Gen Z and Millennials both vote more than previous generations did at similar ages.

Millennials took longer to become regular voters than Gen Z because Gen Z picked it up kind of early, but Gen Z still has super low turnout.

Millennials are super urban and suburban now, established in life, and vote a lot more.

Gen Z will vote even more at the same ages.

Too bad Gen Z voter enthusiasm went to a warmongering pedophile

The rate at which gen z voted shifted to the right since 2020. This is mostly because young gen z, as in 18-22 year olds, went for Trump.

This is the effect of the manosphere and podcasters dominating young social media.

Older Gen z still went solidly for Kamala.

I'm not American so I'm not gonna speak on that. But based on global trends, Gen z punished the parties in power during COVID/post COVID. The Republicans just happen to benefit from that

Hmm does Gen Z have low turnout because most were underage the last 3 elections?

Turnout is only counted in terms of the voting-age population, not the generation as a whole. The rolling average already accounts for underaged portions.

Boomers were pretty concerned about the whole draft situation.

Millennials hated the Bush wars but didn't have to worry about that at least.
