      First of all, that’s a gross oversimplification. Second, even if it wasn’t, you’re basically saying that college aged people who live in those states either don’t matter or there’s not enough of them to possibly effect election results.

      Either way, it’s an ignorant and callous argument. Especially when you consider that college is the first chance for most people who hate living in deep red states to gtfo of there

          You JUST pointed out yourself that they wouldn’t have been able to GET an absentee ballot in and/or from certain states. Your reality-ignoring victim blaming is getting stale.

              I didn’t say that this specific thing is (necessarily) on the DNC. That doesn’t make your “young people just didn’t care enough” stereotype any less misguided, though.

              When you restrict access to voting, less voting will happen and college students are one of the most vote-restricted groups in the entire country.
