Young people have historically failed to participate in the election process - fower young people vote than those of other

age groups. Why do you think this occurs and how does this negatively impact democracy in the US? Write a paragraph of

at least 5 sentences.

Scientists explain the estrangement of youth from politics, as well as political absenteeism by the following factors:

The first factor - society itself is the reason for the decline in the activity of the young generation and the development of political exclusion in the youth environment. The second factor - the interests of young people are currently focused on the problems of maintaining their existence and survival in modern conditions. The third factor is that young people, on the one hand, do not see the need to radically change anything in the current way of life, and on the other, they do not consider political activity as meaningful for themselves, finding more promising ways and areas of self-affirmation and personal self-realization.

Millennials are full of reasons to push for political change. But the "youth wave" is still a myth. As a result of this, power is chosen not by young and creative people, but by the average majority living 'by yesterday and today.'
