Joe Biden has been losing support with young voters. Some young men in Philly, meanwhile, cite inflation, immigration, and “the Democrats becoming so cringe,” as reasons for sticking with Trump.
Yup, Obama took his election in a landslide by appealing to progressive youth, his messaging about hope and change gets memed on now but that’s what people actually want and he was convincing.
He of course betrayed them once elected and delt massive damage to the party establishments credibility, but the principle works if you’re trying to win elections as a democrat. These days voters are more conscious of how the truth is revealed in the campaign finances, so fancy speeches and empty promises from corporate dems playing at being progressive don’t get you as far. Gotta be the real deal these days, people have been super jaded.
