the fact that even leftists don't understand that Jan 6th's biggest lesson is 'this is how you actually get things' is genuinely baffling to me. Like, the entire republican party has closed ranks to punish anyone who even says 'maybe this was a bad idea yea' and people are still talking about 'women's marches'????
A lot of people seem to think there's some ounce of shame to be had within the elites of America's power structure. Like if we embarrass them enough, or point out their hypocrisy, we'll get a guy like Biden or Trump to suddenly not be an rear end in a top hat. You can't move sociopaths unless there's material consequences. The consequences don't have to be violent even, it could be as simple as inconveniencing capital.

Another spring commute

quote:

Earlier this year, approval for President Joe Biden among people aged 18-30 hit depths no Democratic president had plumbed in decades: the mid- to low-30s in Gallup and other polls. (Barack Obama never dropped below 42 percent among that group in Gallup’s surveys.) In some cases, the swing against Biden in 2021 totaled anywhere from 20 to 30 percentage points. He has since made gains in some polls but is still on unstable ground.

Where Democrats spent past elections mostly worried about whether young people would vote, “this cycle is different,” Della Volpe continued. In the face of economic unrest, disinformation and without former President Donald Trump as a foil, he said, “Democrats need to persuade them and mobilize them. That is the new reality.”

A warning sign about young people’s political enthusiasm came out of Virginia’s governor’s race last year. TargetSmart, a Democratic data firm, found turnout among 18- to 29-year-olds dropped by just over a half a percentage point compared to the last gubernatorial election, even though Virginia worked aggressively in the last two years to expand access to the ballot.

Terrance Woodbury, another Democratic pollster, also stressed that he’s “not optimistic” about young people’s participation in the midterms, noting that Virginia’s electorate in 2021 was “11 percent older and 7 percent whiter” than in 2020.

“The key question we’re facing is if youth turnout in 2020 was driven more by opposition to Trump than strong enthusiasm for Biden,” said Tom Bonier, TargetSmart’s CEO.

Just the dumbest motherfuckers alive, lol.

quote:

[Della Volpe] noted that Democrats can sometimes stand in their own way in reaching young people because “they’re intimidated” and they “get weighed down in the transactional nature of politics.” Della Volpe pointed to the tack Biden took as he locked up the Democratic presidential nomination: “Say, ‘where do we agree with Bernie Sanders’ groups? Where do we agree, and what’s the process to get there?’”

Della Volpe listed a handful of policy areas where potential executive actions from Biden “would very quickly capture the attention of [young] people.” The list includes student debt, mental health, climate change and dealing with the rising cost of living.

“It’s been over a year of a Democratic trifecta and young people are really disappointed because not much has been accomplished around student debt or on ambitious climate goals,” said Ellen Sciales, a press secretary for the Sunrise Movement. “People are losing hope.”

"Literally do something, anything that will tangibly improve the lives of young people and they will come out in droves to vote for you."
"Yes but have you considered the deficit? Why won't they just be good little drones and rally around the flag to defeat Putin???"
