Fewer than 9% of eligible voters who belong to the Gen Y demographic chose to vote on November 2. This is an extraordinarily low turnout for a generation poised to replace the dominant Boomers in size and social clout.
Increasingly, Gen Y is shaping Americas cultural and economic future. But will it also shape the country's politics? Which is the anomaly: the very large Gen Y turnout for Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential election or the tiny turnout in the 2010 mid-term elections for Congress? I? The political culture of Washington is in deep conflict with Gen Y culture. Gen Y is a much more collaborative culture that deeply dislikes conflict.
Washington political culture is pretty much the opposite these days. But what about the high turnout two years ago, mostly for Obama? I don't think this is going to change in the next Presidential election or anytime soon. Which is too bad. [Image by Anosmia] Animalarium. Wallpaper: Matt Needle « From up North.
