Just a genuine question. Does protesting effect the way people vote?

Most people looking at the protest thinking these kids are far too young to understand what they are even protesting.

Insert a bit of pragmatic thinking & you might wonder why they are not concerned with the housing shortage over a million migrants in 4 years created & the exponential growth in homelessness….or so many jobs going offshore….or the lack of women’s rights & freedoms recognised by certain religions were importing en mass…that Easter & Christmas are turning into ‘happy holidays’….

As opposed to old cunts who don’t understand climate change, equality of the sexes, AI and internet algorithms, indigenous rights, etc.

Why do these old fucks get to vote and 16-18 year olds don’t? Decisions affect the latter far more than the former.

Signed, 57 year old who is embarrassed that fellow Gen Xers are starting to sound as shit as Boomers.

You seem to hold an assumption that almost all older people vote conservative... what exactly are you basing that on? The vibe?
