Some snark for you:
Dear concerned unimportant demographics,
Thanks for the concern. We really appreciate it. Since 1972 there has been a clear downward trend with young people voting. A funny thing happened though. In 2004 young people started getting involved in politics again and frankly in a big way, even better we were overwhelmingly progressive. I mean we even put away our Xboxes and got off our internets for it, what with all the googling and yahooing and Myspacing (I forgot that was thing). We really thought it was a lot of fun. We got to go out and support candidates that didn't quite support the stuff we did, you remember civil unions (of course you do most of the candidates you put up now still barely support them) but we showed up, almost put Kerry in the White House.
In 2006 we led the way and put Dems back in and well we all know what happened in 2008. If you guys hadn’t have gone nuts and started packing heat and getting all racist and thinking we were living out Red Dawn (I saw that once on Netflix…what…oh it’s this thing… like… what was it, oh yeah, blockbuster, it’s like that but it’s on the internet… no there isn’t a building, seriously ask your kids, they’ll help you with it) and if we hadn’t been all, you know, trying to find jobs and pay off the mountain of debt we were under we would have come out then too. We did show up, just not all 2008-ey. Yeah that was our bad, but you folks really had us a little nervous, man. The most fun thing about election season is that every time we get involved we get to listen to the people responsible for that downward trend we mentioned earlier, applying it to us.
Look, we think it’s really cute that you guys are finally voting and we really don’t mind your doddering old minds suffering from selective memory loss, that’s why most of the time we just smile politely and ignore you and then toss you an Activia.
Here, here you go.
Take it.
Fruits on the bottom, we promise.
Anyway, we just wanted to thank you for your concern. We get it, we got it a lot sooner then you guys did. Elections are important. We’ll see you at the polls, take it easy with that yogurt guys.
Sincerely,
The youth vote
P.S.
Don't be condescending dicks, thanks.
