of Republican candidates in those states riled up young Democrats but had the opposite effect on Republicans.

In Wisconsin, the director of the state Democratic Party, Ben Wikler, offered his own statistic: Just before the 2018 midterms, the state claimed 654,000 registered voters under age 35. This year, he said, the comparable figure was 783,000 a 20 percent increase.

Ohio is no longer a battleground state

Republicans came out in droves. Every major position was won by them, this article is shit.

I hope so. Republicans really need to rebrand, and becoming more moderate makes for more healthy competition and potentially more agreement across the isle. The farcical extreme republicans were never the majority but them being the face of the party has fucked it up real good. Maybe they can finally start to oust those creeps.

Honestly I don't care anymore if the Republicans purge their crazies and move towards the center. If they want to continue being unlikable unelectable lunatics then I say let em.

They can earn their place on the ash heap of history.

Uh, Ohio is no longer a battleground state and Republicans came out in droves. Every major position was won by them, this article is shit.

Republicans don't want agreement across the aisle.

They may need to if they want to fix themselves now. They may have gone too far to survive without a rebrand. They still havent bottomed out yet but they will have to see the writing on the wall eventually

republican leadership will burn the party, and the country, to the ground before taking one single step to the left.

You seem to think politics is about politics. Any politician will say whatever will get them the vote. With MAGA crap dying off they will start jumping ship left and right to do whatever the younger voters want.

Brainwashed boomers are dying.

Zoomers are getting older and can vote now. And they are very progressive.

I actually think we'll be swinging away from Republican ideology as years move on. Zoomers aren't watching Fox News.

I'm struggling to think of what young republicans could even want out of the republican party other than the racism and shit

Being a "good candidate" seems to matter much more for Republicans than Democrats.

I hear Republicans all the time talking about "I don't wanna vote for this or that idiot".

Being a "good candidate" seems to matter much more for Republicans than Democrats.

repub messaging has been horrible midterm cycle. not enough talk about how inflation historically high, gas prices astronomical and totally reliant on enemies for our fuel, crime through the roof in nearly every major city, borders completely overwhelmed, wars and instability worldwide with little done but throwing money to buddy regimes. dying on the abortion hill rather than pointing out the huge nosedive the country has taken last few years

We need less Republicans.
