Dont use it myself but my kids do and they are pissed. I think we are going to have record young voters turning out because of Trumps Tik Tok ban

(153,169 posts)I don't think young folk can afford to follow the pattern of previous generations, becoming politically aware with age - I think they more than anyone have been slammed in all directions but the SOP of the Greed Over People party.

(65,061 posts)For many years, we have bemoaned the fact that generally liberal younger folks just don't vote in high proportion.
This seems like an "own goal" by PINO.
This just gave a lot of 18-24 year olds a reason to be mad enough to vote, if just to slap at the moron-in-chief.
