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.
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.
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.
this is my last election as an under 45, but i haven’t voted for a major party for El Presidente since Obozo’s first term, let me be clear. i thought he was gonna close gitmo.
i work with a bunch of PMC types in the non profit / give a fuck sector, so they are generally younger than me by 10-20 years. there are only a few committed turbolibs, who like brag about their connections to the local DNC franchise. legit cringe. i think probably there’s a chunk that are more fearful of another trump term than a biden term and don’t see a path out, though we all live in a safely red state with just a handful of electoral votes anyway so the emotional investment is non existent for anyone with a functioning mind. so basically, the bulk of the over 45 professionals are all visibly wigging the fuck out about another trump term, to our incredulity. i bet if i told any of the well remunerated / wealthy Gen Xers that i wasn’t gonna vote for biden, they would burst a blood vessel.
what would be amusing to me would be if biden loses, but the dems pick up seats in the house and senate that some kind of antagonistic coalition can form with the numbers to override presidential vetos and fuck with the courts. i don’t think it’s feasible and would probably only do terrible things, but it would be funny.
Idk. American elections are really unpredictable and very close. This is not a defense of Biden or Trump just that it’s like not very different from flipping a coin.
I’ll show up to vote on local candidates and referendums but I’m writing in “Free Palestine” for president and I suggest anyone else going to the polls do the same.
Can’t wait for the endless think pieces about how young people are conservative
Oh, god. The NYT all by itself will publish scores of op-eds, think pieces, and even articles “explaining” the phenomenon. And all them will be high up on the homepage.
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.
