Young Voters and Why a Higher Percentage of Apathy

The lack of young voters is of great concern to the democratic systems of the United States and other countries. As this important part of the democratic practice, the research continues to understand why young people tend to relax. In view of this continuing problem, solutions have been proposed for involving young people (mainly in their early twenties) in this democratic practice. Since this is a topic of great interest in many countries, many authors are writing about why it is a teenager's tendency and provide a solution to end this indifference I will.

Politics is a dichotomy. Politicians are much easier to influence their first voter than to persuade young people to change their voting rights to a 60-year-old faithful voter. This indifference is not absolute, but there are people who are willing to pay more attention to the similarity between Julia Giral and Ronald McDonald. As a "political hierarchy", as a "leader of tomorrow", young people are prohibited from being a "leader of the day" in fact and emphasize that adults should be given politics. Many people do not spend time locked in the endless spiral of Tumblr and not all teenagers spend the time to play "Call of Duty". Many people who touch the political system, choose socially conscious people, and try to raise their voice by means of words.

It has been promoted as a symbol of democracy, but political liberation is a new normal situation, and individuals may not feel their opinions are being heard in public opinion. The voter's indifference is high and there are many campaigns to increase the voter turnout rate in the election elected years. Even in the case of a relatively high voter turnout rate like the 2016 Brexit referendum, politicians who promised to be supported by young voters will also strengthen their withdrawal and contempt. For example, the promise of freedom from the EU, the extra surplus of public services, and the end of the flow of free labor, the promise of the British Brexit to leave the party will soon be revealed. What is left is intense anger and distrust over lies to gain favorable votes.

In the past four years, the political gap between young voters has expanded. Since 2004, the democratic identity of voters under the age of 30 has risen by 8 percentage points, but the Republican identity has declined by 9 percentage points. The proportion of young voters who refused to agree with either major parties was stable at 29%. In 2000, young voters were divided equally among the two political parties. Democrats accounted for 36%, Republicans accounted for 35%. It is noteworthy that in 2000, young voters were actually fewer than democratic voters of the old voters. For example, the voter over 65 is four points higher than the youngest voter of the Democratic Party.
