A little deeper analysis into the whole 'lol young people don't vote' narrative that's taken hold, it looks like a bigger factor was older voters coming out in much larger numbers and swamping any increases in the youth vote.

For a big chunk of the Dem electorate Joe is the 'safe' candidate, especially among older voters, and I think that looking back the the late Feb stock market collapse and breakout of COVID-19 will end up being identified as key drivers in swinging things in Biden's favor. Still remains to be seen whether that fear will be enough to overcome Trump in November though, and it's not a great basis for a long-term governing coalition.

So primary voting population went up, but the youth vote didn't track. you can phrase that however you want but if the old people numbers went up and the middle people numbers go up and the young people numbers don't go up that means a smaller percentage of the youth vote came out in comparison with the rest of the population.


You can try and think of this as old people came out as a result of young people coming out, and I wish that was true, but old people don't even know that people under 40 exist. To them everybody under 40 is 17 and snotty.

That spreadsheet right there says the youth numbers did go up. What are you talking about?

It's not tethered. It doesn't track. Looking at other states it's even more apparent. The vote participation increased but the youth vote did not increase at the same rate.

Just like folks have been saying.

Like this dude has the sum total cell cut off of his screen grab for some reason.

I don't want anyone to leave here misreading the context. Richard Marx is correct. Myriad is both a noun and an adjective, and therefore it was wrong to correct him. Source: https://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/myriad

Proof this counts as current events:

Merriam-Webster, emphasis mine posted:

Recent criticism of the use of myriad as a noun, both in the plural form myriads and in the phrase a myriad of, seems to reflect a mistaken belief that the word was originally and is still properly only an adjective. As the entries here show, however, the noun is in fact the older form, dating to the 16th century. The noun myriad has appeared in the works of such writers as Milton (plural myriads) and Thoreau (a myriad of), and it continues to occur frequently in reputable English. There is no reason to avoid it.

When you look at the 2016 Republican Party platform, there's all kinds of stuff they wanted to pass, in large part because there's only so much you can break or defund though executive action alone. They failed, for a variety of reasons, and those failures are going to hurt them on election day.

Maybe in primaries, not on election day.
