The 2024 General Election was a watershed moment. For the first time, the "silent majority" of under-30s realized their power. They use Twitter (X) to fact-check political dynasties and debate economic policy with a ferocity previously unseen. They are cynical of the old guard ( Orba nostalgia is only found in the older generations) but hopeful for technocratic solutions. The "Golput" (blank vote) movement is strong, but so is the "Cerdas Memilih" (vote smart) campaign.
