Biden’s numbers among young voters have slid during his presidency from the high margins that helped him beat Trump. Several former supporters explain why.
I feel like people from countries where they just recently got free elections can explain this better. I see all this conversation (entitlement? propaganda? cluelessness? The OP article is definitely in the “propaganda” category) from people who are talking about how not liking something Biden did, translates into deciding not to vote for Biden. To someone coming from some situation where voting is connected to your survival and safety, as opposed to the modern-day US where it’s more like a fashion statement, that seems like just pure careless idiocy.
And, as far as the 2024 election, it is connected to your survival. Usually in the US it’s not. This time it is.
I’m old enough to remember when “young people” weren’t going to vote for Obama’s second term because of “drone strikes”.
Voting is a chess move, not a love letter.
Bernie or Bust comes to mind too…
Couldn’t have said it better myself.

There is a reason that pollsters ask you how you “feel” about a candidate & not who you’re voting for. Can’t spin the latter.
