You see, they’re not voting because “I hate mailing stuff; it gives me anxiety”:
My fellow Millennial brethren are so blessed.

You even have to buy stamps!
Bernie and Ocasio-Cortez's takeaway from this might be "free printers and stamps for millennials because they're being disenfranchised." https://t.co/mZHVQS8MxD pic.twitter.com/xPM1qVvieP

And dealing with the Post Office is just too damn hard:
"if someone had the forms printed for me and was willing to deal with the post office, I’d be much more inclined to vote" as annoying as these people are, sometimes that's what u gotta do ?

WHY IS NOBODY HELPING THEM!
Lots of sympathy for this 28-year-old who isn't sure how to vote and wishes he could learn through a Snapchat filter or Instagram story. https://t.co/Ra3ahrXlT6

Who wants to tell these cupcakes how much harder it gets?
I'd be interested in whether any of the people interviewed for this rage-bait have ever signed up for health insurance or applied for a mortgage or done anything arguably far more complex than figuring out how to mail in an absentee ballot. https://t.co/YZW4nFd1dJ
