If you're a young(ish) person capable of analysis of your life, I'd say maybe 16-40 as a broad grouping, you've lived literally your entire adult life or just your life generally with things being progressively worse and worse.

Housing costs skyrocketing with no actual discussion of a fix much less any plans to fix it. Biden has never mentioned housing costs to my knowledge.

Public education has reached rock bottom. The teachers unions that haven't yet been destroyed are being targeted harder than ever. Teachers already get treated like shit in pay and attitude from... well, libs and far right, so they get hit hard from all sides. Libs blame the schools for getting worse while their districts are bright red, property taxes are low or the cash is squandered on bullshit like, yep, more cops! More cops who do nothing in a place with nearly zero crime anyway (most places in the US when you look at stats). Neither the house nor senate have passed any sort of laws to FORCE an end to privatization of schooling and force an end to crushing unions of all sorts.

College education is unaffordable, student debt is stacking up coupling with unaffordable housing costs and mortgage rates also skyrocketing all amounting to "if you don't own a house yet and your parents won't be leaving you a house, you'll never own one. Now pay the rent seeking parasite who inherited the slums he now lords." Biden "tried" and then immediately caved to SCOTUS. He didn't have to, but he chose to.

Healthcare is unaffordable and combined with unaffordable "real food" and people working more than ever people's life expectancy is dropping rapidly. Again, zero policy action by Biden.

All of the above would take positive action- hey, you're all just idealists who expect congress and the president to do things!

Enter Gaza An issue which requires negative action, as in simply DO NOT give funding and arms to Israel. DO NOT veto the security council. Biden could just shut his mouth, sit on his hands, and let the world deal with Israel.

Instead of doing what the majority of the country and basically a consensus of Democrat voters (or generally left leaning people, especially under 40) have demanded, stop fueling this ongoing genocide, he sends blood magic resurrection zombie Rums-irby out to drone on and on "the president doesn't care what you think. This is not a democracy. Now vote to save democracy. No you won't get anything good. Yes we know they're burning babies. Did you not hear me? "We do not care.""

Biden was already a failed president before Oct 7. Maybe on Oct 6 there was some "well, Trump will definitely be worse..." argument. Biden walked out, sleepy eyed from his nap, lied about seeing beheaded babies, still lies about that despite Israelis admitting it was a lie, said Israel could do genocide, and in his stubborn oldness and apparent love for the drinking of child blood, has absolutely refused to do even enforce his own absurdly late and weak red lines. He let Israel ride him like the donkey he is and he's loving it.

What a fucking loser and a moron. He may well go down as the worst president ever and holy fucking shit is that bar high. W still beats him I guess, maybe a couple others like Jackson and Johnson, but Biden still has six months to do more shit.

This doesn't get brought up enough because liberals crucify you if you mention it but Biden literally said

"Young people today want to complain about how tough they have it. Give me a break. No I'm serious I have no sympathy. If you don't like the way things are you go out and change it."

Not enough is made about the fact the democratic candidates stated message to young people is "go fuck yourself specifically. I'm not doing shit for you if you want something done you go fucking do it."

If a republican politician had said something half as callous about literally any other group liberals would still be clutching their pearls about it. Instead younget linked to a snopes article that say "FALSE: He did literally say those words in that order in that context but that's not what he meant you dirty commies."

Like you literally have to be really really good at ignoring reality ro even lie to yourself effectively enough to believe that Joe Biden doesn't have open confessed contempt for you if you're left of Bush Sr.

That's setting aside the fact you have to make excuses for why fucking everything else has steadily gotten shittier for your entire lifetime.

We already got very visually completely fucked over on higher education, the job market, and home ownership and it's basically an open secret were paying into social security every month and they're just gonna end that as soon as the boomers die so we'll all be dead fucking broke because we payed for the last generations to have free government Healthcare and retirement and as a reward well get to work until we die on the job at 70.

Assuming the climate catastrophe hasn't advanced to water wars by that point.

Dems are lucky that burning down their fucking houses isn't the hot new trend among younger generations.

The sour mood points to potential trouble for Joe Biden, who is struggling with Gen Z and younger Millennials in polls compared with 2020, and needs to convince them he can be relied on to improve their lives.

Despairing? Oh no, the death of the empire is the only thing that gives me hope! I don't think it even matters who leads the empire in decline, it can not be stopped and the world will finally be free.

... wish I could have national healthcare tho

man it's almost like Biden promised young people a bunch of things in the last round that he absolutely didn't bother to follow through on, and then continued/intensified all of the worst trends of the Trump presidency

“Step one is more fully admitting that people are hurting, concerning young voters and all voters, particularly around the economy [and] inflation,” Smith said. “And that we’re doing something about it. That it’s not all roses, and communicating that really, really strongly: That we don’t think everything is great.”

Rest easy everyone, for we are Seen and Heard.

This is their takeaway. It’s clear who their audience is here that they are addressing. Ruling Democratic Party blob creatures. The issue is not with how things are, it’s with how we communicate it. This is the constant Democrat explanation when they eat it, that they aren’t doing a good enough job “communicating” their wins, which means more money for ad agencies and PR agencies. That’s what “better communication” translates to, more money at the failing consultancies who already take and waste all the money.

Hmm is it bad that we are a dying evil empire that everyone across the political spectrum hates? No, it is the kids who are wrong and need to be better communicated to
