Biden is toast with people under 45 isn't he? (hexbear.net)

The 45+ crowd will vote for him because they support isn'treal and are afraid of Drumpf but I think we're going to see a massive drop out of young voters. Probably too with the people who already don't vote to begin with, namely service workers who are fucked over either way with D's and R's.

And here I thought Biden was going to win in November, time to eat crow.

I think the under 45 participation rate will be so low that Trump will actually get more support than Biden, because at least his base loves him.

Can't wait for the endless think pieces about how young people are conservative 🙄

Oh, god. The NYT all by itself will publish scores of op-eds, think pieces, and even articles "explaining" the phenomenon. And all them will be high up on the homepage.

Depends how much the election fraud narrative is pushed. If Trump convinces enough supporters that voting is meaningless, then both parties would be dealing with self-inflected low turnout. Granted, if the belief that democracy is dead is a strong enough belief to suppress Trump votes enough for Biden to win, then we risk bigger problems regardless of the outcome of the vote.
