They're gonna get it banned just in time to disenfranchise young voters immediately before the election

disenfranchise

I’m no authority on words, I am an anarchist when it comes to words and so are all my favorite authors but I feel like this word is very commonly used in exactly the way you are using it.

I reckon 99% of people reading your post understood what you meant.

It’s a word, and it is the correct way to use it. If you disagree, fight me, I will open an alot-sized can of Ouchies on you.

Holy shit you're right I'm too tired for this shit

I'm looking for dis-something. Dissuade? Disillusion? Disinclined? Man fuck English the Democrats are gonna piss off young people is what I mean

This could be a slam dunk year for either party and they're both insistent on keeping voter turnout as low as possible. Democrats are saying "yeah, let's complain about illegals killing Americans and give some more weapons to Israel" and the Republicans are doing so dogshit that Haley lost to None Of These Candidates in her own state primary, and she was still the person with the most votes

Democrats are like "youngins like TikTok? Let's ban it, that'll get em to vote for us" and the republicans respond with "oh yeah? Well we're gonna ban porn!" And the average American has less reason to vote in November than the average Russian did this month

Discourage? I dunno.

I guess I could say that young people are such flaky voters, it's not worth caring about what pisses them off too much. Breathing the wrong way, a made up deepfake, mercury being in retrograde, all of these are unforgivable offenses to young voters. Young voters are like that crazy girlfriend who has a dream you cheated on her so she's pissed at you for weeks.
