My kids showed up! THEY DON’T LISTEN TO MOM, BUT THEY LISTEN TO BEAU!!!! 🙏💜🙏
Can't help but be tickled by your comment! 😄
❤❤❤
Could be worse, Mom, could be worse….😉👏🏻
Beau, my son turned 18 on November 2nd, and the first thing he did was register to vote. He and his friends are excited about voting in the general election in 2024. The young people are fired up and I love it!
That is great to hear! It gives me a bit of hope for the future of this country and humanity in general. I hope that many more are driven to vote and change this country for the better!
Wonderful to hear! Have them all commit to bringing 5 friends when they go vote in 2024! We need to turn out as many young people as we can. They will shape the future for themselves! The them to pay attention to the local elections too. They count so much, if not more than presidential elections.
Music to my ears! It's been a long time coming.
So good to hear this!! My kid is only 4 but I’m already so excited for them to be able to vote, and I hope they’re as stoked about it as your son and friends!
STOP THE STEEL!!!! 😡 🇺🇸
My 18 voted for the 1st time this year. I told him it was a non-negotiable. "People don't want you to vote but you will." He'd been hearing that from me for years. I worked at voting district yesterday again. We were so happy to see young folks show up!! Not enough but some. It's going to grow.
@@sdwaff 👏🏽👏🏽
Gen Z is showing up to vote for the future they want for themselves.
I also worked at the polling station. It was so good to see young people showing up, including mothers/daughters. It may not have ended in Iowa as I had really hoped but it was close enough that it should (hopefully) open some eyes.
My kids (19 and 22) voted with me. My son didn't want to go alone, so we all went together.
@@sdwaff I just love when Mom's Teach and Inspire their Children!! Way to go Mom.❤❤❤
I had a conversation with a coworker who is a hard core Republican yesterday. Almost immediately he went to the “what have the Democrats given you?” I had to remind him I’m an independent, however it’s not about what the Dems gave me it’s about what the Republicans took from me. My bodily autonomy. So you’re right Beau I didn’t vote FOR Dems I voted AGAINST Republicans.
THANK YOU! I get so tired of reminding people that the average American doesn't know how to friggin count. Despite what the news keeps trying to scare people with we ALWAYS have more than one of two choices. And there is no such thing as "throwing a vote away" by voting or registering other than the two parties that repeatedly show you they are incompetent.
The dems took bodily autonomy away when some states pushed vaccine mandates that cost people their jobs. They are no different than the republicans.
@Kyler Markle I got my vaccination as soon as I could. I'm just against it being mandated. Same reason I'm against the reversal of roe v wade. If you're against one and not the other you're just a hypocrite.
@Kyler Markle I absolutely understand a communicable diseases, but since I'm vaccinated I have no fear of the unvaccinated. There is no reason to fear them. I'm around them quite often due to my job. I haven't had any problems for close to two years now. Jeez, you sound just as delusional as the republicans.
Liberals have given this country everything. Conservatives were in the way every time. These are the facts.
I am SO proud of "those lazy kids", I knew they could do it AND THEY DID. Keep it up, keep voting for YOUR best interest!
Last night's election results demonstrated one thing to me - America isn't buying 'the big lie.'
Well, at least half of the voters aren’t buying it.
I think the closeness of the wins are concerning. So, we have a lot of work to do, but it’s nice to see that the “big lie” isn’t a widespread problem.
Well, true patriotic and smart Americans aren't buying it.
I'm still appalled that it was this close and so many voters STILL believe and promote all the lies. I hope Beau is right about eventually eradicating maga. 💙
@@Andrea.1tree And it's also good to see the younger voters turn out. I hope they keep THEIR wave going; if they do, the Republicans, as they now are, don't stand a chance.
Thank you Gen Z. Saving the future because nobody else will
You hit the nail on the head, sir. I was a Republican when I left for college in 2003…graduated with a degree in political science and became utterly disgusted with politics. But there was one MAJOR thing that began to eat at me…supply side economics. The failed economic policy that republicans keep shoving down our throats that has led to the largest divide between the rich and poor in human history. Im an independent now. When I go to vote I find that R by someone’s name and I vote against them. Every. Single. Time. If republicans abandon trickle down, admit they were wrong, and apologize for effectively destroying economic equality….independents, like me, might give them a fair shake.
But let’s be honest… that’s never gonna happen.
I found it so ironic that exit polls showed most Republican voters listed 'inflation' as their primary concern.
Education could really help a lot.
N Hurley - you hit the nail on the head too. That is exactly why the Reps kept shoving that theory down our throats - to make THEM the richest on top of that divide. The only policy that would really work is "trickle UP" economics - giving to the poor and working classes, who spend it immediately on food, shelter and clothing, thus automatically creating new wealth for the owners of businesses. Actually simple, when you think about it.
Don't forget the Reagan Revolution stripping civics from public education or union busting.
@@daleainsley9695 ... or Fox "News".
@@barrywassel3899 yep. Most of us learn this early in education but if you look around the US you often don’t see any basic economics or economic theory classes offered.
I was at my county fairgrounds (voting site) bright and early, 30 mins before it was open to vote. It happens to be right next to a high school. I was listening to two of the greeters chat about what happened the day before, where they got swamped with High School seniors wanting to register and to vote. Was inspiring.
Wipes away tear of pride
don’t forget that conservatism is seen as a forbidden fruit similar to cannabis now. It’s the new rock and roll
Love hearing this 👏👏
Thanks for sharing! This is wonderful news!
"...the young people showed up."
My 19 years old son voted for the very first time last night. He was one of quite a few young folks I spotted. I couldn't be more proud.
I've said for many many years that my kids' generation will be the one to change the world. It's so very good to see that belief begin to show fruit. 💕
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
I noticed that there were many young people voting and it was refreshing.
Whoot! 👏👏👏👏
My daughter is 17. She can't wait to vote and even my 13 and 10 year olds were so upset that Tim Ryan lost here, my youngest cried. I've also been saying the same- our kids will change the world for the better!! 💙💙💙
That's great ! 👍
Beau always gives credit where credit is due. _This_ is the message young voters need to hear, that we see them and we celebrate them taking hold of the reins to steer this country in a better direction.
Can we get Beau's channel 'publicised' more on forums, etc that younger voters are more likely to see?
Too bad not enough cared to lead dems to a *SUPERMAJORITY* in both houses, rather than the reality that we lost both. That's a huge loss.
I watched the young voters in PA rally w Bernie. They made me proud and I feel very comfortable for them to make a decision for me. Well informed and voting.
Amen. In my most despairing moments over the last 3-5 years sometimes my only hope has been that "the old white men" in Washing will be gone and a new generation - my grandchildren - will sweep in and bring harmony, peace, prosperity to all. Opportunity for everyone. Justice for everyone, and hate and meanness will fade and again be 'shamed' and unacceptable. Yay young voters.
Black people turned out 85% for Democrats. Y'all need to stop overlooking the one group that consistently been acting right at the polls.
Yes, the younguns showed and showed out. No question. But we've traditionally been the ones that showed up and got it right at the ballot.
Thank you.
as a 72 year old, voter....who lived through the 1960s....all of this red wave was all too familiar, their stance against all we fought for in the 60s was not going to be erased by this mid-term election. I voted straight BLUE.
Two of my kids got to vote for the first time yesterday. They both got inundated with Republican fear tactic ads on social media, many of them anti-trans. They were utterly repulsed, and repelled, by the attitudes espoused in them. It was a proud day in NC, watching these progressive young ladies engage in the process and cast their votes. :)
They'll be even prouder when they're eating tree bark

It’s it wonderful when your children vote the first time, their excitement and enthusiasm (I am reminded of my oldest voting the first time)
It is Incredible
Remember this day and look back fondly, I do!!
Thank you, Beau. This gives me hope for the future. My youngest turns 18 in March and she (like others waiting to vote) are PISSED.
My 3 daughters, 25, 23, 20 all voted. They did in the last election also. You are correct: they are Pissed.
Here’s to the young people! Keep it up. We need you.
@@ironsausage808 do you think gen z is mostly republican or something? I have bad news lol
My 19 year old son was motivated to vote against the atrocious ads from the right. The night before election day he was asking me what his friends who never voted before needed to bring to the polls for same day registration. My 22 year old daughter brought her infant to the polls. Young people showed up.
And we’re still going to lose the House and very possibly the Senate. If young people came out in droves, then where were the rest of us Democrats? We’re the majority, yet we couldn’t hold on to blue seats. WTH?
Proud of them. & you. I almost had to bribe my 24 year old daughter to vote yet she sees me watching msnbc & independent news all the time ((since 2015)
My 24 year old son helped two of his friends that never voted to get registered and vote this year
@@bigguyonalittleadventure5673 Amen. My question exactly. See my comment above, for my thought on this
@@bigguyonalittleadventure5673 Tbf, Republican gerrymandering is to a psychotic degree, and historically midterms turn to the other side super hard. What we have accomplished in the moment might not feel like we made a serious positive change, but this bought us time and knowledge.
The Republican party is on the verge of fracturing over who their golden boy is, and there are Republican pundits on social media saying that we need to up the age of voters to 21 or even 28.
Make no mistake, they are TERRIFIED at this turn of events.
I am 21 year gen z who lives in new york. I was the only one in my family who decided to vote. I even early voted on a friday despite my family being registered democrats to vote. I managed to convince my mom to take a vote thanks to her friends but it took me so much effort to do. But i will not hesitate to vote again even if i am the only one who does in my family.
I'm Scottish, lived in the US for a few years until recently & have a lot of family there.
I honestly think voting should be mandatory (as long as it's possible), like in Australia. Until that time, I encourage anyone/ everyone to do what they can to get family & friends to vote.
I made (literally) my sister come with me to vote in her first election when we lived together when at university. She wasn't particularly engaged, but we're now in our 30s & she votes & has become more engaged over time.
During my time in the US, her husband was my registered proxy voter here (we can legally designate a person in the same district to vote for us if we have specific reasons we are unable to attend the polling station). He wasn't always as engaged as my sister either - having him vote for me meant he definitely always voted too.
Over time, people do get more engaged when they start younger.
I actually find my parents are harder to convince re the importance of voting, although a lot of that is because the parties they may previously have supported have changed a lot. We have multiple options here too, which makes it easier to align with a party... still. I'd rather vote for the ones closest to my personal philosophies than sit it out.
I don't really care if I merely annoy people into voting!
(Although I will never tell anyone who to vote for, but I'll always encourage anyone to vote.)
Good luck in future!
Good job. You probably don't need it, but you have folks here who have your back :)
@@sebastianmarquez3014 I appreciate that. Its so hard to be positive at times. I honestly felt like my vote doesnt matter so i shouldnt vote but if i had that mentality, it would have inspired other people to adopt it too. i didnt want to make people inherit such a negative herd thinking.
Nice job. And never forget, it's very important to vote with your heart
@@angelozikantas484
I'm just genuinely curious how you mean your comment to be interpreted..? I would say it's more important to vote with your head wrt politics.
Heart could mean being true to your beliefs or going with emotion.
Just asking, bc of fxcking Brexit, where too many people did not use their head(/brain) and just went on an anti-EU/ British pride 'feeling'.
Ditto with the Scottish independence referendum 2 years earlier.
Neither campaign had good plans that could be supported with evidence, but people voted entirely 'from the heart' in many cases. It hasn't proven to be a very sensible move... But many meanings easily get lost in 'translation' across the web, so I'm just curious as to what you really mean. ✌🏽
Brand new poll worker in Ruby red OKC. I helped so many young people vote yesterday. Goth, pierced, queer and voting at midterms!!!!! And virgin voters!!! We had about 12, and the whole precinct would burst into applause, it was awesome. 🎉🎉🎉
kim thomas, Awesome !! from this lower case boomer !!!
That’s an amazing experience! What a great bonding experience with the community. Especially including normally ostracized young people. One party divides, and the other brings together. 😊
This makes my heart so happy!!
Nice!
Because previously those people could not vote 🙄🙄🙄
Beau: As a Poll worker in ME, I saw Parents teaching their teens the voting process. And for the 3 years I been doing this -- yeah, the kids came out.
🗽
You're awesome vh!
We always took our kid when he was younger so he could see how the whole process worked and understand it was something we did. He can't wait until he's 18. (Not this year, but he'll be voting in 2024.)
I'm a poll worker in NV and also saw tons of new voters, not just the young, but some old timers who'd never voted before. It was awesome. And after working a 16 hour day Tuesday, it'll all be worth it if Dems hold the line and trumpism is defeated.
I've been taking my kiddo since she was 5. I want her to understand how voting affects not just her, but everyone.
Im disappointed about how close the races were ....but I'll take the wins with gratitude and motivation to work on 2024.
Well look how strongly the GOP told us that they were gonna cheat.
Considering that PotUS party tends to lose 30-60 seats in the house during midterms, and current inflation, gas prices, maybe losing a few seats outperforms expectations.
Your right T Perk. We need focus on our 2024 Endgame because you can bet Republicans will.
@@melissalayson7275 Yes. They will REALLY be upset and angry that once again, their promised "wave" fizzled to nothing. The young voters made the difference here; I hope it encourages them enough to keep *their* wave going in 2024.
I'm shocked how tight the Warnock-Walker and Fetterman-Oz races are, especially Warnock. Really brings the moral standing of people who voted Walker into question.
as a young person and thus unlikely voter, this was something i needed to hear - just the acknowledgement that again that we can actually do something and that it will be worth something
You young people are my last hope.
We do have some power left. This proves that your vote really does count. It matters.
A paradox of our time is for many challenges of the world people over-estimate what it takes to make a difference while simultaneously under-estimating what they can do to make that same difference. You and the rest of your young cohort are much more bad@$$ than you realize :) Well done on voting!
It's your time your hour to stand in your own power.glad you are standing!!
I was woke up by a heavy thunderstorm. The rain was tremendous and frightening, ends up it was just Republicans crying.🥵
Haha
Nice🤣

I enjoy your posts, thanks for the laugh😂
@@ricklichau9176 I'd appreciated it, thanx and you've a great Wednesday.
Im in Illinois, pretty blue here in town,but surrounded by miles and miles of MAGA rural area...100% of our high school had a 3 day walk out to defend one girls right to wear her hijab...these kids will almost all be registered in 2024....there is hope for the future after all.....
I'm so impressed with young people lately, the level of activism and involvement is something I really wished my generation had achieved. Punk rock didn't live up to what I'd hoped that it could be; but to all my Gen Z people, you did. Thank you, you're making your parent's generation proud.
My generation "achieved" that level of activism and made huge changes, but the thanks we get in our old age is to be reviled. Screw it!
If you are a gen x'er, know that your punk was instrumental in educating millennials like me who absorbed the Dead Kennedys and Bad Religion and the like as if it were a text book. And the lesson wasn't dogma, but that they didn't have answers just questions for me to ask myself
I feel the same way. I was politically aware from a young age, and as a member of the class of 2000, it was always so damned disheartening to hear anything that rhymed with "You can't fight city hall". My generation was characterized by selfish non-involvement, but it didn't have to be that way. I'm so damn proud of all of these younger people standing up for themselves! I wish it had been us, but I'm glad it's finally someone.
@@auntiebobbolink I mean, if you're a boomer, it's because your generation turned its back on every better instinct it had in its youth. You went from hippy freedom to Reagan Fascism without absolutely no guns to your head what so ever. There's never been a bigger generation of selfish turn coats in the history of mankind. Pardon the holy blue fuck out of me, but no, SCREW YOU. YOU did this to you. Not my generation. It's DAMN SURE not these kids' fault.
@@matthewlawton9241 class of 2001, agreed
I tried to get a young relative of mine to vote for many years. I always got the same reply: "Too much hassle, my vote doesn't count, one vote doesn't mean anything, etc., etc.".
Then they lived through four years of Trump, watching and learning.
They couldn't get to the ballot box fast enough this time around.
As you so correctly state, Beau: by 2024, there will be even more young voters champing at the bit to cast their vote, just like my young relative.
Thank you, young people. I so appreciate your interest and involvement. ☮️❤️🙂🇺🇲
The ones who so often get dismissed in the polls because "they never vote anyway."
And isn't it ironic that some voters didn't vote FOR the Dems so much as they voted AGAINST the GOP, because of its rabidly hate-filled stances. I wonder how many of those will stick with the Dems after this.
It is their future afterall
Amen to that! ❤💯
trust us, we do too 💜.
the least I can do to ensure a future i want to grow old in
I'm a sixty-ish former Republican, and I am so damned proud of our young folks. Last night they did something that my quarter-century on active duty could not do: they thwarted a fascist takeover of the United States.
For sure!

4 of my kids are old enough to vote, with two more aging up. They knew that their own safety was on the line, as all four have a uterus, one is trans, and two are bi. It was very personal. One voted for the first time and did so at college, the only one I didn't get to take to their first polling.

We focus on that for 2024. Let's take wins we did get and focus on doing better in 2024.
Didn't we though? If all the Republicans running were a lot more like Brian Kemp, Raffensberger, and Sununu, this would have been a different night for Republicans. Instead the Doug Mastrianos and other mini-Trumps are not doing well and besides Vance, have lost in all the competitive races.
Do you think the Dems will hold then in Arizona? It doesn't seem like a done deal yet but I don't know Arizonan politics well at all.
Describing Republican base voters as "aging out of voting" over the next few years got me like 💀💀💀
I liked that phrase, compared to the more blunt explanations.
America is 'voting' itself into extinction. That is far more profound that such self-fulfilling partisan claptrap.
I worked at the Polls yesterday. I was at the ballot scanner from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
60% of the voters were under 30.
Thank you!
Excellent news.
So darn good to hear about the strength of the young voters! That’s good hope for the future!

The biggest problem we have in America today is that of declaring "wins" as if the "Other" is our enemy rather than our fellow countrymen. I'm very glad young people turned out in large numbers, but their motive should be to SUPPORT Democracy, not to "defeat" half our country.
The youngsters have a huge stake in the world that is evolving because their lives are ahead of them. Ancients like me need to step back, provide support, and let them take the lead.
@@pricklypear7516 The one thing I love most about this little community we have here is the ability to accept differing views so thank you for sharing yours. Everyone interprets things differently and that is what I believe to be the hallmark of democracy. But let’s be honest here democracy must be fought for and one. It’s done either through the electoral process or through other means (specifically war which is the least favorable option). If our basic tenets warn us against “domestic terrorism” then unfortunately sometimes we are in a fight with our fellow countrymen and there will be winners and losers. I prefer your way of thinking but given what has been and continues to be revealed daily we just aren’t there yet! Keep holding onto that thought and let’s all work toward getting there.
My 16 year old niece and all her friends cannot wait to vote. I'm going to do my damndest to make sure they actually do. They are not voting Republican...lol. And we live in a VERY rural area with a lot of those older folks that age out. Only problem is...most 18 year olds don't vote where they grew up, they vote in college towns. But it is what it is. Doesn't help a ton in local district stuff, but state wide it will.
So proud of the young voters and in 2 years there will be more of them, gives me a little hope.
I used to take my daughter with me to vote when she was a child, all the way up to now. (teenager) She said "I'll take YOU to vote in the next election Babba."
I can't wait. 🙂
@@michaelmartinez3674 aww❤️❤️❤️ make sure to celebrate after voting with a father/daughter dinner.
Indeed, my friend. Indeed.
We double the amounts of votes in our house in 2024. Will have an 18 & 19 YO join the ranks. This go around was a family affair going through and discussing and researching everything on the ticket. Have taken them to city council meetings, school board meetings and the like. All the things I have learned along the way. The younger block is such a force. I don't think they realize the power they will have. 💕
I teach high school. These kids are very engaged and they're not having any of this nonsense. The 18 year old's were excited to go vote yesterday. Beau is absolutely right.
Make sure to teach them the importance of primary elections as well as school board, judges, sheriff and AG.
That gives me real hope.
My daughter who is 15 has been engaged in what's going on since she was 12 years old. Some people truly underestimate this next generation of voters. When I got home from voting I sent her a text and told her to tell her friends and classmates that her mother voted for their rights even if their parents won't, that hers did. She was pretty excited about it.
@@rachelb2464 those, in my opinion, are the most important, that's what I tell my kids.
@@rachelb2464 I'm so glad you said this. I tell them that their local leaders have a bigger impact on their daily lives. Keep an eye on those folks too 🙂
As one of many Unlikely Voters who Vote and will continue to vote for Democracy over Tyranny, wanted to say, Thank You Beau for being the Voice of Reason in a Chaotic World. :)
I volunteer as a poll worker during elections and there were way more people 18 to 20 years old to vote than I normally come across. Its only one county in one state, but all the election workers know that the key is making the voting process as smooth as possible. Explain the requirements and facilitate voting for these young people and they'll vote again in the next election because they understand its not a hassle, just a little time out of 1 day that can have a big impact.
That makes me so happy. Unfortunately in my community it was kind of the opposite. My state has been red for so long, there are a lot of young people who just shrug and say that their vote doesn't count. But the under dog got 40% of the vote. If young people did show up, of those discouraged democrats and independent voters actually showed up, he might have gotten closer to 50%.
@@cbpd89 You're exactly right! People that use the old "my vote won't make any difference" trope, don't seem to look at the big picture. If enough of those people show up, it's not just their one vote. Too much apathy regarding our elections, especially local elections.
It's only every two years. Call me crazy but I think it's kind of fun.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your work!
The trumpeters in my life will NEVER be allowed to forget what they've done. Even now, whenever they start to give me their opinion on anything I cut them off with " Well you voted for trump twice and supported him after Jan 6th so you're not a good decision maker and you can't be trusted to not be cruel." I will NEVER let them forget and they will NEVER be forgiven.
As a former Trump (twice sadly, but he lost me after his coup) voter. Don't ever let up. I'm greatly ashamed I ever threw my hat in with that fascist. But just remember, that people can change. But never let people forget that monster was voted in.
Hey Clinton is that you?
I’m a former Trumper myself and I renounced him the day the coup happened. I spent most of last year deprogramming myself from conservatism. After eight months, I came out as a liberal Democrat as I was finally completely out. My time as a Trump supporter is a past I am not proud of. I’m so glad I changed and it was for the good too. I will never let any Trumper in my life forget what they did either although I am willing to give them an opportunity to change because if I can change, they can change. Anyone can change. That’s exactly what Rocky Balboa said at the end of Rocky IV after he took out Drago in Russia on Christmas Day. It’s never too late to change
neither of you two were or are conservative lol. Fake as hell like the media and democrats.
You are right, I was listening to right wing radio, the Hugh guy. A caller called in and started with the cheating crap and was quickly disconnected. It's over it was a short lived fad
Indeed. As young Americans, this is their nation as well. The nation they will grow up in and live their lives and perhaps raise their children. I am proud of them for taking a stand to save their nation. I am in my mid-sixties and the thought of our young folks showing they care and will act in favor of our nation is truly inspiring. Thank you all.
Young people have More To Lose than we old fogies, that's why the voting age should be lowered to 16!
It’s almost a historical cliche, the young ALWAYS have it right because they’re actually concerned about the world they’re going to inhabit for another 60-70 years.
Lived thru practicing hiding under my little desk in grammar school from Cuban/Russian Nukes, Vietnam, Nixon, Kent State and on and on. Take over youngins.
@@ericfelds6291 Indeed, sir. Indeed.
They are the people of tomorrow and they won't take shit whey
Should they
The voter turnout was absolutely incredible,thank you to all voters who came out to save democracy

I’m a chronic procrastinator so despite having ballot for a month, I always walk it in election night. The poll place at 7pm was outrageously packed- but so orderly. Took about ten mins to get to the drive thru box, loved every minute of it.
@@lancecarter1888 That’s fine we each have the right to vote on issues and concerns I just want the rhetoric in this country to stop United We Stand Divided We Fall
@@lancecarter1888 You’re welcome believe me I’ve been in the column of replying with some thoughtless and not very nice comments,but I believe it’s time to start to listen to each other, yes we may disagree on many things,but I’m sure there are some things people can agree on and that’s how we start building just common decency with each other again,we have know other choice we all have to give and take a little for all of our sakes. God Bless you as well
Exactly! If we ever lose democracy, we won't get it back and then it would be all downhill from there.
Beau, I am 58 years old and up until about four five years ago, I bought into the conservative Republican mantra...not trumpism, but still identified as Republican. I won't get into the weeds here, but over the last 15 years I have undergone some significant changes in the way I view and think about a variety of things in today's society. I'm a Boomer, and yesterday I went and voted along with the young people you referred to. The election results that are being reported today make me happy. Trumpism is hopefully on its way out of our lives and we maybe can see the beginnings of an embrace to a more humanistic approach to governance. I appreciate the work you do...keep it up.
I hope very much you are right about an end to Trumpism; I feel like the one thing that should give me hope is that GOP senators / politicians have certainly gotten used to people going from up & coming one day to "don't know him never talked to him" the next with an almost Stalinesque frequency. So maybe that can happen to Trump, deSantis and their likes, too.
I badly want a blue wave (I'm European, but I'm painfully aware that we are all facing mayor global problems and we need the US to be aware and active, not busy whipping up a useless panic about transgender), but right now I'm just happy that the red wave didn't happen and the majority of US voters are still sane. (Sorry, it's just that with some of the news and some of those candidates ...)
There was a red wave.
It was stopped by a blue dam.
The Republicans were different in 2012/2014. It's understandable that you could be interested in their policies
Good words, well said. I hope America is on it's way to recovering from hateful and divisive MAGA madness and choosing a path back to a genuine honesty, trust and respect for each other, whatever the differences. The world needs a sensible, stable and healthy America.
@@trunkage this is true, it seems there was a fundamental difference in how the Republicans as a whole dealt with what can be shown to be true. Today's party has a seemingly significant contingent that is unwilling to acknowledge what is true. My dissassociation with the party as a whole began when I began examining what I saw as fundamental issues that defined the core values of not just Republicans, but liberals, conservatives and progressives. Topics such as abortion, LGBTQ+, race, monetary policy, Healthcare and so on.
I can say there were tons of us out here that were textbanking our little fingers to the bone, for weeks, to get those younger ones motivated, registered, and help them get to the polls, and this makes me so very proud we might have helped this out!
👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❣️
Yep. My son turned 18 in May, and when I told him I was heading to vote last week, he had his shoes on before I made it to the next room.
I'm proud of you, fellow Americans. Big sigh of relief for an expat.
In a sense, young people filled and placed sandbags around our democracy. Thank you Gens X & Z!
Douchebags, not sandbags.
Whatever fascist.
@@imperialmotoring3789 your mom.
I think you forgot about millennials lol
Damn, just leaving out the 26-41 yro generation? lol
“The zoomers will be back, and in greater numbers.” -Beau
Zoomers always travel single file to hide their numbers.
Gen Z, we love you. You absolutely made a difference, and a positive one at that!
Proud I helped to kick out Steve Chabot and JR Majewski in Ohio!
They understand their rights. A lot of young people do not hate on others because of sex , religious, or your sexuality. You are so right.
Young people showed up and Republicans noticed. But instead of reaching out to appeal to them, they want to raise the voting age to 21.
Beau, I want to thank you. You gave me knowledge and faith to vote. I used to think my vote wouldn’t count.
you're a long way from alone. one day i had a thought, "who is telling me that my vote doesn't count?" it certainly wasn't the dems, because they weren't the ones pushing laws to "tighten election security" by pushing laws designed to reduce turnout by introducing overly onerous conditions for registration..
Amen amen- thank YOU for showing up! It totally matters!
I used to feel the same way. Until the 2020 election, they tried very hard to take it away from us.
Greetings from Europe; our parents made it clear to us early on: "if you don't vote, you have no right to complain" and "the only way to secure your rights as an employee is to join the union"
thank you, well done :)
so glad we have this community, it is a real sanity saver.
So pleased to see all the young people at the poles. Was the first time there was actually a line at the midterms in my district.
There was a line at my precinct also!!! They waited in the rain!!!!!
We early voted, but it was my son’s first time voting. They cheered and clapped for him. I didn’t know that was a thing that they do. Kind of scared us initially. 😂
Good for the young!!
I’ve been waiting for your thoughts on the election all morning - thanks for sharing. Thanks to young voters for turning out and voting their support for democracy - I’m just one cranky old grandma in a sea of red, but yesterday gave me hope of a better tomorrow. ❤ 🤗
Been waiting for this video Beau!
Man, Gen Z is going to storm the barricades in the next decade. They have learned through this era that they can work the levers of power to get things done. And they know no one else is going to save them -- we older generations have already failed them. They have to save themselves. And they will.
Damn, Beau. I got a tear in my eye listening to you describing what the young voters want.
@@lancecarter1888 And on the flip side as you get old you want programs to help you into your senior years.
The young people today want to start families. They are having a hard time doing that without affordable housing. Repubs offer nothing there. Dems neither.
@@lancecarter1888 Ah yes, which means you of course don't want to vote for stronger access to affordable healthcare and higher education or anything like that. Nah you only want to live in hope of becoming a high earner where the tax decreases are actually noticeable, while not hitting even a single bump in the road along the way. Makes sense.
@@lancecarter1888 lmfao "you'll grow into being a selfish piece of shit"
@@lancecarter1888 Nope. Try again.
@@lancecarter1888 Ah, back again to bring the comic relief I see.
So great to see the young becoming the next greatest generation! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Your our brighter future!!♥️
I am no longer young. I have worked and waited for years for our government to live up to its promise for all of us not just the wealthy connected elites. We are working on that kids. We need your help.
I don't think a lot of people accounted for all the folks who voted for Trump in the last election who saw his behavior and everything on January 6th and said never again to the Republican party not until at a minimum they can denounce that kind of BS. Where's the poll for that? I used to be a republican but I'm so embarrassed by their behavior and I've changed my way of thinking.
Elderly {74} Canadian man here. You offer good news to me & others like me who have been concerned that our American cousins were losing their minds. I hadn't considered the youth vote, but you give me hope that sanity might be restored. Love & respect from a northern neighbour.

Thank you! Regards from Nevada. We're not all crazy. About 1/3 are for sure after being brainwashed for 6 years. That's going to be a problem.
If it ends up not going well some of us will head your way.
If you understand American politics, and who really runs that country, you may wish to reconsider your 'relief'. It is illusory at best.
Thank you, kind Canadian neighbor!! The younger people really showed up and we're all standing shoulder to shoulder against the red crazies. We shall persevere!💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I think this you tube channel and several others have helped to get the truth to many. Keep up with the great truthful messaging.
funny how influential indie progressive channels have been this time. even msnbc has referenced these folks. like Bernie says, real change comes from the ground up.
damned shame the corporatist dnc hates Bernie more than the fear trump and his fascists
still, Joe is doing far better than i expected. credit where it's due.
Thank goodness for younger voters!! You mentioned something that really caught my attention - that younger voters deeply believe in the the ideal of 'Unalienable rights' and that 'All people are created equal.' I wonder how many people who chose to become American citizens, like myself, also fall into this same belief demographic. Have a great day, and all of our best wishes to your family.
I hope more & more ! Our naturalized fellow Americans need to keep voting for freedom & equality not buying the propaganda of Auth or itarians !
Welcome to the fray !
It's not a strictly American phenomenon, Shauna. Look at the schoolgirls in Iran; they've been protesting for their rights for weeks, now. They've even gotten into physical altercations and fought off the authorities! They're amazing.
I'm not sure if a general statement like that can be made for all immigrants/naturalized citizens. I read that for example a significant portion of the Cuban-American population in Florida vote Republican/Faux-conservative to keep up sanctions against the Cuban regime, and that change through rapprochement and dialogue isn't exactly a popular policy, even if it's working.
At 77 I’m heartened that the younger generation has begun to mobilize and participate. For many years I was deeply disappointed in young voter participation in the process. Not since the late ‘50’ and the ‘60’s - my boomer generation - have young voters stepped up.
I am one of those unlikely voters. Thank you, Beau, for motivating me to go out there and vote.
And thank you :)
Young people today need to remember that the generation that is going to 'age out' of the voting base, was once young and idealistic like they are now. In fact kind of famously so in this case. Learn from their mistakes. Don't allow the disappointments and heartbreaks that life brings, to make you become bitter, spiteful, and selfish. Learn from your experiences for sure, but don't allow the negative ones to beat you down and change who you are.
Your idealism IS right. Don't ever allow anyone or anything to take it away from you.
I'm 64 and am just amazed by my former classmates who are on facebook who have gone full MAGA. Not necessarily the uneducated stereotype, either. Our valedictorian, with a masters degree is one of them. She did attend Catholic colleges, so I know the abortion issue is important to her, but she's also very anti-immigration. I would have thought her Catholic education would have also impressed on her that giving to the poor, and helping those who are thought of as "other" is also important.
I sent your comment to my very idealistic daughter who voted for the first time in this election. Well said, thank you.
That you to all these people who rejected authoritarian rule. This rekindles hope within me. Thank you to all who voted and kept the sanity. 💕✨
Keep it up young people. And don't let up when you are 40 and think, we've got this. Keep going. ❤️
I’m 26 and vote whenever I can. I’m so proud of my homies in discord. We been gaming for years and I am so proud of them for going out to vote. I am so proud right now
As you should be. Well done!!!
Right on!
All I can say is this midterm election has lifted alot of my stress and worries and have more beliefs in the American people
Red Wave? More of a Red Ripple .......
Ranked-choice voting, an end to gerrymandering, campaign finance reform, reform at the S.C. and finally political reform are what's needed. Please, keep voting.
Yes indeed. My 20 and 21 y/o kids absolutely voted!
Thanks Beau!!! Being from Ohio, my wife and I were pretty devastated with our results!! You have us hope for the future and the next time!!
Devastated in Iowa as well but not giving up. Poll worker here who saw lots of young people and first time voters. Whole families came in, parents with their three Gen Z kids. It was wonderful to see and I’m in a predominantly red district and we were pretty much tied. The rural vote killed us again. They just can’t stop voting against their own best interests, deep sigh.
I’m from Ohio too and not happy with the results. I’m anxiously waiting for Sidney Powell and Mike Pillow to show up and tell us how Hugo Chavez flipped the votes from Nan Whaley to Mike Dewine and from Tim Ryan to J D Vance. We all know the election was stolen.
Ugh...Ohio. Yes...perked up when Beau was explaining.
Fellow terrified Ohioan here. Trying to stay strong and not just flee to PA 😭
I'm in CA and so I knew when I dropped my ballot off that I didn't have to worry about the results but I feel for you in Ohio and Iowa. Hopefully your state legislatures don't inflict too much damage over the next two years.
The young people give me hope for this destructive mess I am leaving to my granddaughters. Several years ago my granddaughters set up a table and chairs homemade lemonade and cookies stand at the end of their driveway. My son and daughter-in-law funded the first week, but the girls had to pay them back and fund further weeks from the profits of the first week. At the end of the month the girls decided, with no input from their parents, to donate all their profits to the local animal shelter. They did this the next summer, too. If the upcoming generations are people of this quality, they may just save enough of this world to allow it to make a new start.
Good story.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Unfortunately, Texas still has to deal with the 3 Stooges in Austin. And the Texas Supreme Court struck down a ruling that a few Harris County precincts could count their delayed ballots. Those precincts didn't open on time and had gotten a lower court to allow provisional ballots cast between 7-8pm. Haven't delved into which precincts, but my money is on primarily Dem precincts.
I early voted on the first day in NC
And
For the first time, I had to wait cuz it was PACKED! 👋👋👋
With even some YOUNG people (talking mid 20's, early 30's) being election workers -- I couldn't help but smile.❤️🔥
I started to see a glimmer of hope. 😎
I am truly grateful for young people in this country. Thank you for your votes and for your major part in seeing that this country and the world stay alive.
@@lancecarter1888 Yep. It was the vote for the US Senate and House seats. Did you miss it? Maybe you live in Puerto Rico or DC. We'd like to put those places in Congress too, but the GOP doesn't.
That's why Republicans trying to take funding (in other words education) away from schools, maga representatives trying to get elected into schools to train them young.
@@lancecarter1888 It's crazy but true -- the U.S. has global influences. I hear you say "No wayyyyy" but I assure you that when the U.S. does stuff, it affects other countries. 😮😮
@@lancecarter1888 Because the midterms elect people who- in part -will affect what the U.S. does. Not sure if I can lead you any closer to water than that.
@@lancecarter1888 Oh I get it, you were taking it literally.
3:21 "They will age out of voting." Is one of the best euphemisms I've heard in a good while.
Or die from covid
I always had hope that the younger generation would wake up.
There really are people who have common sense.
GenZ showed up and scared them into trying to raise the voting age and it was awesome to watch.
So thankful for the young people, showing up for the good of their country.
Good job! Let’s keep fighting!
I'm super proud of the GenZ candidates (congrats to the winners!) and of the young people getting out to vote.
Beau, what you just said has been the best part of the election for me! I've been down because our election in Texas didn't go so well, but you have given me hope again. I give you my deepest sincere gratitude for these words to begin my day. 💙
Don't feel bad I live in Florida it's frustrating but never give up.
Because it turns out the 'silent republican majority' isn't a majority. Gerrymandering is the only thing keeping them afloat.
Thanks Beau, for being here. Yes, I am thrilled the red wave did not happen, but gerrymandering in red states, and redistricting in NY, has cost of several House seats. That part is so frustrating. But thank you to young people and women who made such a positive difference. 💙Now, let’s look forward to indictments for 45 from Garland and others.
Even gerrymandered they are losing. In CO bobert was almost guaranteed a win with her district with the way it has been sliced and diced yet here we are with her still trailing, she is only down around 1% but has been since early reporting started.
Sadly I am still stuck with abbott so its not all good news but that gap is getting smaller each election cycle.
I lived there until a few months ago. The crime problem is WILD. And the dems do seem to be way to easy on true violent criminals. I think that contributed too. Dems shouldn’t be silly like that.
not only for herr drumpfh but for his allies in the gop. they won't be as focused on attacking our democracy if they're forced to hire lawyers to defend themselves.
Yes prison time for trump
@@baconsoup8346 I think it is a combination of factors from the GOP pushing out a lot of its core moderate base for more right wing crazy, abbott himself prides himself on poaching jobs from CA which is a strong blue leaning, and there have been a number of questionable missteps over the last term that really have shaken the ground he is on. Uvalde, the rush to open Texas as covid still burned, the hard Texas freeze to name some of the front runners in my mind.
Personally am not a big Beto fan but given my options he got my vote. A look at the last poll was about 10% difference, not close but not far and seeing progress over past elections you are right in that things are shifting as a whole. I didn't expect this to be the magic blue bullet but it is nice to see that overall the nation is looking for more moderate and less bat shit crazy. Given that most democrat campaigns were relatively benign overall they are doing ok. I would like to see more fight in the party, Beto had a few good outbursts but could have stood to have a few more, Frisk with his "I am not Nancy Pelosi" made me chuckle, and Feterman was fun to watch most other campaigns were more of a side note.
Texan here, realistically I knew Abbott was going to win because there’s just too many stubborn GOP voters (but it didn’t make the results any less disappointing). I’m glad to see it wasn’t quite the case in many other parts of the country.
To be fair, The dems running Beto was a mistake. I’m not a Texan but I’ve lived there for a cumulative 3-4 years. He’s a terrible candidate. Arizona did the same thing, ran a bad candidate against Lake.
@@kidxclusive The DNC love Beto. He is a corporatist like them but has a cute smile. They think the smile is going to prevail one day. It won't.
He antagonized too many gun owners, even though I support what he said, and he doesn't appeal to progressives.
Here in Michigan the Democrats took control of both houses of the state Legislature for the first time in 48 years; the Democratic governor, secretary of state, and attorney general were all reelected; and proposals for reproductive rights and voting rights passed. We're _supposed_ to be a swing state. Interesting implications for 2024.
I think Democrats need to keep a running total of how many rapes were reported in Texas, ever since Abbott promised to address that issue in his promotion of forced reproduction. THEN they need to match up how many RAPISTS have been PROSECUTED, including those that are incest crimes. I’m betting he’s ignoring sex criminals and/or giving them slaps on the wrist, when they deserve castration and hard time. Keep the pressure on them for their choice to be “anti”-choice, until they squeal.
Fellow Texan here. I feel disappointed but not surprised as well. Just wished they ran someone better than Beto. Thing is, I don't know of anyone that might draw enough traditional Republicans away from the GOP, even if they see that changes in it. We need someone like a modern day Democratic Teddy Roosevelt to get that done.
So happy that Fetterman won, can’t wait to see him in DC
From Pa.,you're welcome 😄
Kim from PA! I really didn't know how this would go! I'm Dancin' near Hershey! Thx fellow PA comrades!

I'm in Texas and just sick that Beto didn't win. That man campaigned like there was no tomorrow! He would have been an awesome governor for the people! I'm sad and disappointed. 💙
Can't wait to see Big John toe to toe with McConnell,Cruz, and that little weasel Hawley!
@@Crazycatlady71 that guy was so inspiring he gave it all, he would have worked for the people in his state. Now there's a state voting against it's own best inrerest.
My kid's school had voting parties. The high school kids organized carpools and breakfast/lunch plans for the 18 years olds to go vote while the other kids cheered them on. That is VERY different than my high school years. Trumpism was a backlash, that has, in turn, created its own backlash.
We had some great candidates! Thank goodness for the young voters! I am grateful! I just went over my ActBlue donation list and most of the people I sent small donations to WON! So disappointed for Beto and Stacy and Val!
Me too. We can’t get all we want but at least it was not a red wave. Maybe next time we will turn it around.
My first vote was in 1984, at age 19. I voted for Ferraro. Well, and Mondale. But mostly Ferraro. 😉 and I was crushed when St Ronald of Reagan took 49 states. But I didn't stop voting. Clinton was the first vote that went to the winner. Take heart, younguns.

keep on pushing the truth my man, keep talking to the people who want to hear the truth,good or bad geoxxx
One can not speak to those who will not listen..
I am thinking "the left" needs our own version of Turning Point and Pragar U. We need young, energetic Americans going to the high schools and college campuses to spread the word about Progressive ideology.
The premise is very simple to understand. The Oligarch Class is your enemy. If the 99% unites under one banner of ending corruption - BRIBERY - of politicians, then the rest will fall in line. Once the wealthy 1% and corporate special interests make no profit from buying the federal government, we can have a government that is truly of and for the people.
The different backdrop makes this feel like it should've been prefaced with an announcer solemnly saying "Tonight on a very special episode of 'Beau of the Fifth Column...'"
...we get some exclusive insight into what was expected by the Republican party and what exactly what went wrong. Tonight we go behind the shed with Beau himself. :)
To everyone who voted blue, Thank you from my whole heart. 💙💙💙Yet we still have to reach out to those who are still not convinced that democracy, kindness, and freedom (of choice, of not being killed by an AR-15 or other weapon, for a habitable planet for all living beings...etc.) are the way to go.
