    I’m not, because I voted for Harris. That doesn’t mean I don’t understand why Gen Zs refused. I think they have a good point.

    They also felt betrayed about student loans, which is one of the biggest looming time bombs in American society. It is only a matter of time before the student loan crisis collapses our economy, and NOBODY is bothering to deal with it at all.

    Gen Zs are going to inherit this country that is being destroyed right before their eyes. Rather than disparaging them, perhaps you should try to understand the sources of their despair. They’ll vote if it feels like it will make a difference to anyone other than those who are exploiting them.

      Student loans affect mostly the people with higher education, which have higher incomes. Student loan forgiveness is a handout to the well to do. We already have tools to help poor people. How about we just cut payroll taxes that are regressive and affect poor people the most?
