Young voters overwhelmingly say they would support President Biden over former President Trump in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up if the 2024 presidential election were held today, according to a poll released Wednesday.
In the Economist/YouGov poll — conducted via web-based interviews Dec. 16-18 — more than half (53 percent) of registered voters under 30 said they would support Biden, and less than a quarter (24 percent) said they would support Trump.
Another 10 percent said they would support another candidate, 4 percent said they were not sure, and 9 percent said they wouldn’t vote.
You're viewing a single thread.
biden the man who helped take voting rights away, did not defend women's rights or anyone's bodily autonomy (why would this catholic defend abortion rights anyways), first day as president went back on campaign promises and fired cannabis users, promised national police reform and did nothing look at Georgia's cop city, minimum wage was a campaign promise that went nowhere
and as soon as you bring this up you get labeled as a trump lover and vilified
this country is totally fucked and is disuniting more by the day just look at the states rights issue federal law is going away in favor of what fifty individual states want to do
well the other guy has rallies where they chant "kill f*ggots, kill all transgenders" so show me a meaningful alternative that doesn't require a full overhaul of both the electorate and the electoral system by next November or I'm voting for Biden
Its a little infuriating that every Biden criticism is met with "But Trump is bad!".
Like, yeah, we know, that's why the thought of Biden losing by being a weak candidate scares the shite out of us.
then take my criticism to be

There's a concept in software development called 'shift-left', it means the best time to make meaningful changes and fix problems is as early in the development cycle as possible. The same concept is true in politics. If you're not voting or participating in state/municipal elections, primaries, etc. then you're gonna be stuck with whoever ends up on the 'major' ballots at the end of the cycle.
The presidential election is essentially the 'last resort' and the reality of the situation is that your options are now limited to 2 people who actually have a chance of winning.
So, do you vote for someone who is
- Actively trying to harm people
- The person who doesn't do all the things you want, but isn't actively trying to tear the country apart, or,
- Some rando
The first option is obviously bad, and the third is no different than not voting, and not voting is essentially a vote in favour of the person you want least to win.
What do you do? You vote for the lesser of two evils and get 4 more years to make an impact in the elections that are actually important.

Like local elections, where the national party will openly support an anti-choice labor-hating NRA stooge if his opponent is a progressive.
