Yes, I think we can agree on that, because the difference is stark enough and the party that needs throwing out has not been shy or hid their words about what they want and how they want to achieve it this time. But there's a lot of people that see those things happening and look at their context and think their vote won't matter compared to all the people around them that support those terrible policies.

I wonder whether it would be more effective if voting were encouraged in the same idea as "As you pray, move your feet." Yes, vote, but don't expect voting to be your single solution. Then it might get more young people in by making a vote part of a solution that also involves activism and direct work and the other things younger people are often engaged in.
