Young voters aren't warming up to Biden. They know it means Trump could win again.

Polls show young people don't like either Trump or Biden and they're angry they're expected to pick one. Some young liberals may not vote at all.
Why is the answer never "Biden has to do something bold and public to earn the votes of the unexcited, rather than leaning on I'm-not-Trump?"
The student loan thing night have worked if the courts didn't shoot it full of holes. Why is he not promising to pack the courts to force it through? Stonewall any legislation that limps through the knife-edge House until they codify Roe? Go for the fucking jugular on something!
Showing some real backbone to Bibi might help, but we can't possibly have that.
I keep expecting they'll reschedule marijuana for the desperate hail mary. You'd think it was perfect for him because in many ways it wouldn't really change the status quo of state-level legalization, but shows he's at least read a dorm room poster at some point in his life.
I don't know where USA Today found these people.
Kristian Mansel, 23 said she's willing to see a Trump victory if it means Biden and Democratic Party learn a lesson. She's mad Biden and Democrats have failed to protect reproductive rights or wipe out student loans.
"It's just there's too many strikes against him and the Democratic Party at this point in general," said Mansel, a University of Memphis student who considers herself liberal.
Has she paid any attention at all to what each party is trying to do?
Nobody wanted to choose between Hilary and Trump in 2016 and look what fucking happened. Don't make the same dumbfuck mistake by not voting or voting 3rd party without enough support to ever come close to winning.
Everyone sucks; but you're not doing anything good by not choosing the least shitty option.
"It feels like the older generation is still in charge, and there are such huge differences in our experiences," said Jeremy Gold, 30, of Nashville.
"We feel like we've been ripped off by the 'American dream' idea ‒ we've seen the financial repercussions of our parents' and grandparents' generations multiple times over, seen a lot more violence and war than we were originally told would happen, and we feel ripped off," he said. "The lack of voting is probably a little bit of a middle finger to those who passed that to us."
This is how I feel.
How many troll headlines like this are young voters going to accept? Every headline like this just screams, "Young voters are to f*cking stupid to understand." Seriously trolls, this is the best you've got?
I suppose everyone has to regret something....
ITT: angry centrists who would rather lose and have someone to blame than admit that politicians need to appeal to voters.
Lemmy.world users trying not to blame Biden for his own unpopularity challenge (impossible)
How about we just all admit the government is bad and burn it all to the ground?
