A Bastard from a Basket

We are now gaining some insight from the autopsy of the unusual midterm elections. It should come as no surprise that many of those voting were immune from Biden's radical policies which shook the nation for 2 years. The answer has begun to flow from many quarters now and it seems that generation Z has had a major impact in most likely the last few elections. You'll pardon me for the title I used, but I think that Daniel Plainview has accurately provided me with the proper name for the young mobilized morons who have turned their backs on their own people for the poison that polluted their impressionable young minds.
Here is a bit of inquiry from Rutgers:
What role do you think Gen Z voters played in the midterm election results?
Generation Z was definitely a factor in the election and one the pundits might not have anticipated. With each year, Gen Z (born between 1997-2012) will have increasing influence on election outcomes at the local, state and national levels. As the purpose generation, Gen Z is focused on societal issues such as the environment and women's rights. Following the 2022 midterm elections, media reports indicate that members of Gen Z took their role as the purpose generation seriously by exercising their right to vote.
Annually for the next decade, tens of thousands of Gen Z citizens across the United States will vote for the first time. The 2022 election represents the seventh class of new Gen Z voters who turned 18. The oldest members of this cohort voted for the first time in 2015.
Did the polls miss this group? Do polls usually capture Gen Z and millennial voters?
Pollsters, like those who are buying and placing advertising for candidates for office, may not be engaging Gen Z effectively because their media and content consumption is unprecedented. Unlike older consumer segments including baby boomers, Gen X and even millennials, Generation Z does not regularly view network and cable television. They turn to relatively new channels such as TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, BeReal and Discord for news, information and research. In future elections, pollsters, as well as candidates running for office and their parties, will need to engage Gen Z on their preferred media and content channels if they want to understand the issues that are most important to this cohort and what issues are influencing the candidate they anticipate voting for.
When did Gen Z voters start having a significant voice in elections?
The oldest members of Gen Z were ages 18-23 at the time of the 2020 presidential election. For the majority of the senior members of this cohort, it was the first time they were eligible to vote. According to an NBC poll , Gen Z voted for Biden more than any other age demographic. That same poll attributes Gen Z votes in states including Georgia and Pennsylvania to contributing to Biden's success in those states. The milestone events of 2020, including the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter awakening, coupled with the fact that more young voters were eligible to vote, contributed to Gen Z playing a factor in the 2020 election.
What are the issues that are important to this group?
Gen Z is the purpose generation. Gen Z is also the most diverse and inclusive generation. They are focused on supporting corporations, brands, organizations and individuals running for office that have the ability, influence and power to contribute to a better world, nation and community. With that, Gen Z takes great interest in societal issues including the environment, women's rights, diversity and inclusion, mental health and LGBTQ+.
Do you know when Gen Z is expected to become the majority of the electorate?
With each passing year, tens of thousands of members of Gen Z become eligible voters. The voting influence of this cohort will increase annually each and every year through 2030 when the youngest members of Generation Z turn 18. This generation's voting influence will increase as they age, purchase homes and start families. Political parties and their future candidates for office should be prioritizing effectively engaging Gen Z voters starting now as this consumer segment will significantly influence future elections for many years.

The post election report:
In the context of the 2022 midterms, this meant taking a stance on issues such as systemic racism and reproductive rights.
While Zoomers, millennials, Gen Xers and baby boomers generally agreed that it was important to safeguard the rights of
vulnerable populations, Zoomers were particularly moved to vote by these concerns.
78% of Zoomers thought that it was important to address systemic racism, as compared to only 60% of baby boomers.
Gen Z was the only generational cohort to rank abortion and reproductive rights (29%) as the political issue they were most
concerned about when casting their ballot in the 2022 midterm, followed by the economy and inflation (12% combined).
Compared to only 18% of millennials, 13% of Gen Xers and 8% of baby boomers who ranked abortion and reproductive
rights as the political issue they were most concerned about when voting.

Gen Z voters overwhelmingly supported Democrats over Republicans in the midterms by 27 points — and prioritized protecting abortion access by a higher amount than any other generation, according to Social Sphere's survey data.

And from Pew Research:
Generations X, Y and Z voters cast more ballots than Boomers and older generations in the 2018 midterm elections, according to analysis from the Pew Research Center .
Gen X, Y, Z voters outnumbered Boomers and others in 2018 midterms - ABC News (go.com)
So, this new information helps explain some of the strange results we have been seeing.
Somebody please tell Ronna McDaniel.
I'm glad I won't be around as America becomes Oceania.

Be careful with your pronouns!
me too and we won't.
We are already there.
what exactly do you have against Oceania ?
You know John, it's those thought crimes, which tend to be so hard to define.
So you cant put it into words. Why should anyone care then?
Here is a word for you: race. That is not part of the topic here.

All I'm asking you to do is explain the meaning of your article. Evidently you cant do that.
I can't figure it out either. But the tag "The New Stupid" seems to apply.
Somehow Vic becomes shy when he is asked to explain his writings.
Not to worry, the Gilead boyz will put a stop to it .../s
I'll give you one guess who I was thinking of.
Just explain what your article is about. Too many Gen Z voters, a movie from 2007, Oceania ?
That is what the article is about but he is tongue tied as to explaining why.
I think it is that Generation Z is going to help ensure a lot of Democratic wins in the future?
I'm really not sure. It's quite bizarre. Really out there.

Still thinking of race?
Is this a day ending in "Y"?

Wasn't the southern third of Africa part of Oceania?
"I think that Daniel Plainview has accurately provided me with the young mobilized morons who have turned their backs on their own people for the poison that polluted their impressionable young minds."
Nothing like a spasm of insults to change their minds ...
A mind?
A mind would indicate a brain.

I stopped reading after that bit of brilliance. . .
Maybe Gen Z will like being a member of a third world country.
Corporations and the rich will take their money and jobs elsewhere; and Gen Z can make the "woke" paradise of non working, self entitled, elitists they so desire.
At least someone is willing to explain the article - "shithole countries'.
They aren't even safe in San Francisco.
When the rich start getting murdered, they can leave to their safe areas and everyone else will have to live by the policies they inflicted on the plebes.
