This is a rising threat to American Democracy.

If young people actual voted all the time and understand it will take at least 4 - 8 years for the changes to occur, then things would be different.

But the young do not vote and when they do, they expect instant changes. That is not how society works. Instant changes, good or bad, only happen under a dictator who has no problem disobeying the laws.

I would take it one step further and say that instant changes are universally bad. Good ideas take time to plan and implement, and often times, the best ideas won't show off their true worth inside a single political term.

Young people might find it easier to vote if they were retired and didn't have to work on election day.

> they expect instant changes

Everyone does.

12 hours isn't enough time? https://ballotpedia.org/State_Poll_Opening_and_Closing_Times...

Why are you pretending the obvious answer isn't correct. Young people don't care.

No, I don't. If you have to go stand in line for hours in swing states to vote and you've got an 8 hour shift (plus 30-60 minute lunch) you've not got enough time. And that doesn't even count commute time to work and back, then to the polling place, nor people who have longer than 8 hour shifts.
