Those memes are just contributing to the issue of young people skipping the elections, and then complaining about our leaders being stupid
Well, then maybe the Democrats should fix that, by putting out candidates that young people actually want to vote for.
There are too little young voters to make it a viable strategy for either side
Based on that logic, it sounds like there are too few young voters to worry about memes stopping them from voting.
