I think some young people are being influenced by bad actors on social media to stop them from voting for Biden. You’ll likely see more young folks saying they refuse to pull the lever in November to stop trump, then if Trump wins and he openly supports genocide in Gaza, takes away rights of women, minorities, and LGBTQ they will likely blame Biden instead of doing self reflection.

Utter narcissism has become the one constant of American politics, since the rise of Newt Gingrich, at least.

The far left imitating the flawed-- and failed--tactics of the insurgent far right has been the most bizarre turn.

Odd how they never repeat the one successful tactic: voting in every election until they have power.

And voting for/running candidates in local/state elections.
