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.
Biden forever courting the 5% of Republicans who will maybe vote for him instead of going after younger people who would like to vote Democrat if they weren’t such shitheads. “Nothing will fundamentally change.”
The only wildcard is how some states had big turnout to protect abortion rights, like Ohio. Which will probably still go red cause it’s a shithole state but maybe other states will be blue.
“we offered nothing different or substantial and they seem to not like us! wtf!”
It’s literally worse than that.
“We actively explicitly told them we don’t care about their concerns and we will not compromise with them at all, and also if they don’t support us because of that it’s because they’re selfish and dumb.” That’s democrats literal message to young people.
“Young people today want to complain about how bad they have it. Give me a break. No I’m serious, I have no sympathy.”
Gee I wonder why the person who said that at a campaign event might have a hard time with youth support.
And if you bring this up liberals just link you a snopes article that says it’s false that he said it and the first line of the article is “ok he did literally say those words in that order and it isn’t out of context but he didn’t mean it like that.”

You weren’t lying.
Wouldn’t have gone for the “you have so much social progress compared to my day” argument if I was
A. Born into wealth as a white man, and
B. Was a segregationist at the time.
But go off I guess
I’m very curious about the impact of abortion since it’s clearly hugely significant to people and yet the Democratic party has shown and continues to show they have no interest in acting on it on a federal level.
I’m not even sure they have interest acting on a state level since everything I’ve seen has been ballot initiatives.
The only states where the presidential vote matters are “battleground” states.
Only states that have abortion on the ballot are where abortion will be a significant political issue.
As of now, there’s only 1 state that ticks both of those boxes (Arizona). So in terms of the presidential election, it’s only really relevant there. And tbh, the way the polling seems now, it looks like Arizona will make abortion legal but vote for Trump.
Yet another opportunity to immediatly lock this election up and instead they send out Joe to stammer through a statement about how he doesn’t personally support it and “doesn’t believe in the whole my body my choice thing”
I know. It’s ridiculous that most people still consider the Democratic party to be pro choice in any sort of meaningful sense.
I think the under 45 participation rate will be so low that Trump will actually get more support than Biden, because at least his base loves him.
Can’t wait for the endless think pieces about how young people are conservative 🙄
Depends how much the election fraud narrative is pushed. If Trump convinces enough supporters that voting is meaningless, then both parties would be dealing with self-inflected low turnout. Granted, if the belief that democracy is dead is a strong enough belief to suppress Trump votes enough for Biden to win, then we risk bigger problems regardless of the outcome of the vote.
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.
Over 45 Libs (and a lot of people under that age too) really think that they can just say “trump bad, trump worse” to every criticism because to them the break with norms is so shocking that they can’t get over it. They think everyone cares about this aesthetic shit as much as they do.
For people who’s formative years were around the george w admin we saw a president who did unspeakably terrible things but the libs give him credit because he went to the correspondents dinner and took it on the chin. They really can’t understand that we’re looking past the optics, we know it’s all a charade and we care about what’s behind it.
He started off saying he has no synpathy for the problems faced by young people and telling billionaires nothing will fundamentally change.
He was cooked from the start he just worked harder than most of the baby leftists who tried really really hard to give him a pass but he kept doubling down and reiterating that he detests them and doesn’t care what they think and would never even consider comprimising with them let alone working with them.
He started at zero and has been digging as hard as he can since then.
He barely beat trump, only because Trump killed 2 million Americans to own the libs, and since then has done everyrhing he can to convince anybody who cares about workers right, the environment, or not committing genocide to not vote for him.
Just look at the current liberal memes that are literally “ok Biden is doing a genocide but if Trump wins he’ll do even more genocide”
Gotta vote for Biden so Trump doesn’t bomb the rubble.
He was also getting destroyed in the polls until Obama made the perfect phone call
Obummer putting his thumb on the scales only to make things worse is very on-brand. Like how the NBA was gonna strike over black lives matter and then he called up some of the players and talked them out of it. Can you imagine the amount of attention they could have brought to the issue? Big names, immensely popular figures, role models to children, an industry worth billions and billions in cash. Goddamn him.
It would have been cool if those players stood their ground too. Not blaming them, because I don’t know how the phone call(s) went down.
“you uhhh saw what we did to Kobe, right?”
