Once again, these people are stupid. How is Biden to blame for republicans, who, like always, block legislation and do nothing but cause problems and then say "see, govenrment bad,"? its 50/50 now, and lets be real, manchin and sinema are republicans. They can't pass anything, even things that are fillibuster proof.I think it was the failure to get the BBB passed and the fact he isn't left enough that has tanked him with young people. BBB was extremely popular with younger voters who benefited immensely with it.
I continue to marvel that anyone thinks this kind of crap is a basis to run victory laps. Whatever his ratings, he beat Trump, and he only beat Trump because Trump was that bad. I told you I'd vote for a literal festering dog turd over Trump if that was my choice. Many who would've done the same said as much, even if using different words.
I mean...yeah. Young people who are on the right don't like Biden because they are on the right.
Young people on the left don't like Biden because he is too far right for them. A lot of young people support Bernie/AOC and believe Biden has failed to deliver a progressive agenda.
So he only really ever had support in the first place from the tiny minority of young moderates.
Biden won because of the media/social media propaganda blitz which was mostly lies.
It won't work twice.
Biden promised he would get it done. Biden promised he could get the other Joe on board. The Progressive wing blamed Biden for not keeping his word. These young voters wanted BBB very much and to them, it was a real blow when it went down in flames. Might be unfair given Manchin wasn't going to budge but that doesn't matter, the buck stops with BidenOnce again, these people are stupid.

Where is the blame for the POS do nothing Republicans? And moron, shitty Americans are likely going to bring back republicans to cut taxes on the wealthy, stack pro corporate hacks on the courts, and do nothing but cause even more problems. And repeat the cycle.
This country can go down in flame for all I care if they go back to giving power to scumbag republicans. Deserve the Afghanistan this country will become

Agree with some of what you say but I think it was things like parental leave, affordable day care and environmental initiatives that young adults wanted in the BBB. I don't think that child tax credit was the deal breaker with them. Was student loan forgiveness in the deal? I didn't think it was.<sigh> Yeah, all that's true. But I think what Callen is saying, they're tired of the excuses. They just want the shit passed.
To be honest, though, I think the Democrats need to have a serious reckoning when it comes to their continued championing welfare state. Yes, I get that taking away tax credits for children in 'working poor' households is going to make them go from 'working poor' to 'shithouse poor'. But maybe a little bit of family planning next time?
And the whole college debt cancellation thing...I mean, I do think there should be some ability to resolve extreme debt but I think both parties need to come together to find a way to address post-secondary education and training. Just sending everyone to state university, encouraging 18-24 year-olds with no work history to take out as much as an expensive mortgage in student loans with no questions asked...that's a recipe for disaster. Sorry, it just is. But the left's answer is either "free education for all", which is not practical or "send everyone to college" and create a student loan, higher ed bubble.
Government has a role, but it can't bail their asses out of every hardship or challenge that comes up in life, and not everyone needs to use government loans to 'better themselves' in a university setting. I'd like to see a Democrat with some 'oomph' kind of drive that point home in the next primary. Clinton Democrats weren't bad for the party. And maybe now with the reality of inflation setting in, maybe we can have someone with some balls and charisma stand up to the Bernie wing of the party without fear or favor.
I think the country's character is the country's character. Politics is the art of the possible. The Berniecrats have made politics the art of the impossible.
I doubt the BBB had much if anything to do with it. I think with rising prices, inflation, the economy in general. The younger generations are feeling the pinch just like the older generations. We’re talking approval rating here. These young one’s may be dissatisfied with Biden, but they still state they’ll vote for the Democratic congressional candidates.I think it was the failure to get the BBB passed and the fact he isn't left enough that has tanked him with young people. BBB was extremely popular with younger voters who benefited immensely with it.
Biden won because independents grew sick and tired of Trump’s spoiled brat, childish antics of name calling, throwing temper tantrums along with his 3rd grade schoolyard bullying tactics. Biden came across to these independents as the only adult in the room. Hence, they voted for Biden 54-41 over Trump. I don’t think many of these independents really cared much for Biden, they were voting against Trump than for Biden. Biden happened to be the acceptable alternative to Trump. Fact is, anyone without the last name Trump probably would have done.Biden won because of the media/social media propaganda blitz which was mostly lies.

I was a little vague with my language. Plenty of young people "supported" him as an alternative to Trump. But he never had a strong base among younger voters.No, he used to have 60% support among the 2 youngest voting groups, which equates to much more than a "tiny minority of young moderates". That's dropped 20%.

In one corner, there are candidates that excel among younger people: Sen. Bernie Sanders is satisfactory as nominee for 70% of voters aged 18 to 29, which is over 15 percentage points better than his performance overall. On the other hand, he's at 39% among those 60 and up, which is 16 percentage points less than usual.
I don't think it will either.It won't work twice.
