@argv_minus_one @barney Young people are more likely to be single-issue voters, and they’re also not a monolith. Their single issues include collectively contradictory topics such as LGBTQAI+ rights, support for Palestine, women’s rights, climate change, etc. The important questions are:
1. Can these folx be educated/persuaded to consider multiple issues before voting
2. What are the relative sizes of those subsets, and do (for example) Palestine-focused single-issue youth voters outnumber all other groups combined

I think you’re right to be concerned about the youth vote, but they’re more diverse than I think a lot of people give them credit for, and there are things we can all do to help them make nuanced, don’t-let-perfect-be-the-enemy-of-good voting decisions, rather than shallow single-issue ones.
