I would suggest that every leftist ,communist,socialist,whatever term you want to use,who is over the age of fifty,join a socialist party,where a majority of the members are under thirty.It will certainly change your perspective.It isn't so much disillusionment with voting,but with the electoral system itself.How it is rigged against independent parties and candidates,the rampant vote fraud,the antiquated electoral college,that was designed 230+ years ago,for the slave owning class.Not to mention Citizen's Unitied,and everything else that has led to our corrupt way of campaign financing.Many of these younger people would lose their cynicism about voting,if the whole system was taken out,root and all,and replaced with a more eqitable one.The momentum behind Bernie has proven this.Regardless of what you think about Bernie,and whether you beieve he was a "real" socialist,or not,the reaction of younger voters to the Sanders campaign proved younger voters could get excited about voting,and working for a candidate.Who could say where Bernie would have gotten,in 2016,had he run as an independent in a truly level playing field,without the interference from the DNC revealed by Wikileaks.Those younger voters who stuck with Bernie through 2020,saw the interference of President Obama,to essentially rig the primary process against Bernie.Is it any wonder people under 40 don't trust the electoral system.
