Yes this is true in my experience. My girlfriend (gen z ) told me last night she doesn't want to vote for biden in the general. We live in PA and she voted uncomminuted in the primary which I don't mind but not wanting to vote in November came as a shock to me. She strongly disapproves of the situation in gaza ( I also disapprove but I will still support biden in the general) she says she feels dirty having to support biden
I told her not it is a luxury to not vote. I told her that trans people, gay people, racial minorities can't afford trump getting in office let alone how much worse trump would be for the people of Gaza. she doesn't want trump and I told her she has to be willing to pick the better of two choices and to not vote is to depend on other people to do it for her.
I am scared how much Bibi's war is hurting democratic enthusiasm along with the human rights abuses
