The 45+ crowd will vote for him because they support isn'treal and are afraid of Drumpf but I think we're going to see a massive drop out of young voters. Probably too with the people who already don't vote to begin with, namely service workers who are fucked over either way with D's and R's.

And here I thought Biden was going to win in November, time to eat crow.

So far we have the whole stimulus check debacle, no student loan forgiveness, banning TikTok, and now his steadfast determination to enable genocide in Palestine. I'm sure there is a lot more. I don't know what he has done for young people except belittle causes and issues that are important to them

I'm probably not voting at all, but Id vote 3rd party again if I did.

Remember when Feinstein told a bunch of literal children to fuck off when they confronted her about climate change? Children with existential dread is not a thing the world should tolerate yet the crusty old dinosaur was indifferent. That's the democratic party in a nutshell. They can't even pretend to care.

Literally watching children come to terms with the contradictions of liberal democracy.

"Wait, 'we dont all want to die in the water wars' isn't a legitimate reason to do something?"

It's happening with the college protests too. They were taught that peaceful protest was a right and a good thing to do to combat injustice. Then some meatloaf human with a badge tackles them at their own school. I hope a good percentage of these young people get radicalized enough to bully me for being a lib.
