More worrying is the 70+% of voters who refuse to believe the economy is going great guns touted by economists like Paul Krugman who continues to scratch his head when polling doesn’t agree. When told the inflation dropped from 8% to 3% since 2012, 38% refused to believe it. ALERT! They go to the grocery store every week, and wait til they find out that dropping inflation rate does not mean prices are going back down to pre-pandemic levels. Then Dems really have a problem. Biden should make a symbolic attempt to reign in price cheats, always a tricky business, probably too late, but that’s his real problem. Sky-high interest rates; home buyers are screwed, employee mobility is affected, credit card debt at historic rates, student debt payments resume. Fingers crossed for REAL good news in 2024.
I totally understand young people and how they feel. I can see how someone like Cornell West could be attractive. However, what we must get across is that any vote for a third party is essentially like voting for Trump. Whether they like Biden or not if they want to keep their democracy he is the only choice and they should view it as a vote for democracy not as a vote for Biden.
That's a shocking statistic: "According a poll in 2020, 63% of Americans under 40-years-old did not know that 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust." Granted, the Israel-Palestine conflict is extremely complicated, and if you don't develop an understanding of the historical background, you are an easy mark for manipulation. Having lived in the Mideast for nearly a decade, I developed a mini-course on Substack. https://jimbuie.substack.com/p/mini-course-on-israel-palestine-history
If they think Biden does not share their world view, gust wait until they try to live under Trump II.
