13370565, but legions of young voters *didnt* vote Posted by akon, Wed Mar-04-20 01:21 AM
I mean i am waiting to see the polling but it doesn't seem as though there were multitudes of young people participating in the primaries and that's already a red flag.
i don't know about 'we are in an anti-establishment' period. i don't know where you get this from. if the political arena was about establishment vs anti then the progressives in the race would've done *much* better regardless of whatever else and certainly the 'establishment' its the voters that count and my reading is that the voters aren't where *we* think they are.
>I'm sure most if not all of us here will vote for Biden.
and i hope this is the case - but i am not certain in 2016 the electoral win was based on ~a 70k vote difference (i believe - this could be wrong) and while we can talk about gerrymandering and all that i also think dems failing to coalesce around the nominee plays a role in this and this will be the same case if we do this again.
republicans dont have these qualms. we are here projecting failure - i dont get it at all
if we lose? its going to be because of this right here republicans arent losing sleep over voting for an idiot
