Only group of men that voted for Kamala over Trump.

I'm hopeful that it was only by a point so hopefully some sense gets knocked into then by the time they're 45

I was born in the wrong generation.

I fit into that group, and I have a really, really difficult time believing that number to be true.

Can’t imagine it, actually. Anecdotally, we have been the most fed up.

I'm a Millennial. Unfortunately this does not surprise. When you have a whole generation growing up on reddit this is what happens.

Probably depends on where you live more than anything.

The only dudes who probably needed the reverse of that Julia Roberts ad about women having to lie to their men about voting for Kamala.

You must be on the upper end of the millennial age range like I am. Everyone I know that's a similar age (upper end of the millennials) is Republican. Even the minorities within that older age range were either R leaning or fed up with Biden/Harris.

It's the younger millennials that are dragging us down.

I'd imagine the older millennials like me that were born in the 80s are a lot different than the ones born in the mid 90s. I've always felt a lot more like a Gen Xer than a millennial. I hit puberty and was trying to get laid before 9/11 and was used to trips to the video store and riding bikes as a kid with my friends in the 90s all day with no adult supervision or phone surveillance. Millennials born in like 95 or 96 were still trying to put together full sentences while I was doing all that. By the time they hit puberty the iphone and facebook was out

I am in that group, as well. Never met a single Harris voter.

The first iPhone came out in 2007, by that time us older millennials were either in college or fresh out. We didn't grow up with smart phones and social media in high school like the younger millennials did, and this (to me) is what makes the huge difference in the cutoff.

Plus having a full childhood in the 90s vs the 2000s. The millennials should really be split into two separate groups, because the upper end is much much different than the lower

I’m a millennial. And hell no I didn’t vote for that woman.

I don't normally buy into the generational BS. But that ain't a good look!

Millennial here and voted for DJT. However, I know several dudes who said they “voted” Harris to keep the peace at home.

I’m a young millennial and associate with a lot of zoomers. One thing for sure I see in the metrics that I completely can attest to firsthand is that Gen Z is more conservative than Milennials which is great for the future. My generation is the worst. Plenty of my friends and wife’s friends are clueless.

Hopefully young people continue waking up.

We were in college during the 08 financial crisis, spent the early part of our careers under Obama, saw the first glimmer of true upward mobility under Trump, then 4 years of the most catastrophic presidency in our lifetimes. We watched as our savings dwindled away due to high inflation caused out of control government spending. We witnessed the trans insanity came out of nowhere, and saw the left turn into full on Marxists.

How any millennial could vote for the Democratic Party is beyond me.

As a mid 90s-born Millennial, early 2000s kid culture wasn't that much different from that of the late 80s and 90s. Console gaming, high-quality kids' TV shows, etc. Sure we had the internet and y'all didn't, but it was Web 1.0. The internet was simply another facet of our childhoods rather than being ubiquitous like it was today.

Even when we were in high school, smartphones existed, but they weren't ubiquitous until the mid-2010s.

I wonder what voter turnout in that cohort was.
