Millennials & Gen Z Voters Hold All The Power In 2020 Election

37% of the American electorate will be made up of members of Generation Z and the Millennial generation in the 2020 election. Combined, these two hold a substantial piece of the voting pie, and therefore hold more power than even they realize. Getting this group active, energized, and engaged is the key to victory in 2020, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

You know, I have said this a lot, pretty much since the 2016 election, I said a lot in the run up to the 2018 midterms and I'm probably going to say it a lot in the run up to the 2020 presidential election, and that is this millennials and the generation behind them now that is coming of voting age Generation Z, they hold so much power in our electoral process and I don't think they understand just how much power they have according to the latest, uh, numbers here in 20, 20, those two generations, the two youngest millennials and Gen Z, they will make up 37 percent of the voting population here in the United States. Thirty seven percent. That percentage is enough to swing an election in any way. Those young Americans choose to take it. And here's the best part. These generations are more diverse than their predecessors.

There are more open-minded. They're more likely to believe that the government should be doing more to help American citizens. And they don't mind if we tax the wealthy to pay for things that we desperately need here in the United States. They understand that the job market actually does suck. Yeah, we might be adding 200,000 jobs a month, but those aren't jobs that are going to pay a living wage. Those aren't jobs that are going to turn into careers. Those aren't jobs that provide the opportunity for advancement there. Jobs that get you by for the time being, but they're not sustainable in this generation, understands that. They understand that in a way that the previous generations didn't even have to understand it. They're angry, they've been screwed over there. The ones who will deal with climate change for their entire existence, the effects of it, that is from the day they were born.

We were feeling the effects here in the United States and all over the globe, and that is a very real problem that they take seriously. Even those in those generations who lean to the right, they understand we have to do something about it. They don't deny the science. They understand it. So as a whole, these generations are far more liberal. Even when they identify as conservatives. Now, it's important to point out that these two generations will not make up the largest voting block that actually will be the baby boomers. However, the silent generation, which is the oldest generation alive today, their numbers have dwindled to the point where a Gen Z, the youngest actually will outnumber them, and that's how it's going to go for quite a while. Now. The silent generation will continue to shrink. Generation Z will continue to grow and as they their power is going to increase.
