Ok. Then we are talking about the same group. What I’m trying to communicate is that young people, who overwhelmingly identify as liberal/left/progressive are participating less in elections. The other thread I’m responding to has all the Pew research numbers but if you’d like I can pull them here as well. If a large percentage of your electorate is absent from voting, don’t expect policy to change any time soon.

The numbers tell us that for the majority, that’s the case. Do you have numbers that show otherwise?

When you say “liberal”, do you intend as something different than “left”? I just want to make sure I understand your labels. Thanks.

I understand now what you mean. Yes, hopefully that translates into a more political participation as they age as well.
