You're misreading me. "Young people" means people who are young at a given time. This isn't about 1 specific generation, much less the current one.

It's every generation and nothing's really going to change until that 18-24 voting bloc shows up and forces it to change going forward. Each successive one is a little screwed by the previous one.

If that 18-24 year old group started showing up at the 75% rate that senior citizens showed up at, it'd take exactly 1 election cycle to break that trend.
