Liberals keep saying young people need to vote blue no matter who or else politicians will ignore them and only cater to older people lol. That’s not how it works. Why don’t you use to tens of millions of dollars in corny political ads and try to sell to young people, or better yet use that money to materially improve their lives

or even better than that, put up a candidate that doesn't have a decades long history of anti-gay, anti-feminist, anti-integration stances and/or isn't okay with genocide or apartheid multiple times over the decades.

obama was the closest thing they ever had to that and we had one of the highest voter turn outs ever as a result; but this fact must to too inconvenient for them since they went right back to the old status quo candidates and cock blocked a popular candidate from the presidency twice.

I really think it's the DNC being an ideological void trapped in the end of history. There's nothing for them to aspire too, no better future to build. Their world doesn't allow it. All it allows for is crooks and grifters to chase influence and power, they have nothing to build a coherent identity or philosophy around. They cannot plan for a future because for them there is no future./ Or maybe thjey're just fucking idiots.

Fr, why should I even vote this election when what the dems are going to do is simple: they’re going to take a dive and let the GOP win?

Hell, Biden might as well just be Raegan.
