    I love your framing here, “youth vote is going to abandon the Dems.” lol!

    The youth vote delivered a majority for the Dems, which was squandered yet again, because democrats don’t actually want to lead. Dems clearly are a fundraising organization, not a political organization.

    Shouldn’t the DNC have to do something to earn people’s votes? Instead they spit in our faces as they continue to serve the corporate donors.

    So fine, let them continue to court boomers. Because that will obviously work forever.

      Correction - you were the one that implied the young people were going to abandon the dems: “Biden had his chance, and blew it”

        You’re missing their point. Biden didn’t abandon younger voters because he never supported them in the first place. He talked a good game so he had their support which is why he won in 2020. Now that it’s clear they never had his support yes, they will abandon him.
