out of 555 responders here

only 3 of us are under 25

and two of them barely post, especially the one who joined when they were 14 in 2014

11 total are under 36yo (less than 2%)

75% are 56yo or older

so there is pretty much only one-way traffic in terms of younger peoples' points of view

as in we are talked about, but not talked with



I have tried to get some of my age cohort to join and contribute, but as most are UK and other EU (I do know a lot of Americans, but obviously not as many as UK/EU, as I am London raised and live in Sweden now) they have shown a paucity of interest

the Americans have been overall not receptive of the board after they lurked for a bit

One did join back last summer and got swarmed and accused of being a bot within 15 posts, as he likes Michael Harriot and got into it with some on here about a Root article. He is actually (well was) a Kamala Harris supporter who I knew in real life when I was living in Los Angeles for a couple years, and is so not a troll type, he is just very afro-centric (he is mixed race part black like me) and outspoken, so rubbed some the wrong way I suppose. He stopped logging and told me to never recco a political chatboard again, lolololol.
