Reply to comment by Left_Labral_Tear in Young voters are so important by mooscaretaker

You talk about anxiety in the future and do nothing to address it. You have 1 voice and have chosen not to use it. There are 3rd party candidates and occasionally some of them make really good arguments. But what exactly are you looking for? You also realize that no candidate will be 100% perfect, kind of like life itself.

I used my vote in the primaries, my candidate didn’t advance. I recognize neither candidate will meet my exact views and there will be concessions that must be made.

It's your choice. There are more than one elections happening. You could make a difference in any one of those. You could also ask candidates where they stand on your issue. By not voting even if your preferred candidate didn't advance, you're losing your chance to demand change. I say this as someone in my 60s. I just don't understand why you would allow us older people to dictate your future
