This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

They went for Trump by 2%. Calm the fuck down. Go after millennial men, we went for Trump by something like 10%.Gen X men went for Trump by 22%. And Boomers were actually better than X at 11%.

So if you want to go after someone go after Gen Z's parents.

Gen X men went for Trump by 22%

"They won't be able to ignore us, now! Now everyone will remember Generation X!"

Ugh, I hate that I laughed.

Would have been more than 11% but Trump killed a bunch of them off the first time around with COVID.

I think Harris had a 2 point lead among male voters age 18 - 29. Where is the 2% stat from, I would like to learn more (if it's convenient to share).

I see it, age by gender.

At least my Grandfather has my back in that 65+ region.

ah, maybe I had it backwards, maybe it was a 2 point lead that Trump had over Harris? Anyway, thank you so much for the link, that's really helpful!

Yeah, and aren't like half of them still too young to vote?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Most of them are old enough now. Gen A is the majority of children.

[–] SeattleRain@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gen Z is 1997-2012, so a lot of them are still in middle school and high school.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

So a 9/6 split according to that. I've also heard 1995, but regardless, the majority are of voting age.
