People forget that Biden BARELY won in 2020 when everything went his way, including the fact that he didn't have to campaign. Most people on the East Coast went to sleep thinking Trump had won, and the margin in the battleground states was narrow. This November is going to be a massacre.
My theory is they consider the youth vote locked down and are willing to piss a few of them off in May in an attempt to help him with other demographics (olds).
Dangerous game to play, but I think it's the one they are playing.
I heard on NPR this morning that according to the latest Marist poll his numbers with older voters and college-educated men have really increased. I am wondering if he is doubling down on these demos
Sounds like the college presidents' gambit: Go after the olds who have money and clout at the risk of losing for a generation the people gaining money and building clout. (Except they all probably assume that those in solidarity with Gaza will never have money or clout.)
Nope it is Biden
You need to go back to his Senate years and his Votes on Iraq and torture. Biden is wholly racist. Not who people think.
Senate Durbin voted against war. Biden campaigned for it.
They think going after ticket master, potential student debt relief, and a leaked story about rescheduled marijuana is enough. What more could the kids possibly want?
They only want to win under a very specific set of circumstances. If they have to concede certain things, they’d rather lose because those things are not worth giving up to them. They know Orange Guy will keep those things in place.
I am not sure that even siding with the young in every issue will get a large turnout in 24 and making sure the Trump Biden voters don't switch back is the priority for the WH.
Probably the smart choice.
Tons and tons of Gazans are posting pictures thanking the students. Years ago I met a couple of people from Iraq who said that during the war, the demonstrations meant an enormous amount to them, it told them they weren't alone, that the whole world didn't hate them.
I’m glad some Gazans are feeling like they are not forgotten. But it’s not enough. Media centers on the Students, not the actual issues.
Was part of those demonstrations against the Iraq War. We qualitatively did shit.
I watched Bagdad being bombed with adult students.
We achieved crap.
I'm not a huge fan of listening to people doing absolutely nothing tell the people putting their safety and futures on the line and getting beaten down by cops that they're doing it wrong.
What's your plan?
How about enlarging into an actual Peace movement that cuts out the antisemetic tropes, calls for an immediate Ceasefire and presses for an actual 2 State now.
Also. You don’t know me. Or what I had to sacrifice to oppose the Iraq War and be run down by cops.
