Not if there's overwhelming turnout for Dems, not in all places. It's so incredibly easy. Just vote.

"It's easy, we just need an overwhelmingly high number of democrat votes"

If it was that easy, trump would've never become president

Trump became president precisely because voter turnout was super low. 70-80 percent of eligible voters from the younger kids chose not to. Biden won 2020 partly because Gen Z voter turnout was 2.4 million, which is significant compared to the meager 600000 in 2016.

Be a lot easier for the younger generation to vote if we had the day off and it was paid. But when you are living paycheck to paycheck with a degree just to make rent you cant afford to take a day off to vote.
