    I love how young people are simultaneously nonvoters who can be ignored and a vital constituency who must vote in every election even though they’ve been ignored.

        So which one is it? Are they apathetic voters who are to blame for every loss, or insignificant nonvoters who can be safely ignored?

        If it’s the former, the party should realize that its lack of action on important issues is costing them badly needed votes and behave accordingly. If the latter, the party shouldn’t blame the insignificant margins when they lose.
