It's all the more frustrating because we genuinely don't have a good explanation for it. Biden's approval is NINE POINTS LOWER THAN TRUMP'S AMONG YOUNG VOTERS, in the exact same poll, 4 years ago. That makes no sense if this is about policy. https://poll.qu.edu/images/polling/us/us06202018_uyms36.pdf
The twitter thread is hilarious. OP is really upset that The Youth have an accurate view of Biden's achievements and despise the bastard unreservedly. "OH no they're in an echo chamber! Echo chamber! Eccchoooo Chammmmber!"
No, dude. Biden has done nothing of value when hard core open fascism is bearing down on us.
It's really time to give up the desperate, sweaty attempts to salvage "material interests" from the tidal wave of evidence that it just really doesn't affect day-to-day politics. At some point just accept that it was a nice idea that is wrong
I think it's fascinating that he says it's vital to look at political situations without blinders. Yet - he simply can never deviate from his take that voters get all their opinions from social media and the teevee. Also he seems entirely unable to look at anything through the eyes of other people.
If you're a young American and you want hope - for example at least some of following - greater equality, greater equity, less income inequality, democracy to continue, you don't want fascism, you don't want people to have their rights taken away one after another, and - of course - you want and demand a livable climate in the following decades and beyond that - what is Biden providing you with? Fucking nothing. In fact - it's clear Biden only cares about economic stats and data.
His covid response is proof of that. Young people are only cogs in the economic machine. Biden has only shown the young disrespect. He doesn't even pretend to give a fuck. And the fucker won't even cancel student loaners in a sane non-mean tested way or legalize cannibis. His entire shtick to young people is - vote for democrats becuase the GOP is worse. Hardly inspiring.
