Spinoff regarding young American voters EDIT TO ADD

ETA: I want to note, this is not intended to knock young voters. It is simply intended to observe a historical pattern that should be informative.

I pointed this out in the other thread, but honestly, I think it stands alone.

For my entire adult life, I've heard from liberals regarding the young vote with the not so subtle implication that as soon as all the old people have the courtesy to die out, the left will dominate. With that in mind, I'd just like to point out a few things.

In 1992, Bill Clinton won the 18-24 year old vote by 11 points.

In 2016, those voters were age 42-48. How did Hillary do with that group of people? Hell, Obama lost that group in 2012!

Democrats have won the under 30 vote in 7 out of the last 10 elections and have NEVER lost the under 30 vote(in terms of rounded percentages). Hell, Reagan won 49 states in 1984 and tied the 18-30 vote(after losing it in 1980. That voting block is now age 54-66. How's that vote working out?

If the liberal theory that the young voting pattern was some ticket to electoral dominance were true, it would have occurred LONG before today. And, for conservatives who piss on young voters, just remember, you were one once and your patterns were not dissimilar.

It's amazing what effect what ACTUAL ADULT life experience has on voting patterns.

UPDATES:
In 1976, Carter dominated the under 30 vote. Those people are on SS now or close.

We're basically looking at a pretty damned consistent pattern.
