Another poll showing that the Biden admin has somehow managed to completely lose younger Americans.
It reports he's FORTY POINTS underwater among Gen Z/Millennials, but no more than 8 points behind among any other group, and more popular with the elderly.
Rant: PDFs are spawn of the devil.
I help bag my groceries, I return my cart all the way to the store, and if I see someone stocking shelves I feed them churros from my pockets.
I do self-checkout every time even though I always have a shitload of groceries. What does that say about me?
I do it for covid. Teenagers make people nervous but I remember being a teenager and finding it strange that my presence alone would put people on edge. Once in a movie theater before the film even started a white boomer lady yelled at us, saying she just wanted to drink her beer and enjoy the show. There were three of us and I don’t think we were talking that loudly and we hadn’t even noticed her until then. We were just like, uh, okay, and then we watched the movie without incident. I still remember her words: “I just wanna drink my beer!”
Imagine not wanting to get out of the grocery store as soon as possible by splitting the work of bagging shit.
well young people dont vote so its fine, we'd better pivot harder to the right and capture some silent generation votes! :biden-troll:
"for every young person we lose , we will pick up two veterans of the american civil war"
This is undeniably true. As a corporation that fields (shitty) candidates for elections, they know who their reliable consumers are
Somewhere down in the replies:
Older dems can huff the copium all they want, he’s easily the least effective president since Carter. A real embarrassment (at least Carter was sentient).
:michael-laugh:
mfw realizing Bush Jr is still younger today than our last two presidents were when taking office :harold-manic:
I just imagined a stoned and red-eyed Biden looking up at Capitol Hill from the base of the steps and saying "that's what they meant by higher office"
"Young people" lmao older millenials are nearly 40.
Look at that "under 45" line, it's almost exactly the fucking same as the GenZ/Millenials line.
"Young people" is a fucking lie. They've been gaslighting with it for ages now.
The politicians keep getting older but we stay the same age, relatively speaking.
The median age in the US is 38. People under the age 40 are an outright majority, but in election discourse they are treated like an irrelevant fringe.
The split isn't young and old. It's haves and have nots. The split is literally class.
Yup, that seems pretty obvious so ofc the media will instead frame it as a higher education or not split, without mentioning that that is also a signal of class division
The think pieces this will generate will not be "what can we do to help young people", they'll probably be "IS GEN Z THE MOST CONSERVATIVE GENERATION EVER? I SPOKE TO 5 NAZIS AND THEY ALL SAID YES"
weird how they lump genz and millenials together but the silent generation are recorded in their own category, like surely that generation is almost irrelevant now because most are dead?
It's because the Boomers still have hegemony over society because they never retire until they die at the age of 41k years old because of their golden plated healthcare.* For them anyone under the age of 50 is just a kid who can be safely ignored as some uppity know nothing.
*Yes I know this doesnt apply to poor and working class boomers, but they arent the ones who cling to positions of power like fucking carrion lords.
What’s weird is acting like millennials aren’t bigger than boomers.
it sure doesn't feel like we are
Hey at least they're not still referring to everyone born after 1980 as millenials like most places do. It's a baby step, but still progress
8% Republican approval, 33% independent approval
so, how's that working across the aisle and appealing to Never Trumpers and swing voters work out for you, Jack?
If you listen to neolibs, it's because he's swung too far left and kowtowed to Bernie and the Squad, and that he actually needs to appeal to the other side more.
Its fine, they have contempt for "the youth" anyways and let us know that at every possible occasion
“The youth” according to these numbers are 45 and under LMAO
One of the races you should be keeping up on is the PA gubernatorial race. The Republican candidate is Doug Mastriano. This guy is the most fascist politician in the entire US. He's a racist conspiracist who has pledged not to certify any Democratic electoral victory in PA. If 2024 comes down to PA again, like it did in 2016 and 2020, you can guarantee shit is going to get really cool.
And running for senate in PA is Fetterman, who would probably be the second or third most based lib in the senate. Pennsylvania is going to be fun to watch this year
Fetterman vs Dr Oz, mind you. funnier if Fetterman wins, very depressing if he loses to a TV celebrity that has been subpoenaed by Congress.
It’s about time we have a Turkish nationalist in the US senate
It's part of his image. Funny enough, he was always an upper middle class business type. Still, he will likely be second best only to Bernie should he become Senator.
NPR had a story a few weeks ago about a lot of the people who certify the elections being replaced by diehard trump Republicans who think the election was stolen from him. This is happening all over the country.
It's NPR but it was pretty through with interviews so i found it a pretty convincing story.
Granted I think Biden is just gonna lose outright anyway but if somehow he actually pulls it off i doubt the Republicans would let him win
The problem is Shapiro is shit. Think :pete: but even fucking worse. So, Mastriano has a chance because yet again the PA democrats just cleared the decks for a lanyard wearing sicko
He has 0 chance of winning. The Dem nominee - Josh Shapiro - is tight with the national Dem establishment, he's a gross "tough on crime" type, and Pennsylvania is a key focus for the Dems as Scranton Joe has a special magic there.
A reality TV star has 0 chance of winning against a former First Lady and Secretary of State.
Just gonna plop down here and wait for Crosstabs Guy to show up and assure me that Biden will be fine because young people don't vote.

Young people don't vote, so they don't matter.
-
We wouldn't have lost if young people had voted for us!!! This is your fault!!!!!!
cool that the youth are basically the #1 public enemy to fascist boomers
Subconsciously they know what they did to us and what they deserve from us

I'm always struck by how many "data" guys are amoral schmucks who don't actually care about anybody but themselves...
Why You Should Never, Ever Listen To Nate Silver | Current Affairs
December 29, 2016
But the central problem with Silver is that ultimately, he's producing horse-race stuff. He doesn't actually care about politics very much in terms of its human stakes. (In fact, according to journalist Doug Henwood, Silver once said that he "doesn't give a shit" about politics.)
He doesn’t actually care about politics very much in terms of its human stakes.
Incorrect. Nate Silver is, in fact, also a neoliberal sociopath.
