Question

Why do youth do not want to join politics..??

Answer 1

Because were to busy having this thing called "lives"

Maybe when were older and can't get it up anymore lol

Answer 2

Because being political isn't cool.

Answer 3

Actually, many of them do. But for those who don't, I think it's just the way that very young people think. They are usually in the now, and not the future. It is the same reason that young people are more likely to do dangerous or outrageous things. They are just thinking about today and not the consequences. As we get older, we start to consider what the future will be like for us and our children. That is when we start to realize that it does make a big difference whom we elect to office. I think the first answer on this page makes my point.

Answer 4

Wait until their lives are at stake. In the '60's we were subject to the draft, and many of us did not like the idea at all. We had an incentive to get involved.

If the draft starts gaining momentum again, you will see nearly everyone getting into politics. You get political when politics get personal.

Answer 5

Abolish war movement to die for peace has no appeal not enough courage. Cynicism.  Takes special courage and maybe they will. Green Party is of interest to Youth As it stops Global Warming.

Answer 6

Cuz they are crack heads

Answer 7

It seems to me that youth are more interested in politics than the average American.  They are also more dissolutioned with political parties than the average American.  So if you mean "join" as in "join a party," I think it is to rebel against a system that seems insincere.

Answer 8

well,from what I understand,its partially the youth vote that has put Obama in the position he"s in now.

Answer 9

2000 more people voted for Gore than Bush. Bush is president.

2004 supreme court (along with some help from Jeb Bush) gives Bush presidency.

If you keep telling these kids that their vote doesn't count then you can not complain when the fail to vote!

Answer 10

Answer 11

Historically, when the youth does join politics, they fail.  They're getting better at it though, probably thanks to the Internet.
