Young Voters Revolting Against the Old Guard: Are We Losing Them Forever?
***Please Subscribe to www.worthknowing.substack.com*** One of the hottest conversations in politics, especially for Democrats, is what the heck is happening with young voters, who shifted dramatically toward Trump in 2024. Obama and Biden campaign veteran Amanda Litman has been working with younger voters and candidates for years with her breakthrough organization Run for Something. Now, she says there's a deeper problem in America that's become ingrained in how we work, live, and even how we run political campaigns. In her new book "When We're in Charge: The Next Generation’s Guide to Leadership" takes a look at how younger leaders can break through and change some of the most broken aspects of working and living in the U.S. Host Matt Robison of the Worth Knowing Substack (https://worthknowing.substack.com/) and Amanda talk about burnout, taking back America from Trump from the bottom up, and what the next ten years will look like as the next generation starts to take over. 00:14 The Puzzle of Younger Voters in American Politics08:05 Amanda Litman on Leadership and Authenticity22:57 Challenges and Opportunities for the Democratic Party32:34 The Crux of the Question: Are We Losing Young Voters?44:54 The Role of Government and the Concept of Abundance53:15 The Power of Local Government and Nonpartisan Elections57:45 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
