You're hired.

By being the least worst candidate. Thank you FPTP voting

It's not about LOSING the young vote. Not voting is the default position for young people... Always has been (although each generation has gotten better about this)... The question is "how can I keep supporting genocide and still get young people to actually show up and vote?" And of course the answer is bully them relentlessly and never give them anything they ask for /s

Let's make a list!

This is a waste of energy, here:

Same. The Republicans have been insulting anyone who doesn't stand with them on everything. They claim to be able to criticize Biden, but holy shit am I tired of being insulted for not agreeing with him on genocide. They just continue to push everyone away. So while I am also voting, a part of me doesn't blame those who are done and not bothering. They want everyone sit down, shut up, never expect to get anything we want, but then to also vote? Kind of fucked.

I mean it worked in 2020. Biden started the campaign with effectively a Republican slate of policy positions. Until the ratfucking on Sunday before super Tuesday, Bernie was running away with it.

To get Bernie's voters, Biden basically did a lift and shift of Bernie's entire policy platform. This got him the support of Bernie's massive grassroots movement, and is what won the election (and why we've seen such a progressive slate of domestic policies from Biden). At that time, Biden learned from the lesson that Hillary didn't: You can't shame voters into supporting you; you have to prioritize their issues.

Biden can do the same now. Its actually pretty easy to do so. He can come out strongly and say something like "While we still support our ally Israel, this genocide is wrong, and the extermination of a people is never an acceptable answer. Never again means never again, for any community"

And like you said, he can also just explain exactly why he is unable to do certain things. He can can just send some very strong signals.

Biden isn't going to win by converting Trump voters. Anybody who still thinks Trump is the best choice for America is not going to change their mind at this point. They are lost causes.

Biden is going to win by breaking apathy and making people realize that he is incredibly limited (by the Republican-led House) on what he can do in Israel. The genocide is popular with both leading parties. It sucks. Get over it.

If you want an honest answer, it's because for every 1 of the "stop the genocide" people, there's 2 people who support Israel's campaign to bomb Palestine. Mainly because Hamas is often seen as representing the Palestinian people and have done everything in their power to destroy sympathy for Palestinians, and secondarily because US-based advocates for a free Palestine have used methods that seem primarily designed to piss people off like setting up camps in public spaces and accusing random passers-by of partaking in genocide.

Source: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-israel-gaza-poll-cbs-news/ Even after a shift away from Israel, only 37% think the US should even encourage Israel to stop the campaign. To me military aid to Israel makes exactly zero sense. But I also live in reality, and cutting off aid entirely would be political suicide until advocates for it do a better job of actually being convincing.

This but unironically

Hello fellow youths... Don't you just love totally not out of touch boomers?

By making memes that old people would think young people liked.

I haven't seen any pro-Trump content making a big dent here (maybe that's just my experience).

Are you simply classifying any criticism of the sitting president as being automatically pro-trump?

Given your use of "tankie" I'm willing to bet that's what's really going on.
