No, I’m not making assumptions. You did that by automatically assuming young people wouldn’t vote. I even said “whatever it is that you’re doing” in my last comment. Does that sound like an assumption to you?
I don’t care who you are. Your original attitude will not cause the younger vote to want to turn out. You are working against your interests (that is, if you want the dems to win, in which case, sure, I assumed that is what you wanted).
You seem to be missing my point. I don’t care about you enough to argue with you. You aren’t going to get young people on your side by telling them that they’re the problem. Do you not want to improve these stats you keep bringing up? Apparently not, but if you did actually care about that, you’d have more empathy and understanding rather than just saying that young people aren’t going to vote.
Then you ignorantly don’t have empathy for those that have been systematically disenfranchised by strict GOP-led voter laws, gerrymandering, and oppression. You could get angry about people voting for the GOP. You could get angry about idiots parting ways with their money to donate to super pacs. You could get angry about so many other things, but here you are, getting angry because someone online told you to have some empathy for another age group that was disenfranchised.
You are making assumptions of what I’m “doing” based on who you want me to be for some online argument. You don’t know me.

Statistics show that range is less likely to vote. It’s not saying anything other than that or making any assumptions as to why.
Statistics are trending in the other direction. Why not talk about that instead of demoralizing the young voter base any further?
Why not just supply information on the contrary, instead of carrying on with insults?
Because you like to fight more than you like to defend the young voters.
Can you point me to the insult, please?

I don’t have empathy for people who don’t vote.

… I’m not angry at all? No vote, no voice. Sad you aren’t being heard? VOTE! Frankly, I can’t think of a single reason not to vote.

Here are the percentages of 18-34 year olds who voted by year over the past 20 years:
