Too busy to vote

The Miami Herald has written about recent anti-Trump rallies in Fort Lauderdale and other cities. Many of these protesters are millennials, age 20-29, who did not come out to vote. Recently, the Herald noted that only 19 percent of them voted, and four-fifths stayed home.

What were they busy with? Facebook and taking selfies?

If millennials were worried about a Trump presidency and the policies it would entail, they should have voted. too late now. Maybe they will wake up and vote in the next presidential election.
